Draw: 4 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 1/1
She has produced two decent efforts over 1200m on the turf. This is her first run on the polytrack and she will enjoy the step up to 1400m. The daughter of Visionaire is a temperamental filly and if behaving herself on raceday, she should be fighting out the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Sister to:IMPERIOUS DUKE6g(26: 3, 6),CELESTIAL PRINCE7g(24: 2, 5). Close-up in both starts and can shed maiden tag.

His last two runs have been below-par, but he is back on the polytrack which we feel he prefers. He jumps from a handy draw of three and we are expecting a much better run from him.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:82. Better than last two starts. Won only C&D attempt and can improve.

He won a good race in his last start over this course and distance. He is doing well at home and is showing good work. If everything goes according to plan, he should run another good race with an each way chance.

Trainer: Dean Kannemeyer
Jockey: Muzi Yeni
Wgt: 55.0kg
Draw: 10 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 12/1
He ran a much better race in his last start over 1400m. The son of Ideal World drops back to the 1200m and he will be ridden from off the pace. He has come on from his last outing and is fit heading into this race. Muzi Yeni takes the ride and if reproducing his last start, he should be right there.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. Decent latest. Yeni takes the ride and can run into the money.

Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Sacred Hills by Kildonan
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 8 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He was disappointing in his last start after an encouraging penultimate run over 1700m. He has an awkward draw of eight and we are hoping that he produces his best form under Winning Form-sponsored jockey Kabelo Matsunyane.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:80. The form of his penultimate run catches the eye. Chance.

Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 1 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
She is a filly who has plenty of scope and she is doing well. The daughter of William Longsword jumps from pole position and the stable are expecting a bold showing from her. She should be involved in the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:75. Good second-place finish in latest and the form line has been franked. Consider.

Race 8 – 16:10
1100m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future MR 73 Handicap (F & M)
10 – Shanta’s Pride
Breeding: William Longsword – Cassie O’Malley by Jet Master
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 10 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
She has progressed very nicely since her first up run where she certainly needed the outing. Her work has been pleasing heading into this race. She is drawn wide in barrier 10, but should use her early gate speed to get across without using up too much energy. We can look forward to a much improved performance from her.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:76. Needed comeback run. Placed in only attempt on this course and can improve.
