Race 1 – 11:55
1160m – Welcome To The Allied Steelrode Charity Mile Maiden Plate

Breeding: Buffalo Bill Cody (IRE) – Milk And Honey (USA) by Belong To Me (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 9 (13 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 9/2
He should have finished closer in his last two starts as he has been hanging in the closing stages of his races. The stable has opted to fit him with blinkers, and we are hoping that the headgear does the trick. Richard Fourie rides and he should have a chance.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Best MR:83. Decent last effort. Gets blinkers fitted and the booking of Fourie is a big plus.

Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Andrew Fortune
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 10 (17 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 16/1
He was touched off in his last start over 1200m at TAB Vaal. The obvious concern is his wide draw, but he gets the capable services of Andrew Fortune. He does have work to do at the weights, but the stable is confident that he will run a good race.
Winning Form Comment: Gelded 2026.05.05. Best MR:92. Is 2.5kgs worse off at the weights with Number 6 on last run.

5 – I’m A Fireball
Breeding: Vercingetorix – Gibraltar Blue (IRE) by Rock Of Gibraltar (IRE)
Trainer: Mike and Mathew de Kock
Jockey: Muzi Yeni
Wgt: 57.5kg
Draw: 1 (19 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 8/1
He has had a lovely preparation for this race, and the stable could not be happier with him. He is drawn in pole position and Jockey Muzi Yeni does know him well. There is a question mark about him seeing out the 1600m, but he has matured and the tongue-tie seems to have done the trick. If all goes according to plan, he will be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:117. Produced a gallant effort in a Grade 2 last time. Chance.

Trainer: Grant Maroun
Jockey: Malesela Katjedi
Wgt: 54.5kg
Draw: 19 (19 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 50/1
He is extremely well but is unfortunately drawn widest of all which makes the task a lot harder. He will have to be ridden from off the pace, and we are hoping to see him finishing strongly. With luck in running, we are hoping to see him in the money.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:112. *Entered for Betway Summer Cup 2026. Dark horse.

He was an impressive winner on debut over this distance at TAB Vaal. The stable is happy with him, and he has been galloping well. He does take on stronger but is a horse with ability and has a big winning chance.
