He returns from a lengthy 58-week break and is having his first run for Gareth van Zyl. He has been given the time to recover after an injury and strengthen up. The son of Rafeef is in good condition heading into this race and the stable feel that he has a good winning chance.

Race 5 – 14:05
2400m – World Sports Betting Highland Night Cup (Non-Black Type)
5 – El Rey Viene
Breeding: William Longsword – Brave Bid by Qui Danzig (USA)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 5 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He has been racing very consistently and his last start when second over 1750m, was very good. He gave the impression that he was out sprinted over the last 400m of that race which suggests he will enjoy the rise in distance. He put up a good gallop on Tuesday morning and although stepping up in class, he should run a positive race.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2022.10.04. Best MR:85. Is 4kgs better off at the weights with number 4 on penultimate run.

She was disappointing in her last start and returns to the straight course. She is doing well at home and with Winning Form-sponsored jockey Richard Fourie in the saddle, she can finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:92. Placed over this C&D in penultimate start. Don’t ignore.
