She is a filly who has had a few setbacks, but the stable are on top of those issues at the moment. It is time for her to start her racing career and this distance is too short. The daughter of Visionaire will be much better suited to further and this run will bring her on for future races.

Race 4 – 14:15
1200m – Shireen Krishna MR 80 Handicap
3 – Moya Wa LaLiga
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Mrs Everest (IRE) by Galileo (IRE)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 3 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He is having his first run for the Gareth van Zyl stable. He had to be schooled at the starting stalls and re-pass to earn his certificate. If he reproduces how he has been jumping out the gates at home, he is capable of being competitive. He is the stable elect with Athandiwe Mgudlwa in the saddle.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Botes B/Vosloo Y-2022.08.23. Rested 28 wks. Best MR:81. First run for Van Zyl camp. Chance on best form.

5 – Hope Is Power
Breeding: Soft Falling Rain – Sarasota by Kahal (GB)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: *Rachel Venniker -1.5kg
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 5 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 2/1
He did run on nicely from off the pace last time out and will enjoy the step up to 1200m. His trainer is of the opinion that he is better suited to the polytrack. However, he is doing well and should have an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:89. Fair latest despite awkward start and should strip fitter. Chance.

Jockey: Tristan Godden
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 5 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He is doing well at home and is holding his form nicely. He is at his best on the polytrack, but has placed on this course previously. Tristan Godden takes the ride and he is capable of finishing in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. 3rd behind a progressive individual in latest. Likes this distance and can earn.

Breeding: Elusive Fort – Early Spring by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 2 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
We are trying the 2400m for the first time and feel that he will be suited to the distance. He gets the services of Winning Form-sponsored jockey Keagan de Melo and from his good draw of two, he is expected to be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:73. Fair last two starts. Has peak run and last win came under De Melo.
