He won a game race in his last start over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He steps up to the 1800m which is probably his maximum distance. The son of Gimmethegreenlight is fit and well heading into this race. Sean Veale knows him well and another good run is expected.

Breeding: Var (USA) – Rockaberry Lane by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 6 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
She has had a couple of issues, but the stable are happy with her heading into this race. The daughter of Var may need this run which is over a distance short of her best. This will be a nice starting block for her for the KZN Champions Season.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:99. Needed latest and should strip fitter. All three wins have come on this course.

She has travelled well to KZN after a successful Western Cape campaign. The daughter of Rafeef meets a very competitive field, but she carries a handy galloping mass of 54kgs. This will be a good test for her and we are hoping for a positive run.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:90. Finished strongly in latest win and the form line has worked out well. Trainers only runner.

He returns to KZN after and a pleasing Western Cape campaign. He has come back a nice strong horse and is very fit. Although he meets a very competitive field, he is more than capable of finishing in the first three.

Winning Form Comment: Best MR:87. Tried hard for Matsunyane in latest and merits respect.
