Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Wgt: 57.0kg
Draw: 6 (6 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He needed his debut effort over 1000m on this course. The son of Fire Away has come on since the outing and he is doing nicely at home. He does take on winners, but we can expect to see an improved performance.

Trainer: Mike and Mathew de Kock
Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 6 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He needed his first run as a gelding over 1160m. The son of Gimmethegreenlight has made improvement since that outing and will love the step up to 1600m. Gavin Lerena rides and he has a place chance.

Trainer: Dean Smith
Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 3 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She is in a very good space, and the stable is extremely happy with her. The daughter of Canford Cliffs will travel up to the Highveld on Thursday and arrive on Friday morning. She is a quality mare and if all goes according to plan, she should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:100. Eastern Cape raider. Chance if all went well with her travels.

Race 9 – 16:50
1160m – Next Turffontein Race Meeting: Saturday, 28 March Pinnacle Stakes
2 – Ziyasha
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Kelly’s Olympics (USA) by Kingmambo (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Gavin Lerena
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 5 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 12/1
He may not have enjoyed the going in the Grade 3 JJ The Jet Plane Stakes last time and is much better than the run suggests. The son of Rafeef is not ideally suited to 1160m and is at his best over 1000m. The blinkers are removed, Gavin Lerena is booked to ride, and we are hoping for a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Blinkers OFF. Best MR:119. Much better than latest. Include.

Breeding: New Predator (AUS) – Penny Serenade by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Grant Maroun
Jockey: Callan Murray
Wgt: 56.0kg
Draw: 2 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He ran a fair race when fourth over 1400m last week Saturday. He has pulled up sound and is very well in himself. The stable has opted to drop him back to 1160m. SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Callan Murray rides and he is expected to run an honest race.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:112. Fair last two runs. Murray takes the ride and can feature.

He returns from a 10-week break and drops to 1160m. He finished second in both his previous attempts over this distance. He carries a handy galloping weight and is doing extremely well at home. The stable is expecting a big run from him.
