Held in seventh at Turffontein over 1m2f (maiden plate) in September; proving a little expensive to follow and still winless and defeats stacking up (21 on the bounce).

Verdict

The well drawn District Attorney has claims, and Smuggler has potential to improve. However, AGOGE is hard to look beyond. He is expected to confirm placings after he got the better of Lance Alot, Smuggler and Elusive Glow when last seen and claimed the runners-up spot on his initial start.
