Not disgraced when seventh of 15 over 6f at Turffontein (handicap) last month; specialist here with three wins and performed at a higher level than this in his peak; handicapper shown some leniency so should give it a bold bid.

Verdict

INAFIX is a firm selection. He comes here off the back of a good effort last time and is bidding for his fourth course success. Twice As Wild has run well previously over this C&D.
