Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 1 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She won a gutsy race in her last start over 1000m on this course. The handicapper was harsh on her for that victory. The daughter of William Longsword is in good order and will appreciate the extra 100m on offer. She is expected to be competitive once again.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:90. Showed good pace in recent win and the form line has been franked.

Trainer: Stuart Ferrie
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 9 (16 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He is having his first run for the Stuart Ferrie stable in KZN. The son of Canford Cliffs has done very well since relocating. He is ideally at his best over further and this outing will bring him on nicely. However, he is expected to run a good race and can finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Crawford B-2024.11.16. Gelded 2024.01.31. Best MR:84. First run in KZN. Can improve.

Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 11 (16 Runners)

He is making progress and is moving well heading into this race. He steps back up to 1200m and we are hoping that he doesn’t do too much in the early stages. Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa is booked to ride and he can finish in the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:81. Some fair form. Can run into the placings.

Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Sean Veale

Breeding: What A Winter – Orchid Island by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Mike de Kock
Jockey: Muzi Yeni
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 2 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He was disappointing over this course and distance last week Sunday. The stable have opted to fit him with blinkers which will keep his mind on the task at hand. Muzi Yeni retains the ride and if putting his best foot forward, he should run a big race.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Best MR:82. Not too consistent but has a say. Blinker strike.

Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 11 (16 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1

Winning Form Comment: Best MR:80. Moderate form since back-to-back wins. Watch.
