Draw: 10 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He was disappointing in his last start over 1200m and showed no pace that day. He drops back to the 1000m and will be ridden by Muzi Yeni. On his previous form, he should be involved in the fight to the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:76. Didn’t shape in latest. Drops back to minimum trip and chance on prior form.

1000m – Book A Table Call 011 681 1796 Maiden Plate
6 – Prized Platinum
Breeding: Querari (GER) – Platinum Princess by Rakeen (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 4 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
Debut run. The 1000m is on the short side for him and he will be at his best over further. The son of Querari is expected to be green in running and he will need the experience. This run will bring him on for future races.
Winning Form Comment: *Querari gelding.

2000m – TAB Telebet 0861 000 822 MR 84 Handicap
2 – Trois Trois Quatre
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Badger Creek by Ideal World (USA)
Trainer: Mike de Kock
Jockey: S’manga Khumalo
Wgt: 60.5kg
Draw: 8 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He is doing really well at home. He is better than his last start suggests as he had no clear passage at a certain stage of the race which didn’t help his chances. He is a horse that needs a hard ride and S’manga Khumalo will do duty. A positive run is expected, and he can return to best form.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:87. Is held by number 1 on latest. Place chance.

Breeding: Dynasty – Doris Duke by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Brett Crawford
Jockey: Kabelo Matsunyane
Wgt: 58.5kg
Draw: 4 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
She won a good race over 1800m at Turffontein last time. She has come on from that outing and is doing very well at home. The stable feel that she is capable of following up with another victory.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:82. Won latest with pacifiers. Should give the males a good run for their money.
