He drops to 1900m after finishing fifth over 2200m last time. The stable has opted to put the blinkers back on. He is doing well at home and from a good draw of two, he should be involved at the finish.

Race 3 – 13:40
1000m – Fegen Agencies MR 80 Handicap
5 – Slash ‘ N Burn
Breeding: Mehmas (IRE) – Chevauchee (AUS) by High Chaparral (IRE)
Trainer: Alan Greeff
Jockey: Andrew Fortune
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 6 (6 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He is better than his last start over 1200m on this course. The son of Mehmas was knocking on the door prior to that outing. He drops to 1000m and meets a small field. If all goes according to plan, he should be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:79. Had excuses in latest. Fortune rides and his prior form reads well.

Race 4 – 14:15
1000m – World Sports Betting MR 86 Handicap (F & M)
7 – Sweet Julia
Breeding: What A Winter – All Mine by Var (USA)
Trainer: Dean Smith
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 55.0kg
Draw: 7 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
She won a good race over this course and distance last time. The daughter of What A Winter has come through that victory well and is in a good space. She does take on stronger but always gives her best and should produce another honest performance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:76. Runs well over this C&D. Won latest against weaker and the form line has been franked.

Race 6 – 15:25
1200m – Hopes And Dreams Stud Classified Stakes
2 – Eugenius
Breeding: Vercingetorix – Cockney Pride by Querari (GER)
Trainer: Juan Nel
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 8 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He has finished fifth in both his efforts after shedding his maiden tag over this course and distance. The obvious concern is his awkward draw of eight. SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Calvin Habib rides and with luck in running, he can finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:77. Meets number 1 on similar weight terms. Place chance.

Race 6 – 15:25
1200m – Hopes And Dreams Stud Classified Stakes
5 – Ayuwi Yuwi
Breeding: Captain Of All – Neurose (BRZ) by Dubai Dust (USA)
Trainer: Alan Greeff
Jockey: Andrew Fortune
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 1 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
Her last start over 1000m is best ignored as she was reported to be not striding out and coughing. Her two starts prior to that outing over this distance were good. She is doing well at home and from pole position, we can expect a much better run.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:83. Had excuses in latest. Steps back up to 1200m and cannot be discounted.

Race 6 – 15:25
1200m – Hopes And Dreams Stud Classified Stakes
7 – El Capitan
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Baqueira by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Cliffie Miller
Jockey: Marco van Rensburg
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 5 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He ran a good race when fourth over 1300m on this course last time. He is working very well at home, and the stable has opted to fit him with blinkers. It is a competitive field with numerous horses having decent winning chances. He is expected to run a good race and can finish in the first four.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Best MR:87. Fair recent form on this course. The blinkers should sharpen him up.

Race 7 – 16:05
1600m – Allied Steelrode Middle Stakes
3 – Ingqwele
Breeding: Fire Away (USA) – Dawn Calling by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Cliffie Miller
Jockey: Marco van Rensburg
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 1 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He is much better than his last start when behind Kleinzee. The son of Fire Away was victorious in his previous three efforts. He should get a good run in transit from pole position. This is his peak outing, and we can expect a good run from him.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:89. Better than latest. Can return to winning ways.

Race 8 – 16:40
1600m – Hollywood Foundation MR 70 Handicap
6 – Sabrage
Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Cuvee Brut by Count Dubois (GB)
Trainer: Cliffie Miller
Jockey: Kyle Strydom
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 13 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He was an easy winner when shedding his maiden tag over this course and distance. The son of Canford Cliffs has come through that run well and is in a good space. The obvious concern is the widest draw and with luck in running, he can finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:68. Cruised in last time. First run out the maidens and is drawn widest of all.
