He showed good improvement in his first run for the Gary Rich stable. He has come on from the outing and is doing very well at home. If confirming his recent improvement, he should be involved in the fight to the finish.

Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Tristan Godden
Wgt: 60.5kg
Draw: 3 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He showed good signs of a form return in his last start over 1400m. He is putting up some nice work at home and is handling it well. We are hoping that he settles in the early stages. A good run is expected and he has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:72. Has placed in both attempts over this distance and should be cherry-ripe. Chance.

Trainer: Dean Kannemeyer
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 1 (8 Runners)

He did not enjoy the going on the polytrack last time and is better than the effort suggests. The stable have kept him fresh heading into this race. If finding the form of his penultimate run, he should be involved in the fight to the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2022.10.31. Best MR:72. Had excuses in latest. Trainers only runner and chance on penultimate run.

Breeding: Var (USA) – Rockaberry Lane by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Tristan Godden
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 1 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
She returns from a 13-week break after excuses in a feature in Gauteng last time. Her work leading up to this race has been solid and although we can expect a positive run, she will come on from this outing and it will bring her on for future races.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 13 wks. Best MR:99. Had excuses in a Grade 3 last time. Chance on attractive prior form.

Race 6 – 15:20
1200m – Gold Circle Racing Youtube Channel MR 102 Handicap
11 – Bowie
Breeding: Twice Over (GB) – Super Model by National Assembly (CAN)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Serino Moodley
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 11 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He is returning from an 11-week break, but is a fit horse heading into this race. We would have preferred to have him race over 1400m, but have opted to keep him on the grass. Serino Moodley does duty and he can run into the money.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 11 wks. Best MR:99. The form of his 14.09.2022 run is appealing.

Race 8 – 16:25
1200m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future MR 71 Handicap (F & M)
6 – Shipholia
Breeding: William Longsword – Sea Glitter (USA) by Holy Bull (USA)
Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 6 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
She is a big and beautiful filly who is strengthening up very well. She has had a few setbacks and that is the reason for the 16-week break. The daughter of William Longsword will be suited to the 1200m, but may be in need of the run. She is capable of finishing in the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 16 wks. Has been rested since handicap debut. May be better suited to this trip at this stage of her career.
