Evidence was heard from the trainer concerned and also from The Senior Rules Of Racing Handicapper Garry O'Gorman. Garry O'Gorman outlined the horses form - stating that Drakensberg had run to a mark of 75 at the backend of last season. After a 7 month lay off and numerous poor runs he was now running off a mark of 60 and he rated the improvement somewhere in the region of over a stone. The trainer stated that his horses had been under a cloud recently - but appeared to have turned a corner with some of the other horses in his yard running back to form. With regard to this gelding - he added that he had been working well in the last 14 days - which he relayed to the owners and expected the gelding to perform better than his recent runs)(op 5/1)
