He has been disappointing in his four runs to date. He finished fifth over 1000m on the Inside course on Tuesday and this outing may come too soon. The stable will see how he has pulled up before deciding whether he will take his place here. We are hoping to see improvement.

Trainer: Mike and Mathew de Kock
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 3 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
Debut run. He is a big horse who shows speed in his work. The son of Rafeef will be at his best over further and this outing will bring him on nicely for future races. With all the rain in Gauteng, he has missed out on quite a lot of work in the last two weeks. We are hoping for a positive introduction to the races.
Winning Form Comment: *Rafeef colt(Cost R350000).

Trainer: Robbie Sage
Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 6 (16 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
She produced a promising debut effort over 1200m at the Vaal. The daughter of Canford Cliffs had a viral infection after that outing and returns from a short eight-week break. She has missed out on quite a lot of work due to all the rain in Gauteng. She may need the run, and we are hoping for a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: Sister to: BOUQUET6m(23: 2, 7),WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE7m(23: 2, 4). Promising debut. Trainer’s only runner today.

Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 56.5kg
Draw: 5 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He ran a good race when fourth in the Grade 3 Betway Graham Beck Stakes last time. He had an elevated temperature after that run, and the stable have freshened him up. The son of Buffalo Bill Cody has had a gallop heading into this race. He will prefer further, and this outing will bring him on nicely for future races.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:97. Looked threatening in a Grade 3 last time and the form line has worked out well.

Jockey: Callan Murray

He is much better than his last start in the Grade 3 Betway Graham Beck Stakes. The son of Canford Cliffs drops to 1160m which will be much better for him. He is expected to put in a good performance, and we are hoping to see him involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:96. Better than latest. Drops back to a more suitable trip and can feature.

Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 3 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He was an easy winner when shedding his maiden tag over this distance at the Vaal last time. The son of Canford Cliffs has come through that run well. He takes on stronger and this outing will show us where we stand. We are hoping for a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:76. Cruised in last time. First run out of the maiden ranks and can make his presence felt.
