Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Muzi Yeni
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 3 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
She did not enjoy racing on the polytrack last time, and she battled to quicken up the straight. She is very well in herself and will enjoy the return to the turf. It is a competitive field, but she is more than capable of a first three run.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:87. Is better than latest. Back on turf and can feature.

1000m – Open A TabGold Account – 031 314 1874 MR 98 Handicap
7 – Kupholiwe
Breeding: William Longsword – Enchanting Cathy by Var (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Muzi Yeni
Wgt: 53.0kg
Draw: 7 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He drops to the 1000m as he has been doing too much in the early stages of his races over further. He did win his maiden well over this distance. There is a lot of speed in the race, he may be outpaced early and will be doing his best work at the finish. We are hoping to see him return to best form.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Gelded 2023.07.11. Best MR:95. The form of his penultimate run is appealing. Loves this distance.
