Race 4 – 12:00 (SA Time)
1400m – The Blue Marlin Trophy (Benchmark 56)

5 – Isikwishikwishi
Trainer: Jevin Awotar
Jockey: Grant van Niekerk
Breeding: Alado (GB) – Varifast by Var (USA)
Weight: 58.0kg
Draw: 1 (6 runners)
Predicted Betting: 9/2
He finished third over this course and distance, four weeks ago. Salt ‘n Peppa from the Carl Hewitson stable is the horse to beat as he is a winner of his last two starts. The son of Alado is having his peak run and from pole position, he should run a big race.

Predicted Betting: 18/10
He was victorious in his last start over this track and trip giving Hollywood Racing their first winner in Mauritius. The son of Heavenly Blue takes a slight rise in class, but he is in a good space. He is ideally drawn in Barrier Three and we are hoping to see him follow up with another victory.
