Mike and Adam Azzie send out Bartholdi in Race 6. He won a very good race in his last start over 1500m on the Turffontein Inside course.
He raced from a handy position and won with a ton in hand.
The son of Act Of War makes his stable debut this afternoon and if settled into his new surroundings, he should take a power of beating.
Barak from the Mike de Kock stable is currently trading at around 11/2 with Hollywoodbets.
His last three starts after returning from a 12-week break have been fair. The son of Master Of My Fate won his only attempt over this course and distance.
