Race 2 – 12:50
2000m – Betway Open Maiden (F & M)
1 – Burning Desire
Breeding: Potala Palace – Icy Fire by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Juan Nel
Jockey: Callan Murray
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 7 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 16/10
She is working well at home in the lead up to this race. She tries 2000m for the first time, but the slight concern is the weight she must concede in this maiden. It is not the strongest of fields and she should give a good account of herself.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:70. Consistent recent form. Finished second in latest and the blinkers remain fitted.

2 – Monkey’s Wedding
Breeding: Hawwaam – Promise Of Rain by Dynasty
Trainer: Juan Nel
Jockey: Chad Little
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 7 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He is looking well at home and maintaining consistent form at the track. He meets the right field here and the stable are hoping he can shed his maiden tag.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. Decent latest when behind Number 1. Obvious danger.

6 – Hot Blooded
Breeding: Trippi (USA) – King’s Temptress by King Of Kings (IRE)
Trainer: Cliffie Miller
Jockey: Callan Murray
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 6 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
He ran a really good second to an odds-on favourite over the course and distance earlier this month, finishing well clear of the third-placed runner. That was his first run in the province and his work at home since has been good. The stable are expecting another big run. He has a winning chance.
Winning Form Comment: Ex De Kock MF-2026.07.22. Found one better in local debut.

Wgt: 53.0kg
Draw: 3 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
She carries a low weight in this contest with Jockey Chase Maujean taking the ride. The stable are happy with her work, and at the weights, she should run a good race.
