Trainer: Louis Goosen
Jockey: Luyolo Mxothwa
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 10 (13 Runners)

She is improving with her racing and she is very well within herself. The daughter of What A Winter will enjoy the step up to 1200m and will be even better suited to further. Luyolo Mxothwa takes the ride and we are hoping to see her finish in the money.

Trainer: Brett Crawford
Jockey: Luyolo Mxothwa
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 5 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 16/1
She won a game race in the Listed KRA East Coast Cup last time and has come out of that run in very good order. This is going to be her toughest task to date and at the ratings, it will be a very difficult task. She is well and we are hoping for a positive run from the daughter of Dynasty.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:96. *Entered for HDJ 2023. In search of a hat-trick and merits respect.

Jockey: Luyolo Mxothwa
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 5 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 16/1
The stable are happy with his run in the Grade 2 WSB Guineas and he produced the fastest 400 to finish. The son of Coup De Grace will love the step up to 2000m. We are expecting a huge run from him.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:120. *Entered for HDJ 2023. Will enjoy the rise to 2000m. Can go close.

Race 8 – 15:50
1400m – Lifestyle MR 96 Handicap (F & M)
5 – Sashay Away
Breeding: Var (USA) – Rockaberry Lane by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 5 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
She jumps from a handy draw of five and will likely get a good run in transit behind the leaders. She is in very good order and looks exceptionally well in her coat. The daughter of Var does meet a very competitive field, but if she brings her best form, she is capable of fighting out the finish.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:99. Ran against stronger in a Grade 3 last time and should be cherry-ripe.

11 – Asiye Phambili
Breeding: What A Winter – Cast A Spell by Rambo Dancer (CAN)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 11 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
She is having her first run for the Howells stable and is showing some very nice work on the sand. She has not had a grass gallop heading into this race and she may be in need of this outing. The daughter of What A Winter is capable of finishing in the first four.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Tarry S G-2023.01.28. Rested 17 wks. Blinkers OFF. Best MR:88. Stable debut. Drops in trip and can improve.

Jockey: *Rachel Venniker -1.5kg
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 4 (14 Runners)

The distance is still on the short side for her, but she will enjoy the return to the turf. There are no races that suit her over further. This is her peak run and we are hoping for a positive effort from her.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:94. Fair latest when behind number 10. Has peak run and can feature.

Trainer: Peter Muscutt

She is drawn in barrier six and should get a good run in transit. Her work has been very pleasing in the lead up to this contest and she is in a good space. If her respiratory concerns don’t come into play, she should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:76. Good second in latest and should be cherry-ripe. Respect despite breathing issues.
