Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 2 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
She was fitted with the blinkers in her last start, and she produced a very good effort, finishing second. She is doing nicely at home and if the 1600m is not too short for her, she will go close to winning.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:76. Just pipped in latest under Matsunyane. Big chance.

Race 4 – 14:25
1600m – www.tabgold.co.za MR 65 Handicap (F & M)
7 – Chelsea Blue
Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – African Lily by Horse Chestnut
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 7 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
She produced a decent effort with the tongue-tie fitted last time and she was unlucky not to have finished closer that day. She is very well in herself and if ridden conservatively, she can run into the first four.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:69. Finished second in only attempt over a mile and chance with luck in running.

Race 5 – 15:00
1600m – Soccer Any15 MR 78 Handicap
7 – Ibutho
Breeding: Duke Of Marmalade (IRE) – Stormin Cat by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: *Rachel Venniker -1.5kg
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 7 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
The race didn’t work out for him last time and he is better than the run suggests. The son of Duke Of Marmalade is very well in himself, and he will benefit from the 1.5kgs claim from Rachel Venniker. A good run is expected, and he has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. Excuses in latest. Enjoys this C&D and can return to best form.

1400m – Gold Circle Racing Youtube Channel MR 88 Handicap
6 – Dockofthebay
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Sausalito Bay by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Michael Roberts
Jockey: *Rachel Venniker -1.5kg
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 6 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
He has dropped a few points in the ratings and steps up to 1400m which will suit him well. He has done well at home since his last run and Rachel Venniker will take the 1.5kgs off his back. Improvement is expected and he can finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:97. Moderate latest. Will enjoy the rise to 1400m and can improve.

7 – Bowie
Breeding: Twice Over (GB) – Super Model by National Assembly (CAN)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: *Nirvan Nastili -4.0kg
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 7 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He takes a drop-in class and there is more to come from him. He is in a good space and is doing well at home. We are hoping that the 4kgs claiming apprentice will assist him and if all goes according to plan, he is expected to be very competitive.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:99. Beaten just under a length in latest. Appie claim will help.

Breeding: Captain Of All – House Of Lorraine by Dynasty
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 7 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He is very well in himself and is holding his form nicely. He meets a competitive field, and he always needs luck in running. If things go his way, he is more than capable of finishing in the first three.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:79. The 3rd horse in latest has come out and franked the form.
