He’s an improving colt who’ll enjoy the step up to 1200m. The son of Vercingetorix is fit, well and in a good space. S’manga Khumalo retains the ride and he’s expected to fight out the finish.

Debut run. The stable feels that they have done enough with her at home to have her ready for this race. She’s likely to be green in running and need the run. This outing will bring her on nicely for future races.

He’s an honest individual who is putting up good work heading into this race. The son of Rafeef is ideally suited to this course and distance. If all goes according to plan, he can be competitive once again.

Jockey: Callan Murray
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 8 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
She returns from a 23-week break and drops to 1100m. The daughter of Buffalo Bill Cody looks fantastic and she’s a sound horse. She may need this outing and we’re hoping for a positive return to the races.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 23 wks. Blinkers OFF. Best MR:102. Back from a break. Her last run is best ignored.

Race 7 – 16:15
1200m – International 500 Racing Syndicate Class 4 (F & M)

Trainer: Garth Puller
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 4 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
She ran a creditable race over 1000m on the polytrack last time. The daughter of Captain Of All returns to her favourite course and she steps up to 1200m. It’s a competitive field, but she’s doing well and is expected to run a nice, honest race.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:83. Fair last effort on poly. One to consider.
