Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, ran last of 11 at this track on March 31 over 1200m, 17 len behind Sherlock Holmes carrying 60kg at $67. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.

By William Longsword out of Comet Chaser on debut. Purchased for ZAR R 125,000 (Cape Thoroughbred Sales 2024 MIXED SALE FEATURING NADESON PARK). Hard to gauge so let the betting tell the story.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, ran last in a small field at Turffontein Standside on March 14 over 1000m, 18 len behind Good Day Sunshine with 60kg at $67. Requires plenty of improvement after a modest debut.

Raced two times to date. At very big odds at debut, ran last of 9 at Turffontein Standside on February 7 over 1000m, 23 len behind World Attraction with 60kg at $67. Second-up 6th of 11 at this track on March 31 over 1200m, 7 len behind Sherlock Holmes carrying 60kg at $126. Should be right in the finish.

Third race start. First start ran last in a small field at Turffontein Standside on December 7 over 800m, 13 len behind Status Symbol with 60kg at $34. Went for a break before returning 5th of 11 at this track on March 31 over 1200m, 7 len behind Sherlock Holmes with 60kg at $126. Likely improver.

Was at long odds at debut, 3rd of 11 at this track on March 31 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Sherlock Holmes with 60kg at $26. Shows ability and expected to improve. Live chance.
