1000m – Graduation Plate (F&M)
7 – Travelling Light
Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Serino Moodley
Wgt: 55.0kg
Draw: 5(7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 15/10
After that encouraging run on handicap debut last time, where she took another bump at the start and proceeded to race wide, she lands a slightly improved draw today. We believe this filly is well above average and from a handy position, if anything moves up to her in the latter stages, she should be classy enough to shake them off. We were going to give her a short break after that latest effort, but she is so well in herself, that it made sense to take advantage of her well-being here and we give her a good win chance.
Winning Form Comment: Drawn wide in eye-catching latest, on handicap debut. Respect.

1600m – MR 68 Handicap
4 – Lauren Of Rochelle
Trainer: Darryl Moore
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 11(12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He found little luck in running last time out, when having to switch at a crucial stage of the race. However, he was able to regain his momentum and ran on nicely. It is based on that effort that we have opted to go for the mile this time, but once again he has a tricky draw to negate. With that said, he has lost his early gate speed and will have to dropped out in any event. If settling well, there should be a decent gallop on and we expect him to run on nicely in the latter stages. He has a nice place chance if seeing out the trip.
Winning Form Comment: Must overcome tricky draw, but should enjoy the extra.
