Breeding: Captain Of All – African Honey by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Marco van Rensburg

Draw: 2 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He showed good improvement when second in his last start with the blinkers fitted. The son of Captain Of All has come through the run well. Marco van Rensburg is booked to ride and if repeating his last outing, he should have a winning chance.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Just beaten with blinkers last time. Can go one better.

Predicted Betting: 5/1
He showed good improvement when fourth over this distance last time. The son of New Predator will be at his best over further, but he is coming along the right way. It is a competitive field and we are hoping to see him finish in the first three.

Race 3 – 13:35
1600m – Play Soccer 6, 10 And 13 Maiden Plate

Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Silver Mountain by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Keagan de Melo
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 3 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He jumps from a good draw of three and gets the services of Keagan de Melo. He may have hit the front too early last time before getting outrun late to finish third. It is a competitive field, but he has a good first three chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:71. Good latest. De Melo may be able to coax a little bit extra out of him.

Race 7 – 15:55
1160m – Racing Today Pinnacle Stakes
2 – Anfields Rocket
Breeding: Coup De Grace (USA) – Milla’s Rocket (IRE) by Galileo (IRE)
Trainer: Grant Maroun
Jockey: Philasande Mxoli
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 8 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He is better than his last start in the Grade 2 Post Merchants as his bloods showed that he had an illness. He has improved since that outing and his work is much better leading up to this race. An improved run is expected, and he must be included in all bets.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:120. The form of his penultimate run is appealing. Chance.
