LUCKY LAD sets a lofty standard and the booking of Richard Fourie, under whom he has achieved all 7 career victories, is encouraging. Stablemate TIN PAN ALLEY finished 2nd at Grade 1 level as a 2yo and is open to any amount of improvement after a subsequent gelding, so he could pose the biggest threat. Last-start Listed scorer QUANTUM THEORY completes a strong 3-pronged attack for the Tarry yard. Last season's Highveld 3YO Winter Series hero CHOISAANADA and familar foe MUSICAL SCORE also have the means to acquit themselves competitively.
