Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa

He returns from an 11-week break. He drops to 1600m and the blinkers are fitted which will sharpen him up. He is a horse that prefers further, and this outing will bring him on nicely for future races.

She has come on leaps and bounds since her first run for the Trevor Brown stable. This will be her first run on the polytrack and Trevor is very happy with her work. The daughter of William Longsword is ideally drawn in barrier two and a big run is expected.

Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 7 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He has come on from his last outing, he is in a very good space and is absolutely flying in his work at home. He has shown that the polytrack is not an issue as he finished second in his only attempt over this course and distance. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale rides and with a bit of luck, he should take a power of beating.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:92. Cost himself at the start last time. Go close.

She appears to have taken good natural improvement from her encouraging first up run over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. She is well drawn in barrier three with Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale booked to ride. The daughter of What A Winter should get a good run in transit and she is expected to be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:84. Encouraging comeback run after a long break. Respect.
