Wgt: 55.5kg
Draw: 1 (10 Runners)

3 – Isivivane
Breeding: Erupt (IRE) – Rodeo Sioux by Casey Tibbs (IRE)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Ryan Munger
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 3 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He returns from a lengthy 50-week break and he jumps from a favourable draw of three. The stable are very happy with his work and he appears forward enough to do himself justice. The conditions of the race do not suit him. However, he appears to be above average and a positive run is expected.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 50 wks. Gelded 2024.06.18. Won maiden at the second time of asking. Would have strengthened up during the break.

Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 56.5kg

Winning Form Comment: Ex Smith GD-2024.10.04. 3rd run after rest. Blinkers ON. Best MR:100. Moderate recent form. Can improve.

Trainer: Mike and Mathew de Kock
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 6 (10 Runners)

He has good consistent form lines to his credit and is working very well in the lead up to this race. He has won three times, finished second twice and third once from as many starts over this distance. Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Kabelo Matsunyane steps back into the saddle and he has a good each way chance.

Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: Serino Moodley
Wgt: 62.5kg
Draw: 7 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1

Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:80. Has dropped steadily in the ratings. Watch.
