BUMPS LAST GRIND had legitimate excuses for his disappointing showing last time and a subsequent 92-day break would've done him good. On the strength and consistency of his earlier form, he should take advantage of this drop in class under a 4kg claimer. Fellow class-droppers CLAIRWOOD ROSE and INAFIX should also acquit themselves competitively at this level off reduced marks. HIS LORDSHIP and recent runner-up, albeit at a lower level, NKANDLA GOLD have earning potential too.
