1000m – www.galloptv.co.za Class 5
2 – Lions Eye
Breeding: Silvano (GER) – Sea Cat by Var (USA)
Trainer: Stuart Ferrie
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 2 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
His last two starts on the polytrack have been fair. He is working well at home and jumps from a good draw of two. We are hoping that there will be a decent pace and that he settles in the early stages. He should run a very good race and we expect him to be right there at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:74. Faced stronger in Class 4 last time. Can show.

He is an honest type who is holding his form nicely. The son of What A Winter is fit and well heading into this race. He is likely to be switched off near the rear of the field from his awkward draw of eight. He will be running on and is expected to be involved at the finish.

He is better than his last start over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. The son of Gimmethegreenlight is working very well at home and Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale is booked to ride. A good run is expected, and he can finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:87. Prefers poly but has claims on penultimate run.

He jumps from an awkward draw of nine and Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa is booked to ride. He has lost his best form, but his work has been very good. He is fit, well and we can expect a much better run from him.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Muscutt PB-2025.02.08. 3rd run after rest. Best MR:85. Needs to improve on moderate recent form.

Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 53.5kg
Draw: 2 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He returns from a short 10-week break and the stable has freshened him up. The stable has opted to remove the blinkers as he steps up to 1400m. He is doing well at home, carries a handy galloping mass of 53.5kgs and jumps from a good draw of two. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Sean Veale rides and we are hoping for form return.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 10 wks. Blinkers OFF. Best MR:80. Disappointing latest. Chance on previous form.

Breeding: Vercingetorix – Felicity Flyer by Noordhoek Flyer
Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 5 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
She won a good race over this course and distance last time. The daughter of Vercingetorix returns from a well-deserved 13-week break, and she has freshened up. She is working well and is in a good space heading into this contest. If not in need of the outing, she should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 13 wks. Best MR:80. Eye-catching winner before the break and the form line has been franked.
