Atticus Finch

J: C Habib

T: A G Laird

Completed his hat-trick last time; he accounted for five of his rivals (was done no favours by the draw) at Turffontein Inside 21 days ago, getting the job done by just over 2l; ought to be in the mix despite being up in class

All wins going right handed and season-ticket holder here with four wins; outran 20-1 odds when a close runner-up on first run for his current trainer (Vaal Classic) latest in what looked a strong handicap

A wide-open affair but ATTICUS FINCH is up to landing this. He has been a winner here and can confirm placings with Electric Gold, Litigation and Nebraas, who were behind last month. It could be worth forgiving Aragosta a poor run last time out.
