He has shown a lot of improvement in his work since his encouraging debut effort over 1000m. He will enjoy the step up to 1200m and Richard Fourie has been booked to ride. If bringing his homework to the races, he should be involved in the fight to the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Took on winners on debut and should appreciate the extra furlong. Chance.

Trainer: Alyson Wright

He has not finished too far off the winner in his last two starts. The 1200m is on the short side, but he is fit and well. Piere Strydom is booked to ride and the stable feel that he is capable of finishing in the money.

Trainer: Mike de Kock

Predicted Betting: 7/1
She came out of the Grade 1 SA Fillies Sprint very well. She drops back to her favourite distance and she receives her sex allowance. Isivunguvungu is the horse to beat, but she is in a good space and a big run is expected.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:109. Needed latest and prefers this distance. Is taking on males.

Breeding: What A Winter – Miss Tweedy by Tiger Ridge (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 62.0kg
Draw: 6 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/10
He was super-impressive when winning the Grade 1 Jonsson Workwear Computaform Sprint last time. He is in good order and his work has been solid. He has maintained his fitness levels well and he looks great in his coat. Strictly on ratings, he does look to be the horse to beat. We can look forward to another honest effort from him.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:130. Won a Grade 1 last time and the form line has worked out well. Respect.

Breeding: What A Winter – Wind Chill by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Louis Goosen
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 13 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
Her last run did not work out for her as she came out the starting stalls and over raced. She is bred to enjoy the rise to 1600m and will be switched off in behind runners from the wide draw. We are hoping to see her running on and show improvement.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Janse van Vuuren J-2022.11.30. 3rd run after rest. Makes course debut. Has a wide draw to overcome and needs to improve.
