She ran a good race when second over this course and distance last time. She is doing very well at home, and the stable is happy with her. She does have an awkward draw to overcome, but with luck in running, we can expect another honest performance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:76. Has reached the frame in all 5 starts. Genuine chance.

Race 4 – 14:25
1600m – Jazz Syndicate C Stakes (F & M)
1 – Jou Lekker Ding
Breeding: Oratorio (IRE) – Miss Ipanema (AUS) by General Nediym (AUS)
Trainer: Vaughan Marshall
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 1 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
Her last two starts have been good. She has done extremely well at home since her last outing, and she is drawn in pole position. The daughter of Oratorio steps up to 1600m for the first time and if suited to the extra distance on offer, she should be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:85. Finished third behind subsequent winner last time. Should be a factor again.

Trainer: Lucinda Woodruff
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 5 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
The stable is very happy with him heading into this contest. He meets a small but competitive field. The son of Rafeef is ideally suited to this course and distance. His work has been good, and this will be a good test to see where he is now.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:103. Finished well over this distance last time. Respect.

Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – Front And Centre by Dynasty
Trainer: James Crawford

He returns from a 24-week break and his work at home has been good. Ridgemont-sponsored Jockey Richard Fourie steps into the saddle. If not in need of the outing, we can expect an honest showing.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 24 wks. Best MR:81. Reunites with Fourie. Can improve if fit.
