1200m – Global Team Horse Racing MR 93 Handicap (F & M)
2 – Sashay Away
Breeding: Var (USA) – Rockaberry Lane by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Raymond Danielson
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 2 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
She produced a very good final workout and she is in great order heading into this race. The switch back to 1200m against the males in her last start was a good effort. She will enjoy the return to Hollywoodbets Greyville and she is ideally drawn in barrier two. She has to be considered as one of the leading contenders.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:93. Fair last two starts. Is a versatile filly and must be respected.

Race 3 – 18:45
1200m – Global Team Horse Racing MR 93 Handicap (F & M)
3 – Purple Nkanyezi
Breeding: Oratorio (IRE) – Bois De Boulogne by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: *Joshwin Solomons
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 3 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She is at her best when racing on the polytrack, but in this type of field the stable have opted to take their chances. The daughter of Oratorio is doing well at home and jumps from a handy draw of three. Joshwin Solomons is booked to ride and she should have an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:92. Moderate latest from a wide draw. May prefer the polytrack but don’t ignore.

Jockey: *Rachel Venniker -1.5kg
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 4 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
She is enjoying her time in Durban and her work has been good. She has run well at Hollywoodbets Greyville previously. She would prefer futher, but is expected to run a good race and she can run into the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 10 wks. Best MR:103. The break may have done her the world of good. Drops in trip and can show.

Breeding: Querari (GER) – Blizzard Belle by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Sean Tarry
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Wgt: 55.0kg
Draw: 5 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
Her last two starts have been fair. She is at her best over 1000m and this distance may be a touch too far for her. This run will maintain her fitness and it will bring her on for future races.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:98. Fair last two runs over the minimum trip. Should be cherry-ripe.

Predicted Betting: 7/1
He jumps from draw five with Khanya Sakayi in the irons. He is coming off a good third-place finish over 1400m last time. It is a small field which is an advantage and he is capable of a first three finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:87. Decent latest and the form line has been franked. Has obvious claims.
