ONETWOBUCKLEMYSHOE (8) was well fancied on debut here over 1450m and ran well but just missed, beaten a nose. Has big upside and looks ideally placed at the mail. The one to beat on that. WAR SUMMIT (3) is the clear and maybe only danger. Was fourth on debut then has landed back to back placings over a mile. Further improvement would see him in the finish again. ARIZONA MAGIC (2) has started twice and both over sharper races when being beaten for early speed. May improve sharply out in journey now. GAVIUS MAXIMUS (6) finished fourth at two runs to date and is another stretching out in distance. Worth keeping safe.

Racing well recently. Most recently 3rd of 10 at this track on October 4 over 1600m, 7 len behind Olympian Gold with 60kg at $11. The start before that 3rd of 13 at Vaal on September 25 over 1600m, on a slow track; 2.5 len behind Amazon Queen with 57kg at $21. Long overdue and placed this course and distance last time. Should prove hard to beat.

Racing first-up today. Finished off last campaign fourth of 10 at Vaal July 31 over 1200m, 6 len behind Xenophon with 57kg at $17. On debut fourth of 8 at Turffontein Standside June 28 over 1160m, 9 len behind The Last Duke with 60kg at $6. Useful type who should appreciate the longer trip. Should give a sight.

Was well-supported at debut, 2nd of 10 at this track on September 28 over 1450m, nose behind Ringa Ringa Roses with 60kg at $2.30. Heavily bet and just missed here on debut. Shows ability and can go one better.
