Race 1 – 11:40
1000m – WSB Welcomes You Juvenile Plate
9 – Simbine – SCRATCHED (Abnormal Blood Count)
Breeding: What A Winter – First Whistle by Whistling Wood
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 9 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He ran a good race when second over this distance at Turffontein last time. The son of What A Winter is doing well at home. SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Calvin Habib retains the ride and with luck from the widest draw, he should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Ran second on the Highveld last time. Respect.

Race 5 – 13:58
1400m – WSB Play with the Best Middle Stakes (F & M)
3 – Khethiwe’s Destiny
Breeding: Buffalo Bill Cody (IRE) – Gimmethemoney by Gimmethegreenlight (AUS)
Trainer: Mike de Kock/Mathew de Kock
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 3 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She has come out of her last run well. She had to overcome the widest draw of 12 which was a big disadvantage. The daughter of Buffalo Bill Cody will enjoy the rise to 1400m, and she jumps from a good draw of three. She is expected to run well and should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:102. Decent last effort from a wide draw. Chance.

Race 6 – 14:33
1000m – KRA Cup
2 – Luhamba Phambili
Breeding: Danon Platina (JPN) – Simply Royal by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 55.5kg
Draw: 2 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He is doing well at home and is in a good space. He will enjoy racing over this course and distance. It is a competitive field, but he is expected to put his best foot forward. He jumps from a handy draw of two which should allow him to get a good run in transit.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:105. Finished close-up in a Listed event last time. Respect.

Race 6 – 14:33
1000m – KRA Cup
7 – Ziyasha
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Kelly’s Olympics (USA) by Kingmambo (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Raymond Danielson
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 7 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He returns from a 24-week break after winning the Non-Black Type WSB Bantry Bay Stakes. Fellow Hollywood Racing runner Luhamba Phambili looks to be the horse to beat. He is going to have to go forward from the awkward draw of seven. Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Raymond Danielson retains the ride and we are hoping that he will be hard to catch.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 24 wks. Best MR:119. Surprise winner before the break. Can show if fit.

Race 6 – 14:33
1000m – KRA Cup
8 – Hithemhardsunshine
Breeding: What A Winter – Agra by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 8 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He was disappointing in his last run over 1100m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. The stable feels that he will enjoy the return to Hollywoodbets Greyville. Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa rides and we are hoping for an improved effort.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:108. Disappointed in comeback run. Could improve to find a place.

Race 8 – 15:55
1900m – WSB Race with the Best Class 4
2 – El Rey Viene
Breeding: William Longsword – Brave Bid by Qui Danzig (USA)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 55.5kg
Draw: 2 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He is very well in himself and has been holding his form nicely. The stable feels that he has come on from his last outing and has had a consistent work programme heading into this race. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale rides and he is more than capable of finishing in the first three.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:86. Decent recent form. Should give another good account of himself.

Race 9 – 16:30
1400m – WSB Fly with the Best Class 4 (F & M)
11 – Ubukhwebezana
Breeding: Vercingetorix – Felicity Flyer by Noordhoek Flyer
Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 11 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
She is racing over her favourite course and distance. The daughter of Vercingetorix is doing very well at home. The biggest concern is her wide draw but there looks to be pace which will help her cause. With luck in running, she should run well and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers OFF. Best MR:80. Faced stronger last time. Can earn another cheque for her patrons.
