Trainer: Heather Adamson
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Wgt: 53.0kg
Draw: 1 (7 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
It is a small field of seven runners, she is drawn in pole position and carries a handy galloping weight of 53kgs. There has been some rain in Gauteng, and she should enjoy some cut in the ground. Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Kabelo Matsunyane rides and we are hoping for a positive run.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:88. Better than last two runs. Light mass will help.

He is doing well at home and has had a good preparation heading into this race. He does meet a competitive field and has some work to do at the weights. Muzi Yeni steps back into the saddle and we are hoping to see him fight out the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:102. Meets number 1 on similar weight terms. Should be involved at the finish.
