TRAINER Comments:
Trainer Duncan Howells: “He has come through the Betting World 1900 very well and has recovered from his back problem.”

“He has a nice draw and is fit and well. I am hoping for a first four run.”

MAGIC TIPS (Winning Form) Comment:
This top class four-year old showed his brilliant turn of foot with a form return in achieving his ‘1900’ success over TILBURY FORT (1.5 kgs worse off) last time out. He wasn’t disgraced with a change in tactics in this contest twelve months ago and undoubtedly prefers being ridden by this top class jockey. Admittedly, he has some work to do to confirm his last formline with IT’S MY TURN (2 kgs better off) but KZN’s brightest prospect of winning this event will have many supporters and he merits healthy respect.

Verdict: Back to best last time, runs well for this jockey, include.
