Consistent lately and admirable career strike-rate (seven from 27 to date); hard to crab his most recent performance (third of eight) here over 1m (Grade 1) four weeks ago; shouldn't be too far away.

All his victories have been gained at a lower level; finished last of seven in a stakes race upped to 1m1f (behind Purple Pitcher) 14 days ago; this is competitive and one to tread carefully with.

Finished tailed off over 6f at Scottsville (conditions race) last month; all his wins have been at a lower level and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win 18 months ago); easy enough to take on given many of his rivals are in good form.

Imilenzeyokududuma might have a say while Atticus Finch looks an obvious danger to the tip. But best of these might be FIRE ATTACK. He finished runner-up in the SA Classic last time out and has been successful at this track before.
