Resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win) and lightly raced for age; finished a decent third of eight over 1m here (handicap) in January; leading claims as he can go well fresh.

Held in sixth over 1m2f here (handicap) three weeks ago; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 4-18); should figure as would have leading chance if back in the same form he showed when winning two starts ago and dropping back to 1m1f is a plus.

Successful seven times from 50 career starts (7f-1m4f); missed the frame (beaten 7l into sixth) at Vaal over 1m4f (handicap) on New Year's Day; this line-up contains some strong opposition so one to tread carefully with.

Generally struggled with a record of 1-12; finished in front of two of these over 1m2f here (handicap) when beaten just under 3l to finish second 23 days ago; recent display was promising so he should go close.

Came home fifth, beaten 10l, here over 7f (handicap) two months ago; you have to go back a fair way to find his only win and not been able to make much of an impact in handicaps recently.

Verdict
Dark Silver has won over C&D while the well drawn Birthright has claims. But DJ JUNIOR is hard to look beyond. He is chasing a second win over this C&D and his good career strike-rate is persuasive.
