8 – Drifter’s Dream
Breeding: One World – Beataboutthebush by Gimmethegreenlight (AUS)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 8 (16 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 50/1
She needed her debut effort over 1000m on this course. The stable has reschooled her at the starting stalls at home. She is a filly that will be at her best over further and will be finishing this race off strongly. On her work at home, she is capable of finishing in the money.
Winning Form Comment: She can show useful improvement if jumping on terms.

Breeding: Futura – San Trip by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 6 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
He needed his debut effort over 1200m. He has come on since that outing and will love the step up to 1750m. If not too green around the turn, the stable feel that he can improve to finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: He will enjoy racing over further. Watch.

Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 3 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He stayed on when third over this distance on the polytrack last time. He is fit and well heading into this contest. The son of What A Winter is consistent, and we expect another honest run from him.

Race 7 – 15:50
1500m – Open A TABGold Account – 031 314 1874 MR 90 Handicap (F & M)
6 – Imperious Destiny
Breeding: Visionaire (USA) – Imperious Star by Navarone (USA)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 6 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
She was fractious in the starting stalls last time and did not jump on terms. She is going into this race fit and well. Her last victory came under Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa and if behaving herself at the gates, we expect her to be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:85. Good recent polytrack form. Should be one of the leading contenders.

Race 7 – 15:50
1500m – Open A TABGold Account – 031 314 1874 MR 90 Handicap (F & M)
7 – Zinikele
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Furina by Parade Leader (USA)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 7 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
She was unlucky not to have won her last start over 1400m. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight is at her best on the polytrack but racing on the grass is no concern. She will enjoy the rise to 1500m and with Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Richard Fourie retaining the ride, she has a big winning chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:93. Is 1.5kgs better off at the weights with number 5 on latest. Respect.

Race 8 – 16:30
1500m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future MR 88 Handicap
10 – Ralph The Rascal
Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Ice Link by Toreador (IRE)
Trainer: Siboniso Ngcobo
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 10 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
His last start is best ignored as the saddle slipped in running. He finished second in his previous two efforts on this course. He is working very well at home and with Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Richard Fourie in the irons, we expect him to be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Wright A-2024.04.08. Best MR:87. Had excuses in latest. Don’t ignore.

Race 8 – 16:30
1500m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future MR 88 Handicap
15 – Kitchakal
Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Daphne Garland by Fort Wood (USA)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: *Kobeli James Lihaba
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 15 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He returns to trainer Duncan Howells after racing in Cape Town. He has travelled well, and his condition is very good. The wide draw of 15 is an obvious concern but if Sporting Post-sponsored Apprentice Kobeli Lihaba can switch him off early, he will be running on and is capable of finishing in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Van Zyl G-2024.05.11. Rested 10 wks. Pacifiers OFF. Best MR:93. Back at Howells camp. Could improve.

1500m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future MR 88 Handicap
17 – Let The Flag Fly – SCRATCHED (Reserve Runner)
Breeding: Flying The Flag (IRE) – Seven Suns by Jet Master
Trainer: Tienie Prinsloo
Jockey: *Reserve Runner 2
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: * (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
He is reserve runner number 2. The son of Flying The Flag returns from a 17-week break and he is back with the Tienie Prinsloo stable. He carries a handy galloping mass of 54kgs and if getting into the race, we are hoping to see him return to best form.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Gila L-2024.03.26. Rested 17 wks. Best MR:99. Back in KZN and can improve.
