In depth
Verdict
Hout Bay has hit a rich vein of form of late to be placed in his last two starts and has every chance having been turned out quickly in a slightly weaker contest off his current mark. Da Wolf shaped as though he was ready to strike last time and should go well off his light weight with his stable in top form while stablemate Sailing Shoes is capable of going close depite top weight and the in-form Statoyork is another to consider.
