COAST OF THE SUN

TIENIE PRINSLOO · KEAGAN DE MELO · 2yo Colt

Returns from a three-month lay-off with the best overall profile, having ended last campaign by winning a Benchmark 82 at Scottsville from Klein Karoo as a short odds-on favourite. That followed a 2yo MPLTE win at this track over 7f, and his two-from-two record at the distance is a major anchor. The 9st6lb is the one query, but his form, consistency and proven trip credentials make him the horse to beat.
