Breeding: Oasis Dream (GB) – Same Jurisdiction by Mambo In Seattle (USA)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 2 (9 Runners)

His last run over 2300m was too far for him and the stable have opted to drop him back to 2000m. He is working nicely and is in a good space heading into this contest. Calvin Habib retains the ride and from his good draw of two, he is expected to be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:79. Is weighted to finish closer to number 1 on latest. Merits respect.

Trainer: Mike de Kock

Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 5 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 15/10
He ran a good race when third in his first run as a gelding. He has taken that run well and he has come on from the outing. He should have no issues racing on the polytrack surface. Muzi Yeni retains the ride, and he is expected to be a huge runner.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Gelded 2024.07.24. Best MR:84. Good first run as a gelding. Trainer’s only runner today.

Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Cole Dicken

Draw: 7 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He is better than his last two starts. His work at home has improved and his coat looks much better than it did in the winter. Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Cole Dicken rides and if all goes according to plan, he should earn a cheque.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. Is suited to this C&D. Can feature if finding best form.

Race 8 – 16:35
1200m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future MR 74 Handicap
8 – Stars In Heaven
Breeding: Danon Platina (JPN) – Star Evolution by Var (USA)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Marco van Rensburg
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 8 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He has shown signs of a form return in his last two starts in KZN. The son of Danon Platina should be ideally suited to this course and distance. He is doing well at home and is in good order. With a bit of luck from his awkward draw of eight, he should be in the money.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:85. Decent latest. Has peak run and should be cherry-ripe.
