Trainer: Dean Smith
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 5 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
She returns from a 19-week break after winning the Non-Black Type Speedsters Stakes last time. The daughter of Canford Cliffs had a gallop last week and she took it well. This is the right type of race for her, and she is expected to produce a big effort.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 19 wks. Best MR:95. Cruised in last time. Races well fresh and goes for hat-trick.

Race 6 – 14:50
1600m – TAB 4Racing App Classified Stakes
2 – Asinantanga
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Zante by Ideal World (USA)
Trainer: Dean Smith
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 60.5kg
Draw: 10 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He returns from a 12-week break and is doing very well at home. He does have a wide draw to overcome, but if getting away on terms, he should not be too far off the leaders turning for home. Craig Zackey rides and he is expected to finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 12 wks. Best MR:77. Blew the start last time. Chance if jumping on terms.

Race 8 – 16:00
1600m – Racing240 MR 68 Handicap
5 – Cheerful Charlie B
Breeding: Lancaster Bomber (USA) – Wild Date by Judpot (USA)
Trainer: Cliffie Miller
Jockey: Marco van Rensburg
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 9 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He is much better than his last start on the polytrack. The son of Lancaster Bomber returns to his favourite surface, and he has been working well. With a bit of luck from his awkward draw of nine, he is expected to run a much better race.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. Better than latest. Back on turf and must be considered for quartets.
