Has been knocking on the door and a number of recent efforts here offer plenty of encouragement; finished in front of Labrausco and Magic Prince in a maiden plate last month when beaten just under 3l to finish second at Turffontein Inside; if stepping up from most recent effort needs to be respected

Verdict

Fish Eagle competes off the back of some good runs, and Insightful holds claims if his latest performance can be forgiven. However, PONTIAC looks the one to back. He is capable of taking the next step after finding only one too good on his debut and can confirm superiority with Sagan and Elusive Justice who were behind him last time.
