| 14 Mar 26 | Tur Turffontein | 7f | 8-3 | 7/10 | Sunset Riot (5½L) | 11/2 | 102 | 78 |
Creditable effort when 20-1 third here over 7f (stakes race) last month; quite a while since he tasted success and wins have come at a lower level; with more on his plate looks risky.

Loves this venue (five wins from 29 course runs) and although no show last time out, he had been running consistently well prior to that; was held in seventh in a handicap three weeks ago.
