Didn't live up to market expectations on his debut in Turffontein maiden plate over 1m at 5-4 two weeks ago; should be thereabouts as market vibes last time suggest he is capable of better.

Verdict

An open event but it can pay to side with WINTER WHISPER. Doctor Strangelove is expected to take a forward step, and One State should be on the shortlist.
