Leeson

J: N Nastili ⁹

T: C J Lensley

Could not manage better than fourth (handicap, Turffontein Standside) last July stepped up to 1m2f; a course winner; makes debut for stable; needs a check in the betting as been off for a long time; his claims aren't overly compelling as this is a tougher test

Bloomington is one to consider, and if excusing their latest efforts, Kyomai and Billy Spellbound enter calculations. However, FORT LAUDERDALE is top of the list. He has won here once before and sets the form standard based on his most recent effort.
