Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: Stallone Naidoo
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 9 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
She needed her debut effort over this distance on the polytrack. She put up a good gallop last week and she has come on since. If not too green in her first run on the turf, she should produce a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: Sister to: CRUISE CONTROL6g(28:13, 6). Can improve on first run. Watch.

Jockey: Xolani Ndlovu
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 11 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
She showed good speed when winning her last start over this course and distance. The daughter of Rafeef is holding her form well and she is in a good space. She does take a step up in class, but another honest run is expected.

Breeding: Pomodoro – Konfessional by Kahal (GB)
Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: *Bavish Soodoo -4.0kg
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 5 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
She needed her comeback run over 1000m on the polytrack. The daughter of Pomodoro is doing nicely at home and she will enjoy the step up to 1200m on the turf. She gets the services of 4kgs claiming Apprentice Bavish Soodoo and a much better effort is expected.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:80. Has claims if finding form of penultimate run.

Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Baqueira by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Alan Greeff
Jockey: Kendall Minnie
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 2 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He is much better than his last start as he returned to the stables coughing. He is doing well in the lead up to this race and has been putting up nice work. It is a competitive field with numerous horses having decent winning chances. Kendall Minnie rides and we are hoping to see him return to best form.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:116. Better than latest. Would not be a shock winner.

Race 6 – 15:25
1000m – Speedsters Stakes (Non-Black Type)
8 – Song Of Myself
Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Leaves Of Grass (AUS) by Poet’s Voice (GB)
Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: Yuzae Ramzan
Wgt: 51.5kg
Draw: 5 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
She won a game race over 1200m on the polytrack last time. The daughter of Canford Cliffs takes on stronger, but she is in a great space and carries a light mass of 51.5kgs. Yuzae Ramzan is booked to ride and we are expecting a big effort from her.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:89. Won latest and Dubai Hills has given the form line a boost. Light mass will help.
