Game win in a decent field

Rock Of Bismantova is by Futura and was considered to be one that will come into his own over more ground, but, brought back to 1200m, he won a strong form race at the Vaal on 24 September, leading all the way down the straight.

Jockey Chase Maujean said: "Fransie (Naude) told me to go easy on the stick as Rock Of Bismantova doesn't like it. He was right. I was a bit worried over the last 50m, but he quickened well and then kept going."

Corne commented: "Looks like we had it wrong with Rock Of Bismantova. He's been frustrating over further, but enjoyed the 1200m today and beat what looked like a strong field. We'll keep him over 1200m - 1400m, and I think we'll have more fun with hime. He has matured well, has shown good work this last month."
