4 – Benni In The Area
Breeding: William Longsword – Kilauea by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 4 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He showed good speed over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time, but was outrun late. The stable have fitted him with the cheekpieces and we are hoping that the headgear helps him concentrate all the way to the line. If the 1000m is not too short for him, he should be involved.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:79. A quick starter and finished right behind number 8 in latest. Place chance.

Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Ice Link by Toreador (IRE)
Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: Lyle Hewitson
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 3 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He has consistent form lines to his name and he always gives of his best. It is a competitive field, but he jumps from a good draw of three and Lyle Hewitson knows the son of Gimmethegreenlight well. We are expecting another honest run from him.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:87. A 1400m specialist. Has claims on latest run.

Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Daphne Garland by Fort Wood (USA)
Trainer: Duncan Howells
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 4 (9 Runners)

He is returning from a 12-week break, but he is a horse that doesn’t take a lot of work and the stable feel that he is fit enough to do himself justice. He has been showing good work at home and although it is a competitive field, he should produce a positive run.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 12 wks. Best MR:93. Won well in latest. There have been multiple winners from the form line.

Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2022.10.04. Best MR:85. Fair latest. Steps up in distance and chance with luck in running.
