Friday 26th October 2018
Greyville Polytrack
Race 2 – 17:55
1400m – Maiden Plate
2 – Alphamikefoxtrot
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Kabelo Matsuyane (-4kg)*
Wgt: 60kg
Draw: 3(13)
Odds: 5/1
He has been a consistent performer of late, but clearly needs everything to be in his favour if he is going to break the maidens. He has finally drawn well in a 1400m and we think this is his best chance to date, to put the maidens behind him. He probably has the favourite (Good Rhythm) to beat, but with the 4kg advantage, we feel that we will be challenging them strongly late on. Good place chance and include in Exactas.
Winningform Comment: Improved last run with this appie, go close.

Race 4 – 19:05
1600m – MR 64 Handicap
8 – Whiteleaf Hills
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Kabelo Matsuyane (-3kg)
Wgt: 54kg
Odds: 12/1
We have struggled to get a draw with this horse, so have decided to take our chances in this handicap over a mile. It will more than likely be on the sharp side for him, but he jumps from a good draw and he has been doing well at home. This run will give us a good indicator of where he currently is in terms of his well being and he has dropped significantly in the ratings. Punters will be inclined to follow him over a bit more ground.
Winningform Comment: Bottom weight with the apprentice up, trainer raids with purpose and could be upset potential.
