1160m – For Hospitality Bookings Call 011 681 1796 Pinnacle Stakes
7 – Chapbook
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Leaves Of Grass (AUS) by Poet’s Voice (GB)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: *Blaine Marx-Jacobson -1.0kg
Wgt: 52.0kg
Draw: 10 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 6/1
He has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. Apprentice Blaine Marx-Jacobson will take the 1kg off his back. It is a competitive field with numerous horses having decent winning chances. The main concern is that he is not ideally suited to this distance. We are hoping to see him running on and produce another honest performance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:106. Nice weight turnaround with number 4 on last run. Can go close.

Breeding: Gimmethegreenlight (AUS) – Skye Lane by Pathfork (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Gavin Lerena

Draw: 6 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
He followed up his maiden victory with a good second-place finish over 1700m at the Vaal. Hollywood Racing-retained Jockey Gavin Lerena knows him well. If repeating his last effort, he should be in with a very good chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:81. Produced a good second-place finish in post maiden debut. Runs well for Lerena.
