Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 1 (10 Runners)

He is doing well at home and has drawn well. However, he carries a big weight so the stable have elected to use Apprentice Qiniso Ngcobo who claims a handy 4.0kg. He could finish in the money.

Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 8 (10 Runners)

He drops back in distance to a mile which looks his right trip judging on his maiden success over course and distance. However, he returns from a break and will be in need of the run.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 16 wks. Best MR:75. Has been rested since poor latest run. Won maiden over this C&D and can improve.

Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 9 (10 Runners)

She’s coming off a slight rest but has been working well and should be fit enough to run nicely. We’ll be holding thumbs for a big run from the filly in a competitive field.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:74. Placed in all three post maiden runs. Lerena may be able to get the best out of her.
