Comes off a 7-day backup after finishing 4th at Turffontein over 1160m on 30 Apr, beaten 8L on good going at $61. Two runs prior at the Vaal were 6th over 1199m and 11th over 1200m, both on good tracks. Draws barrier 1 here for Philasande Mxoli for trainer D Gray St John.

Back to 1000m after a 14-day turnaround; last start 5th of 8 at Turffontein over 1000m on 23 Apr, beaten 12.81L with 60kg at $61. Best run this prep was two back at Vaal over 1000m on 26 Mar when 3rd, beaten 2.29L at $81 behind Gimme Some Luck. Draws barrier 5 with Mickaelle Michel up for Warrick/We Marwing. Can improve back to this trip but needs to lift on recent Turffontein efforts.
