Often runner-up, Special Blend will have a chance to open his counter on his last outing of 2022. He will be the favourite of the main race this Saturday December 17 over the 1600m. Tower Of Wisdom, Culture Trip and Courtroom Magic will be good opponents.
The horse trained by Alain Perdrau was beaten by a short margin by Trippi’s Express last time. Special Blend is in a great shape. He will be ridden by apprentice Nabeel Sheik Batchameah who will claim 3 kg. He will have a great opportunity to win his first race in Mauritius.
Tower Of Wisdom did not disgrace last time. He won on his previous outing, and he is a very consistent horse. He will have a good card to play with apprentice Yanish Taka in the saddle.
Dynamite Jack has not won this season. However, he did not finish far from the winners in his last attempts. He showed a good form at the training and should not be put aside.
Brilliant winner in B56, Culture Trip will meet a tough opposition. He will take full advantage of his good draw and he might be right there.
Courtroom Magic is also going up in class. He won three of his five races this year. He is a genuine performer and he has a good chance to win with his light weight.
