Just his fourth outing so still early days; appears to be going forwards; well held when runner-up at Vaal 14 days ago; a likely player.

Copy And Paste
J: C Maujean
T: A G Laird
Likely type on breeding; related to Grade 1 winner Undercover Agent; by no means ruled out with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire is a speed influence.

Kalahari Kid

Sibling of Sahara Dawn (5f winner); sire can inject some quality; should not be far away with signs of encouragement in profile and could be a speedy type on breeding.

Amberforgo
J: C Zackey
T: S G Tarry
Respectable debut effort (beaten 3½l) over this trip at Vaal at 12-1 four weeks ago; hails from a good trainer; should be more streetwise; warrants plenty of respect.

Verdict

AMBERFORGO rates a strong recommendation. She can be expected to find big improvement on her second outing. Copy And Paste is a newcomer with decent breeding while The Buffalo looks the next best, and Kalahari Kid and Copy And Paste are the most appealing of the newcomers.
