Finished third when beaten just under 4l over 1m at Turffontein (apprentice handicap) last month; achieved just the one win; easy to see him making an impression as a number of his rivals have questions to answer and he is running off a lower mark.

Verdict

SKY PILLAR ROCK looks a solid choice. He bids for a second course success. Hopscotch should be in the mix from a decent draw while Commander Of All is entitled to be in the mix, and Fushimi Inari is beginning to look exposed.
