Tiki Taka

J: R Munger

Not fancied in the betting (55-1) when edging home by a short head (Turffontein Standside, this distance, maiden plate) 26 days ago finally opening his account, form of that received a boost with the third obliging since; is respected

This is a tricky puzzle to solve but preference is for SPEECHMAKER. Bahlebonke has run well previously over this course and distance, and Tiki Taka certainly isn't out of it.
