He moved up like a winner in his last start over this course and distance. He takes a drop-in class and Richard Fourie steps back into the saddle. From his good draw of four, he has a big winning chance.

She has been disappointing in her last three starts. The daughter of Querari gets the blinkers fitted for this outing and we are hoping to see improvement.

Jockey: Luyolo Mxothwa
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 2 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He is doing very well at home and gets the services of Luyolo Mxothwa. He jumps from a good draw of two and if finding the form of his penultimate run, he should have an each way chance.

Race 5 – 15:05
1200m – Racehorse Owners Association Classified Stakes (F & M)

Breeding: Visionaire (USA) – Trojan Belle by Centenary (USA)
Trainer: Juan Nel
Jockey: Mpumelelo Mjoka
Wgt: 52.0kg
Draw: 11 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
She showed good improvement in her last start over 1300m on this course. She has re-passed through the starting stalls at home and we are hoping that she loads on race day. Her work has been good and if bringing it to the racecourse, she can run into the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers OFF. Best MR:87. Improved last run and the form line has been franked. Chance if confirms.
