STUNNING (NAP) is likely to a warm order for this maiden. Having a first run since November, he was only a beaten a length by Wylie Wench here at the end of last month and should again beat fourth Stormy Weathers and fifth Dice The Bullet with Piere Strydom in the saddle again. Hot Gossip finished behind Cotopaxi at Vaal on Christmas Eve but appeared to have benefited from a break when third here at the start of last month. Riqaaby has raced seven times over a variety of distances but has been placed four times so can’t be ignored.
