Jockey: S’manga Khumalo
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 7 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
We have been battling to get good draws over his preferred distance of 1200m. He is very well in himself and his work has been good. He has won over 1000m in the past and if the race is run to suit him, he is capable of finishing in the first four.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:79. Had excuses in latest. Performs well for Khumalo and can run into the money.

He does take a step up in class and meets a competitive field. However, Serino Moodley knows him well and he carries a handy galloping mass of 53.5kgs. Another honest effort is expected.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:87. Decent latest against weaker and the form line has worked out well.

She drops to the 1100m as there are no races for her over her preferred distance. She didn’t enjoy racing on the turf last time and returns to her favourite surface. We are hoping to see a form return from her.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:77. Has peak run. Chance on best form shown.
