Chocolate Bomb silk
Chocolate Bomb 1
J: G Lerena
T: J J Van Vuuren
Finished ahead of Cornwall scoring narrowly at Vaal in August in what looked a strong handicap; recent performances suggest he is still progressing and seeking a hat-trick; handicapper increases the burden but runs for only the second time in a handicap; up in class but likely to be a leading contender

Verdict

One to bear in mind is Law Of Success despite her current losing run, and Kinshin Sha can give the selection a headache. However, CHOCOLATE BOMB can be superior to his rivals. He has a progressive profile and will be suited by this distance.
