She is doing extremely well at home and is having her first outing on the polytrack. She galloped on the surface last week and the stable was happy with her work. SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Calvin Habib retains the ride, and she is expected to go close to winning.
Winning Form Comment: Beaten narrowly in second run. Further natural progress should win this.

Debut run. The son of Rafeef jumps from a good draw of three and Kendall Minnie is booked to ride. He may be green in running and this outing will bring him on for future races. We are hoping to see him running on.

Race 7 – 16:02
1400m – TAB 4Racing App MR 96 Handicap
5 – Champonelle
Breeding: Querari (GER) – Varsity Belle by Var (USA)
Trainer: Cliffie Miller
Jockey: Marco van Rensburg
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 6 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He was a tad disappointing in his last two runs in the Non-Black Type Nelson Mandela Bay Racing East Cape Poly Challenge. The stable feels that he is back to his best at home and we are expecting a very good run from him. Marco van Rensburg knows him well and the combination should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:90. Two-time winner from 3 starts over this C&D. Has a shout.
