1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Turffontein in January. 100/1, tailed-off ninth of 12 to War of Athena in Gr 2 at Turffontein (12.2f, good) 59 days ago. Very hard to make a case for.

Forecasts

Fred (4/1), Lord Melbourne (5/1), Countfonic Legacy (5/1), Great Warrior (6/1), Into The Future (6/1), Irish Rain (15/2), Black Thorn (17/2), Twin Turbo (12/1), The Kop (12/1), Ideal Wolff (16/1), Rosso Meadow (25/1), Chenopod (33/1)

BLACK THORN is running creditably and seems the one they have to beat. Lord Melbourne could provide the chief danger, while Twin Turbo is another to consider.
