5 – Willow Creek
Breeding: What A Winter – Wind Chill by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Louis Goosen
Jockey: Jason Gates
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 5 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
She is returning from an 18-week break and this is her first run for the Syndicate. She is a small filly that has been given time. The daughter of What A Winter will be better suited to further and this outing will bring her on nicely.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Janse van Vuuren J-2022.11.30. Rested 18 wks. Has changed stables since debut experience. Should improve.

8 – Jade’s Caberneigh
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Jade Vine by Argonaut
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 8 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
She is drawn widest of all in barrier eight, but she does have very good gate speed which will assist her in getting across without using up too much energy. Her work has been solid and she has strengthened up since her last run. The polytrack should suit her well and she is expected to be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: Drops back to minimum trip and must be considered with De Melo in the irons.

Race 3 – 13:25
1400m – TabGold Card Call MR 88 Handicap (F & M)
7 – Purple Nkanyezi
Breeding: Oratorio (IRE) – Bois De Boulogne by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Serino Moodley
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 7 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
She was doing her best work late when third over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. She will enjoy the return to 1400m, but is drawn awkwardly in barrier seven. This is a competitive field and she is capable of finishing in the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:92. Fair latest in yielding conditions. Steps up in trip and can feature.

Race 5 – 14:35
1400m – Soccer Any15 MR 77 Handicap
9 – BlackWhiteDynamite
Breeding: What A Winter – Butterfly Girl by Jet Master
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Tristan Godden
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 9 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He returns from an 11-week break over 1400m and he is moving very well at the moment. He does have an awkward draw of nine, but it is not a major factor with him as he is better ridden from off the pace. With a repeat of his last couple of runs where he has been charging late, he is expected to be involved in the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 11 wks. Best MR:78. Is 1kg better off at the weights with number 5 on latest. Chance if fit.

Race 6 – 15:10
1200m – Track & Ball Gaming Classified Stakes
1 – Purple Operator
Breeding: Captain Of All – House Of Lorraine by Dynasty
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 1 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He is very well in himself and has drawn pole position. His last run over 1000m on the turf was too short for him, but he was running on strongly. He is in very good condition and is more than capable of finishing in the first three.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:79. Followed up recent win with a fair effort. Likes C&D and chance from pole.

Race 6 – 15:10
1200m – Track & Ball Gaming Classified Stakes
4 – Hope Is Power
Breeding: Soft Falling Rain – Sarasota by Kahal (GB)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: *Rachel Venniker -1.5kg
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 4 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He produced a good effort over this distance on the turf last time and is in a good space heading into this contest. He finished third in his only attempt over this course and distance. The stable feel that he has a good each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:89. Close-up behind subsequent winner in latest and should be cherry-ripe.

4 – High Moon
Breeding: Silvano (GER) – Makiwara (USA) by Smart Strike (CAN)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Chase Maujean
Wgt: 60.5kg
Draw: 4 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
His form prior to the 17-week break was consistent. He is fit and well heading into this race. The son of Silvano jumps from a good draw of four and if not in need of the run, he should finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 17 wks. Best MR:81. Ultra-consistent sort. Has placed in all three runs on this course.

Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Tristan Godden
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 6 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
His last three starts have been fair. The son of Global View is course and distance suited. Sporting Post-sponsored jockey Tristan Godden retains the ride and he should finish in the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. Has fair recent form lines to his credit. Won only C&D attempt.

9 – Flying Grace
Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Sacred Hills by Kildonan
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 9 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
He showed some improvement in his last start over 1450m on the Vaal Classic course. He does step up to 1700m and the blinkers will be removed for this outing. With a bit of luck in running, we are hoping to see him return to best form.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:80. Brings moderate Gauteng form lines and continues to drop in the ratings.
