The Hollywoodbets Kenilworth track is expected to suit. She is working well at home and Winning-Form sponsored jockey Richard Fourie retains the ride. She does have a wide draw to overcome, but the stable are very confident and expect her to win.
Winning Form Comment: Placed in all three starts and is difficult to oppose on form.

Race 5 – 14:25
1000m – wsb.co.za Southern Cross Stakes (Grade 2)
10 – Shantastic
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Gain Ground by Fort Wood (USA)
Trainer: Dean Kannemeyer
Jockey: Piere Strydom
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 10 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
She returns from a four month break, making her seasonal debut in this Grade 2 contest over the minimum trip. It will be on the sharp side for her as she is better over 1200 to 1400m, but this race should bring her on for contests later in the season. She has had plenty of work on the sand, and looks well in herself. The stable are hoping she finishes her race off well.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 20 wks. Best MR:101. The break may have been what she needed. Likes this course and can improve.

Race 9 – 16:45
1200m – Pamela Isdell Class 3
12 – Moya Wa LaLiga
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Mrs Everest (IRE) by Galileo (IRE)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 53.5kg
Draw: 12 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He races back down the straight which will suit and stable jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa gets back on board. His last start should be excused as he choked up in running and was eased out of the race. A tougue-tie will be fitted on Saturday which should help, and the stable are expecting him to bounce back to his best.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:81. Got caught deep and wasn’t persevered with last time. Chance on prior form.
