Was held in ninth over 7f at Turffontein (maiden plate) last month, behind Uncle Bob; still winless and defeats stacking up (11 on the bounce); easy to oppose with this looking like a hot contest.

First-time blinkers had no impact at Turffontein over 7f (maiden plate) when a comfortably beaten second last month; has taken a step forward the last twice; Craig Zackey a noteworthy booking; he should go close.

Verdict

Uncle Bob competes off the back of some good runs while Clairwood Breeze should be looked at. But SECRET GETAWAY is fancied for this. He finished ahead of Great Rift Valley and Midnight Show when last seen.
