Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Royal Blue by Dynasty
Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 4 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
Debut run. She is showing nice work at home but is the type of filly that is expected to be green in running. The daughter of Canford Cliffs is capable of finishing in the money, but this outing will bring her on for future races.

Jockey: Xolani Ndlovu
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 7 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
She has relocated to the Eastern Cape and is having her first run for the Alan Greeff stable. It is a competitive field and she has work to do at the weights. She is doing nicely at home. Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Xolani Ndlovu is booked to ride and we are hoping for a positive effort.

Trainer: Alan Greeff
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 3 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
She won a good race over 1600m on the polytrack last time. She returns from a well-deserved 11-week break and races on the turf. The daughter of Canford Cliffs is doing well at home and if all goes according to plan, she can finish in the money.

Race 8 – 16:05
1400m – Engen Oil Centre PE Conditions Plate (F & M)
6 – Concerto
Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Casadesus (AUS) by High Chaparral (IRE)
Trainer: Alan Greeff
Jockey: Xolani Ndlovu
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 8 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
She finished second over 1600m on the polytrack last time. The daughter of Canford Cliffs won her only attempt over this course and distance. She does carry a handy galloping weight of 54kgs and if all goes well in running, she should be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:77. Finished close-up on poly last time. Won only C&D attempt.

Race 9 – 16:40
1400m – Metalman MR 80 Handicap
3 – Igugulethu
Breeding: Erupt (IRE) – Divine Inspiration (USA) by Medaglia D’Oro (USA)
Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 60.5kg
Draw: 10 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 2/1
He is holding his form nicely and stayed on to finish third over this course and distance last time. The obvious concern is his wide draw of 10, but Craig Zackey knows him well and will give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle. He is doing well at home and with luck in running, he should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:85. Good form over this C&D. Is always competitive in this grade.
