Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Greyville (beaten just over 4l) in a stakes race last month; subpar record of 1-13 and good and bad recent runs found on his CV; this line-up contains some strong opposition so one to tread carefully with.

Verdict
The verdict goes to RAFIKI. He was behind L'ultimo latest but can now overturn placings and he knows how to get his head in front. Ultra Quick has won over C&D.
