Race 1 – 12:30
1000m – Track And Ball Gaming Maiden Plate

4 – Inafix
Breeding: Lancaster Bomber (USA) – Inaninstant by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 4 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 15/10

He made the expected natural improvement when second in his last start over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course. The son of Lancaster Bomber is a progressive type and if suited to the polytrack surface, he can win.

Winning Form Comment: Made the expected natural improvement last time. Is the horse to beat.

Race 2 – 13:05
1000m – Catch KZN Live Racing via live streaming on www.galloptv.co.za MR 88 Handicap (F & M)

Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 1 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1

She won a game race in the Non-Black Type New Turf Carriers eThekwini Sprint last time. She is a filly that has plenty to offer. The only concern is that she may be at her best over further. She is doing well at home and from pole position, a big run is expected.

Winning Form Comment: Rested 13 wks. Best MR:88. Unbeaten in three starts on this course. Chance if fit.

Breeding: Lancaster Bomber (USA) – Tinder Box by Strike Smartly (CAN)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 6 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1

She is doing nicely at home and has come out of her last race incredibly well. The 1200m may have been a touch too far for her last time. The drop to 1000m will suit her well and she is capable of finishing in the first three.

Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:87. Is 3kgs better off at the weights with number 5 on latest. Respect.

Race 3 – 13:40
1400m – Follow In The Box Seat Podcast Maiden Plate

Trainer: Dean Kannemeyer
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 10 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1

He was badly in need of his last run over 1200m. The son of Querari will be much better suited to the 1400m trip. He is doing well at home and with a bit of luck from his wide draw of 10, we are looking to see improvement.

Winning Form Comment: Is held by number 11 on latest. Back up in trip and can show improvement.

Race 5 – 14:55
1600m – www.galloptv.co.za MR 94 Handicap

Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 2 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1

He is a horse that needs things to go his way in running and from barrier two, he should get a good run in transit. If ridden conservatively, he can see out the 1600m. We are hoping for a positive effort.

Winning Form Comment: Best MR:99. Is better than latest. Chance on penultimate run.

Race 6 – 15:30
1200m – TABGold Score6 Score10 MR 81 Handicap

Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 11 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1

He is a horse that is ready to win, but it will be no easy task from the widest draw. He has ability and his work has been good. With luck in running, he should run a positive race and he can finish in the money.

Winning Form Comment: Rested 13 wks. Best MR:81. Is held by number 7 on latest. Has the speed to overcome the widest draw.

Race 7 – 16:05

Breeding: Oasis Dream (GB) – Same Jurisdiction by Mambo In Seattle (USA)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 9 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1

He showed good improvement in his last start over this distance on the turf. He takes a drop-in class and he is doing well at home. His awkward draw of nine is an obvious concern and with luck in running, he should be in the firing line.

Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:79. Good improvement last time. Fourie rides.

Race 7 – 16:05
1400m – Gold Circle Racing Youtube Channel MR 64 Handicap

Breeding: William Longsword – Seattle Lady by Sail From Seattle (CAN)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Jabu Jacobs
Wgt: 55.5kg
Draw: 11 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1

He has been disappointing since winning his maiden and the stable are going to try him over the 1400m. He will have to be switched off near the rear of the field from his wide draw and we are hoping to see him running on. Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Jabu Jacobs is booked to ride and we are hoping for an improved effort.

Winning Form Comment: Best MR:73. Poor latest. Tries the 1400m and can show improvement.

Race 8 – 16:40

8 – Imperious Destiny
Breeding: Visionaire (USA) – Imperious Star by Navarone (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 8 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1

She is much better than her last start as the 1200m was too short for her. The daughter of Visionaire has won twice and finished second once from as many starts over this course and distance. She is fit, well and is expected to be competitive.

Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. Latest was over a distance short of her best. Chance on previous form.

Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 60.5kg
Draw: 9 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1

She is a filly that can come from off the pace over 1400m and her awkward draw of nine isn’t a big concern. She has had physio treatment and the stable have seen improvement. She is doing nicely, and improvement is expected from her.

Winning Form Comment: Rested 11 wks. Best MR:88. Loves this C&D. Chance if fit and well.
