Trainer: Alan Greeff
Jockey: Kendall Minnie
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 4 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 11/2
She is holding her form well and was not disgraced when fourth over this course and distance six weeks ago. The daughter of Canford Cliffs is doing well at home and jumps from a good draw of four. The stable are expecting another honest run and she should be right there at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:73. Consistent form. Not stable elect but don’t ignore.

Race 6 – 14:30
2000m – Racehorse Owners Association MR 80 Handicap
3 – El Rey Viene
Breeding: William Longsword – Brave Bid by Qui Danzig (USA)
Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 3 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He was disappointing over 1400m last time and the stable have opted to step him up to 2000m. We are hoping to see him race from a forward position as this is his preferred racing style. The son of William Longsword is fit and with the blinkers re-fitted, we are expecting to see a form return.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Howells D C-2024.05.19. 3rd run after rest. Blinkers ON. Best MR:86. Gets blinkers re-fitted. Watch.

Breeding: Querari (GER) – Eurythmics by Sail From Seattle (CAN)
Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: Luyolo Mxothwa
Wgt: 62.0kg
Draw: 4 (6 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 2/1
He returns to the Gavin Smith stable after three runs in KZN. He is doing well at home and comes into this race as the best-weighted runner. His last three victories have come under Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Luyolo Mxothwa. The son of Querari is the horse to beat.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Howells DC-2024.07.28. Best MR:118. Back in Gqeberha. Respect.

Trainer: Alan Greeff

He is doing well at home and will enjoy the return to the turf. It is a small but competitive field. Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Richard Fourie is booked to ride, and we are hoping to see him find the form of his penultimate run when winning over 1200m.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:97. Is held by number 4 on latest run. Chance on penultimate run.
