ARUMUGAM caught the eye when a fast-finishing 4th from a wide draw over 1800m last time and this extended trip off a reduced rating should be more to his liking. MOUNT DARWIN has been out of sorts at a higher level but should be more competitive dropped to this grade in his peak outing off a lower rating. Maturing 3YOs SAND SCRIPT (filly), TERRENCE and last-start maiden winner THOONSIL remain open to improvement and could be better than rated so must be kept onside. Veteran class-droppers DJ JUNIOR and FULL GO could have roles to play too off their current marks.
Kept on for 4th when 40/1 and 4th of 12 runners, 4.60 lengths behind WORLD OF ROYALTY over 1800m at VAAL CLASSIC on 26 March 26. Capable of a decent run.
In touch - no more when 6/1 and 4th of 12 runners, 4.10 lengths behind CARNELO over 1800m at TURFFONTEIN INSIDE on 19 March 26. Should be in the shake-up.
Nasal runs-blowing when 5/2 and 7th of 10 runners, 10.05 lengths behind FUTURE GAMBLE over 2000m at TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE on 19 April 26. Ignore last run-consider.
Slow - pace - tired when 14/1 and 4th of 9 runners, 4.55 lengths behind WORLD OF ROYALTY over 1800m at TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE on 30 April 26. Improving- chance.
Kept on for 4th when 5/1 and 4th of 11 runners, 3.80 lengths behind ORANGE COUNTY over 1800m at TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE on 19 April 26. Consistent-chance.
Raced wide when 20/1 and 14th of 14 runners, 12.00 lengths behind CASUS BELLI over 2000m at TURFFONTEIN INSIDE on 19 February 26. Needs to do a bit more.
