Fully Loaded

J: S Khumalo

T: F P Habib

Was on the premises (third, beaten 2l) over C&D (handicap) last month from an unhelpful draw, a race won by the reopposing Whorly Whorly; useful partnership with this jockey, back together here; has to be taken seriously despite this step up in class

A poor result at a short price (handicap) at Turffontein Inside last month; decent effort when a close runner-up here 40 days ago; has been eased in the weights; tame last time but runner-up, albeit some way off the winner, at Vaal 40 days ago; can figure

EIFFEL TOWER is hard to look beyond. He has won here twice before and is lightly raced; there ought to be more improvement to come. Alabama Anna has been hiked up the weights which tempers enthusiasm while Napoleon needs to bounce back from a below-par performance, and this trip could be a bit far for Fully Loaded.
