Orange County

J: P Mxoli

T: S T Pettigrew

Close up behind Guerilla Warfare when fifth over 1m here (handicap) four weeks ago; lightly raced with this just his fourth appearance; has winning track form; this just his second run in a handicap; big run on the cards if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

Potentially well treated on his best form; has won at this course; not beaten far when third over Christmas; not been able to get his head in front lately so looks opposable.
