Couldn't land a blow on his debut over 6f at Turffontein at 100-1 last month; could be more streetwise here; gets an age allowance; should be better for that run.

Verdict

This is not a race for maximum stakes but it's hard to go against COVER CHARGE here. Silent Future is capable of getting involved, and Aint No Doubt is capable of better. Eratosthenes must enter calculations.
