Breeding: Flower Alley (USA) – La Linea by Dynasty
Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 59.5kg
Draw: 15 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He has a wide draw to contend with, but there will be a good pace which should suit him. He is doing well at home and his work has been good. He will be doing his best work at the finish and with luck in running, he should be involved.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:80. Good comeback run on this course and should strip fitter.

Race 8 – 16:35
1600m – Hollywoodbets Bright Future Maiden Plate (F & M)
6 – Umzolozolo
Breeding: Elusive Fort – Our Princess by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Michael Roberts
Jockey: #Rachel Venniker -1.5kg
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 6 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
She was a tad disappointing in her last run over this course and distance as her work is much better than what she has been showing at the races. Rachel Venniker takes the 1.5kgs off her back and she is expected to show improvement.
Winning Form Comment: Improving with each outing and may have more to come.
