Found life tough when 7l back in seventh over 1m at Turffontein (handicap) a week ago; subpar record of 1-12 and failed to make much of an impact in handicaps recently; steps into the unknown over new trip and easy enough to take on.

COVER CHARGE looks the one to back. He is bidding for his second course success and is the one to beat based on his most recent effort. Circle Of Grace has run well previously over this C&D.
