Marshall reverts to 1200m in Race 7 at the Vaal today and that could be just the medicine needed to get him back on track.

This three-year-old son of Vercingeto­rix is highly regarded by trainer Mike de Kock and is one of jockey Callan Murray's favourite horses.

He won his first two races with ease and was then sent out favourite for the Grade 2 Dingaans over 1600m at Turffontei­n. He suffered an injury during the running and was given a break in which he was gelded. He went on to win his comeback race over 1450m but then was surprising­ly beaten over 1600m when he cruised up to leaders 300m from home before running out of steam and finishing third, and then ran unplaced in the Grade 1 SA Classic over 1800m from a wide draw.

His last outing was over 1600m in a MR 109 Handicap where he led 400m out and once again was caught close home.
