Consistent lately and has raised his game the last twice; third when 5-2 over 1m at Turffontein (maiden plate) six weeks ago; assuming he steps up from most recent effort then is of interest.

Beaten 7l when seventh of 13 (Turffontein) last week upped to 1m2f; attempts to score at the 11th time of asking but seems to be improving based on last two runs; finished second two runs ago and too soon to write him off - needs considering.

Verdict

SOVEREIGN CROWN is a strong fancy. Hat Furious should be on the shortlist, and Snow Moon has some good efforts on the ledger.
