Jockey: *Siphesihle Hlengwa
Wgt: 52.5kg
Draw: 9 (13 Runners)

He was in need of his comeback run over 1600m last time. There has been a lot of rain which has affected the training tracks. He does take on stronger but carries a handy galloping mass of 52.5kgs. We are hoping for a positive run.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:72. Comes in with a light weight and has claims if repeating good penultimate run.

Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 8 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He is having his first run out of the maidens. There has been quite a lot of rain and the stable have not been able to do proper work with him. However, he is racing fit and he has been doing work on the treadmill in the afternoons. He is in good order and we can look forward to a very positive showing.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2023.09.05. Best MR:86. First run out of the maidens. Is progressive and can go close.

Race 5 – 14:40
2000m – Call Telebet Track & Ball Fixed Odds On 031 314 1155 MR 67 Handicap (F & M)
9 – Fashionigma
Breeding: Master Of My Fate – All About Style (IRE) by Hawk Wing (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 55.5kg
Draw: 9 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
She had to overcome the widest draw over 1900m last time and had too much to do in the straight. The daughter of Master Of My Fate is fit and well heading into this race. It is a smaller field and if not too far out of her ground turning for home, she can finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:80. Fair latest from a wide draw. Big chance if repeating penultimate run.

Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 8 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He has come on since his encouraging stable debut over a distance short of his best. He is doing well at home and is in a good space. With luck from his awkward draw of eight, he is expected to be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Muscutt P B-2023.04.22. 2nd run after rest. Best MR:101. Needed latest run over shorter. Chance.
