Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Wrecking Ball by Great Britain (GB)
Trainer: Alan Greeff

She finished behind Sweet Julia when third over 1000m on this track last time. She won her penultimate run over this course and distance with ease. The daughter of Rafeef is working nicely and with Ridgemont-sponsored Jockey Richard Fourie back in the saddle, she is a huge runner.

5 – Sweet Julia
Breeding: What A Winter – All Mine by Var (USA)
Trainer: Gavin Smith
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 9 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 2/1
She has finished second in both her starts since relocating to the Eastern Cape. She is doing very well at home and her work has been good. The obvious concern is her awkward draw of nine and with luck in running, she should go close to winning.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Wright AJ-2025.02.07. 3rd run after rest. Best MR:72. Two good runs on this course. Can go one better.

Winning Form Comment: Ex Roberts ML-2025.05.24. 2nd run after rest. Best MR:84. Makes stable debut and can show good improvement.
