Trainer: Stuart Ferrie
Jockey: Sean Veale

He showed very good improvement when third in his first start for the Stuart Ferrie stable. He has come through that run well and his preparation heading into this race has gone smoothly. The stable is of the opinion that he may still need this run. We are hoping to see him finish off his race strongly.
Winning Form Comment: Ex De Kock MF-2023.11.25. 2nd run after rest. The 2nd horse in latest has come out and won since. Respect.

Draw: 1 (12 Runners)

He produced a pleasing debut effort despite very green in the running. The son of Ideal World will be at his best over further as he matures and strengthens up. He is doing well at home and a good run is expected under Craig Zackey.
Winning Form Comment: Fair debut when behind number 5. Should come on nicely with that run under the belt.

He is better than his last two starts and returns from a 14-week break which did him the world of good. He is doing well at home and from barrier one, he is capable of finishing in the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 14 wks. Best MR:87. Drops in class and can improve.

Trainer: Mike de Kock
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 10 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He came out of his comeback run very well and seems to have come on with the run. It is a competitive field with numerous horses having winning chances. With a bit of luck from his wide draw, he should be a big runner.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:78. Good local debut effort on this course. Respect despite breathing issues.

Race 9 – 16:45
1000m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future MR 85 Handicap
7 – Griffin Park
Breeding: Querari (GER) – Pin Turn (GB) by Pivotal (GB)
Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: *Damyan Pillay -4.0kg
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 7 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
His last start is best ignored as he was reported to be not striding out post-race. He has done quite a lot of work before the rain came and he loves going into his races fresh. The son of Querari gets the services of 4kgs claiming apprentice Damyan Pillay and he has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:80. Could upset if finding form of penultimate effort.

Race 9 – 16:45
1000m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future MR 85 Handicap
11 – Rafa’s Boy
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Flame Cat (AUS) by Tale Of The Cat (USA)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Marco van Rensburg
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 11 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He ran an encouraging race over 1100m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. He is in a good space and the stable is of the opinion that he will enjoy racing over this course and distance. The obvious concern is his wide draw of 11. With a bit of luck in running, he can fight out the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:81. Finished third behind subsequent winner in latest. Don’t ignore.
