Represents a powerful trainer; left punters frustrated after going off favourite when fifth over 1m at Vaal (maiden plate) in December; market vibes last time suggest he is capable of better so needs considering.

A poor result at a short price when fourth at Vaal two months ago; should give it a bold bid as shown some ability on occasion.

Verdict

The principals look evenly matched but NIGHT SKIZZLE gets the nod. One Of Those Days and Shoreybomba could have a say, and Sivaji is capable of better.
