Can't really make up my mind - yes he was out a bit at the weights, but should still have beaten Exclaim 'N Exclude imo - and really the 3rd horse almost ran him out of 2nd; on the other hand he confirmed the form with Mr Black Tom who is quite a smart sprinter as well - not sure who is going to run in the Computaform - depends on what the Cape guys bring (if anything) and then there is also Royal Zulu Warrior from KZN - not sure if he is in this league - going to be an interesting race for sure

The plan is for What A Winter to run in the Computaform. Exclaim'n'Exclude is a very good horse and maybe the 1000m is the way to go with him after all, but what would worry me much more if I were one of Magico's connections is how close Challenger Quay got to him. On those weight terms he should not have been in the same race, and while races are not run on paper I find it hard to believe that Magico ran his best race here.
