2000m – Track And Ball Gaming MR 75 Handicap
11 – Eventidor
Breeding: Elusive Fort – Early Spring by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 11 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He showed good signs of a form return in his last start over 1700m on this course. He is doing well at home, but the obvious concern is his wide draw of eleven. With luck in running, he can fight out the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:78. Finished close-up in latest. All three wins have been achieved on this course.

Race 7 – 16:10
1200m – Online Form Guide www.gallop.co.za MR 76 Handicap
1 – Purple Powahouse
Breeding: What A Winter – Clarion Call by Kabool (GB)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Muzi Yeni
Wgt: 53.0kg
Draw: 1 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He ran a good race when second over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He is fit and well heading into this contest. The son of What A Winter does meet stronger company, but he jumps from pole position and the stable feel that he can run into the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:77. Not far off the winner in last two runs. Can make his presence felt.

3 – Purple Operator
Breeding: Captain Of All – House Of Lorraine by Dynasty
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 3 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He is better than his last start suggests as he raced wide around the turn and understandably lacked a finish in the straight. He is ideally course and distance suited. The son of Captain Of All is knocking on the door and he has a first three chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:79. Likes this C&D and has been knocking on the door. Chance.

Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 5 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He has produced four moderate efforts since his last victory. The stable feel that the 1200m is his best distance. He is doing well at home and jumps from a handy draw of five. Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa is booked to ride and a positive run is expected.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 10 wks. Best MR:72. Will appreciate the step up in distance. Can show.

Breeding: William Longsword – Seattle Lady by Sail From Seattle (CAN)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Cole Dicken
Wgt: 53.0kg
Draw: 4 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He has been doing well at home, but the stable has not got a lot of work into him with all the rain and waterlogged tracks. He jumps from a handy draw of four and we are hoping for a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:73. Fair latest. Best form has been on this course and can show.
