Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Billy Jacobson
Wgt: 60.5kg
Draw: 10 (12 Runners)

He is a horse that doesn’t show much at home. He will enjoy the return to the polytrack and with a bit of luck in running, we are hoping to see improvement.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Naidoo K-2023.01.30. Best MR:69. Better when dictates matters. Won only C&D attempt.

1900m – TabGold Score6 Score10 MR 72 Handicap (F & M)

Breeding: Pathfork (USA) – Stargazer Pink by Jallad (USA)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Cole Dicken
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 10 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
She is better than her last run suggests as they went a slow pace which didn’t suit her well. We are hoping that there is a decent tempo this time round and with a bit of luck in running, she is capable of finishing in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:76. Is 2.5kgs better off with number 12 on penultimate run. Consider.

2 – Dontshootthebarman
Breeding: Visionaire (USA) – Aquila Jet by Jet Master
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 60.5kg
Draw: 2 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He has been disappointing since winning his maiden over this course and distance. The son of Visionaire jumps from a good draw of two and the blinkers will be fitted. He has ability and if putting his mind on the task at hand, he should run a positive race.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:79. Has found it tough since maiden win. Is back on poly and can show improvement.

9 – Magwinya
Breeding: William Longsword – Seattle Lady by Sail From Seattle (CAN)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Cole Dicken
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 9 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
The 1200m proved to be too far for him last time and he drops back to the 1000m. The obvious concerns are his awkward draw of nine and he carries a big mass of 61kgs. We are hoping for a positive run.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:73. Has good gate speed. Drops back to 1000m and can improve on recent form.

Race 7 – 15:45
1200m – Greyville Convention Centre MR 75 Handicap (F & M)
6 – Kingsmeads Krystl
Breeding: Visionaire (USA) – Berlinetta by Jet Master
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 6 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
She has been inconsistent, but her last run is better than what it reads on paper. She had to overcome a wide draw and finished off her race nicely. She is working well and is in a good space. If reproducing her best form, she is capable of causing an upset.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:81. Has dropped to a competitive rating and reunites with Mgudlwa. Can improve.

Race 8 – 16:25
1700m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future MR 84 Handicap
3 – SyX Hotfix
Breeding: Flower Alley (USA) – Kiss For Kate by Jallad (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 3 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He had a virus and returns from a 12-week break. Keagan de Melo is booked to ride and he jumps from a good draw of three. The stable feel that he will need this run and it will bring him on for future races.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 12 wks. Best MR:82. Returns from a break. Won only C&D attempt and chance on best form shown.
