1400m – Online Form Guide www.gallop.co.za Maiden Plate
8 – Next Of Kin
Breeding: Canford Cliffs (IRE) – My Friend Lee by Pathfork (USA)
Trainer: Mike and Mathew de Kock
Jockey: Callan Murray
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 8 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
Based on his last start when fourth over 1200m, he is going to enjoy the rise to 1400m. He is awkwardly drawn in barrier eight and we are hoping that he can find a nice spot going into the turn. Callan Murray steps back into the saddle and he has a good each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Fair latest. Produced a good debut under Murray. Should enjoy the step up in distance.

Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: Nicholas Patel
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 9 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 25/1
He has shown too much pace in his races and the stable are going to try and switch him off near the rear of the field from the widest draw. We are hoping that everything goes according to plan and to see a form return.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:78. Showed signs of needing latest. Should strip fitter.

She is doing very nicely at home. It is a competitive field with numerous horses having decent winning chances. She gets the services of 4kgs claiming Apprentice Savanna Valjalo and if everything goes according to plan, she is in with a big chance.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:83. Is 6kgs better off at the weights with number 6 on latest. Can go close.

Breeding: What A Winter – Dame Eleanor (AUS) by New Approach (IRE)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Callan Murray
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 7 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
Her last run is best ignored as she played up in the starting stalls and had multiple injuries to her mouth. Her work has been solid, and she is moving well heading into this contest. We are hoping to see her put her best foot forward and she looks set to be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 10 wks. Best MR:84. Had excuses in latest. Can improve if fit and well.
