Comfortably beaten despite finishing second at Turffontein over 1m (maiden plate) four weeks ago; attempts to score at the 13th time of asking but appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; could have a say.

This now his fifth attempt to get off the mark; could not manage better than fifth over 1m at Turffontein (maiden plate) 50 days ago; fitted with blinkers for the first time; likely player based on the pick of his form and he has a good draw.

Verdict
Best of these might be BATTLE OFTHE BULGE. He is taken to reverse placings with those he reopposes. Inclusion rates a big danger while Lunar Rainbow has been running well in defeat of late, and Blurred Vision may have his stamina stretched over this trip.
