Breeding: What A Winter – Orchid Island by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Mike de Kock
Jockey: Serino Moodley
Wgt: 61.0kg
Draw: 3 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He is better than his last start as the saddle slipped in running and he was reported to be fatigued post-race. He is doing well at home and is in a good place heading into this contest. The son of What A Winter has won over this course and distance previously. It is a small field and he should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2023.11.16. Best MR:82. Won maiden over this C&D. Can’t be denied on penultimate run.

Race 8 – 16:45
1400m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future MR 94 Handicap
1 – Phutulicious
Breeding: Fire Away (USA) – Centimes (GB) by Shamardal (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 55.5kg
Draw: 1 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He returns from a short eight-week break and with all the rain in KZN recently, he missed his grass gallop. Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa rides and he is drawn in pole position. The stable are of the opinion that he will need the outing.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:85. Finished close-up behind subsequent winner in latest. Respect.

Race 8 – 16:45
1400m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future MR 94 Handicap
6 – Shampompo Shampizi
Breeding: Var (USA) – Light The Moon by Victory Moon
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Siphesihle Hlengwa
Wgt: 62.5kg
Draw: 6 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He had an interrupted work programme heading into this race. However, he is an older horse and should not be affected by this. The main concern is that he must carry a big mass of 62.5kgs. We are hoping for a positive run.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:99. Better than moderate latest. Is suited to this C&D.

He is very well in himself and is in a good space heading into this race. Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Sean Veale retains the ride and with a bit of luck in running, he is capable of finishing in the first three.
