Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 9 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
She needed her comeback run over 1300m on this course last time. She has come on nicely since that outing and is doing well in the lead up to this race. The daughter of Gold Standard gets the services of 4kgs claiming Apprentice Blaine Marx-Jacobson. The 1200m may be on the sharp side but she has pace and a good run is expected.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:73. Finished behind number 1 last time. Place chance.

Draw: 9 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He is having his first run in the Eastern Cape for Trainer Cliffie Miller. This race was meant to be run on turf but changed to the polytrack. He is working very well at home, and the stable is expecting a nice run from him. With a bit of luck from the widest draw, he can improve to finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Ex De Kock MF-2025.12.05. Best MR:84. First run for Miller camp. Watch.

He stayed on when second over this course and distance last time. The son of Vercingetorix is doing very well at home and jumps from pole position. Marco van Rensburg steps back into the saddle and he can go one better.
