8 – Order Me A Bunny
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Kaidan Brewer (-4.0kg)
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 8 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He is now ready for a debut and the experience will serve him well. Apprentice Brewer, having worked him extensively at home, takes the mount first up. He will need further and we expect him to be green on debut.
Winning Form Comment: Brother to: JUST CRUISED I7g (34: 4,14), ALAREEF 10g (13: 4, 5). *Eightfold Path gelding(Cost R 40000).

4 – Protea Pride
Trainer: Corinne Bestel
Jockey: Stuart Randolph
Wgt: 59.0 kg
Draw: 4 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
He will need one more run here to bring him on before he starts to show something more promising as far as form is concerned. With that said, we’re expecting him to show good improvement over this 1600m trip.
Winning Form Comment: Needed debut effort. Would have come on from the run and can improve over the extra 400m on offer.
Race 8 – 16:30
1400m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future Maiden Plate (F&M)
1 – East Coast Star
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Donovan Dillon
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 1 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 2/1
We have to ignore her last effort where she should have been withdrawn after hitting her head in the stall gates. She hasn’t turned a hair since, proving that she is a very tough filly. There is very little form to recommend in this field and if bringing her penultimate run to the course on Sunday she should be hard to beat from a perfect draw.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:73. Is better than poor latest. Big runner on penultimate effort.
12 – Sihamba Sonke
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Kyle Strydom (-2.5kg)
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 12 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
She has been disappointing so far, but the stable has been working her with a set of blinkers and she is starting to show good enough form to run into the money this time around.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Not much promise shown. Gets blinkers fitted. Needs to improve.
