R6) – Exelero (33/10), opened 6/1 and there has been steady support for this one. Just the history of this horse’s racing career thus far, coupled with Marshall’s opinion of the horse, says a lot. This horse debuted against winners around the turn at Clairwood and was backed into favourite that day. Next time out in open company, he started 1/5 and murdered them. I have healthy respect for the Van Zyl runner, Heart Of A Lion (9/2), because he also trotted up against open company in his latest run, over Saturday’s distance, and that was a strong field. Unfortunately he has drawn very wide (14/15) which makes his task a little more stiffer – not saying he can’t win from that draw, if he does win from that draw, it will be something special to witness, and us Exelero punters can't feel aggrieved.

I must say, I was a little bit surprised that they hardly said anything about Heart of a Lion... I know it is a very wide draw, but this horse won his last three races with a wide draw. I don't know, all I can say, Heart of a Lion travelled really well to Durban today.

All the best Nic, I am sure he will do you proud. (tu)

I was looking at the card today and felt that at 28/1 if Bravuru comes back to his earlier form, barring the poor draw must be a bit of a runner come Saturday. Looks to be regaining his form with a nice last win under a big weight.
