JOCKEY’S Comment:
Muzi Yeni – “My horse ran on strongly in the Daily News and will be even better over the extra 200m. His work has been pleasing and I know he is taking on top horses but I do give him a big chance in the race.”

MAGIC TIPS (Winning Form) Comment:
Continues to improve with each outing, also needs solid gallop, will be running on again.
This is yet another improving three-year old in the line-up who has performed well against his generation in the Guineas and Daily News 2000. This KZN hopeful made eye-catching late headway over ten furlongs on this track last time despite racing very wide into the straight. His earlier victory in a graded contest against older rivals at Scottsville proved his class and the Australian import clearly still has more to offer. The pace is also a worry for him and the other concern is that a race of this magnitude may have come too soon.
