He won a game race in the Non-Black Type Bantry Bay Stakes last time. His preparation for this race hasn’t been as plain sailing as last time but the stable has done everything it can to get him ready for this race. It’s a competitive field with numerous horses having winning chances. Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Raymond Danielson retains the ride and we’re hoping for a positive run.

Race 3 – 13:35
1000m – Franschhoek Motor Museum Winchester Sprint Cup (Non-Black Type)
10 – Lion Rampart
Breeding: One World – Saltire by Var (USA)
Trainer: Vaughan Marshall
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 10 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He won a good race in the Listed World Sports Betting Sophomore Sprint last time. He’s doing very well at home and his work has been good. The slight concern is that 1000m may be on the short side, but with Richard Fourie in the saddle it should make a big difference. The stable is very happy with him and we’re hoping to see him finish in the first three.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:111. In good form. Has peak run and merits respect.

Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 52.0kg
Draw: 11 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He’s better than his last start over this course and distance. He’s fit and in a good space heading into this race. This is a tough task for him and with his light mass of 52kgs, we’re hoping for a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:104. The form of his penultimate run stands out. Handy galloping mass will help.

Draw: 4 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
She won a good race in the Grade 3 World Sports Betting Southern Cross Stakes last time. The daughter of What A Winter will appreciate the step up to 1200m and she’s doing extremely well at home. Ridgemont-sponsored Jockey Richard Fourie retains the ride and she has another winning chance.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:116. In good form. Finished second in this race last year.

Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 55.5kg
Draw: 8 (16 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He’s having his first run for Trainer Peter Muscutt in Cape Town. He’s in very good order heading into this race and his gallop on the course two weeks ago was solid. The stable has opted to fit him with ear muffs to help switch him off in the early stages. It’s a competitive field and we are hoping that he runs a positive race.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Wright A J-2024.11.17. Best MR:85. Brings attractive KZN form. Trainer’s only runner today.
