The race before that won by 2.25 len at Fairview All Weather December 12 over 2200m defeating Bournemouth carrying 62kg at $4. Unbeaten in all three this time in leading throughout. Harder here but off the inside will take catching.

Most recently 2nd of 9 at this track in the G3 Chairman's Cup on January 10 over 2500m, 0.8 len behind Holding Thumbs carrying 62kg at $21. The run before that 5th of 9 at this track in the G3 Peninsula Handicap on December 13 over 1800m, 6 len behind Regulation carrying 60.5kg at $34. Narrow loss last time behind Holding Thumbs and meets him a kilo better. Could well turn the tables.

Comes here off a 50-day let-up. Last start ran on strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 9 at Fairview All Weather on December 12 over 2200m, 2.25 len behind Zatara Magic carrying 62kg at $21.

Thereabouts last start but meets the winner and runner up far better at the weights. Leading rider goes aboard so don't underestimate.

Last start won by 0.5 len at Turffontein Standside January 11 over 2000m defeating Aladdin's Lamp with 54kg at $15. The start before that 2nd in a small field at Turffontein Standside on December 30 over 2400m, 3.5 len behind Poets Warrior carrying 54kg at $3.30. Preferred in something easier.
