Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 6 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She was doing her best work at the finish when fifth over 1200m on this course last time. She meets a strong field and she has work to do at the weights. There are no races that suit her over this distance until next month. We are hoping to see her finish in the first three.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:80. Decent latest. Comes in with a handy galloping weight and can show.

7 – Woza Nawe
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Butterfly Girl by Jet Master
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 7 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
She won a good race over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. Her work has been solid in the lead-up to this race and she is in good order. This race should set her up well for the upcoming Champions Season. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight is expected to produce an encouraging return to the races.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 13 wks. Best MR:83. Kept finding to win latest. Trainer’s only runner today.

Race 6 – 14:55
1600m – Greyville Convention Centre Class 5
3 – Eventidor
Breeding: Elusive Fort – Early Spring by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Siboniso Ngcobo
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 3 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He got going late when fourth over 1400m last time. He will love the rise to 1600m as two of his four career victories have come over this distance. He is working very well at home and has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:78. Is 1.5kgs better off at the weights with number 2 on latest. Respect.

Race 8 – 16:05
1800m – www.tabgold.co.za Class 4
5 – El Rey Viene
Breeding: William Longsword – Brave Bid by Qui Danzig (USA)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 55.5kg
Draw: 5 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He is coming back to his better form and is very well in himself. The son of William Longsword will enjoy the softer track with all the rain in KZN recently. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale rides and he is more than capable of finishing in the first three.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Smith G D-2024.10.04. 3rd run after rest. Best MR:86. Starting to find his better form. Consider.

Race 8 – 16:05
1800m – www.tabgold.co.za Class 4
7 – Uzwano
Breeding: Ideal World (USA) – Banbury by Horse Chestnut
Trainer: Dean Kannemeyer
Jockey: Muzi Yeni
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 7 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
He found the 2400m too far last time and the stable have dropped him back to 1800m. He gets the blinkers fitted which will help him show a little more interest in the early stages. Muzi Yeni is booked to ride and we are hoping for a positive outing.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Best MR:82. Had excuses in latest. The blinkers should sharpen him up.
