Race 6 – 15:20
1800m – Betway MR 74 Handicap
7 – High Queue
Breeding: Master Of My Fate – Silver Mountain by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 5 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He won a good race when shedding his maiden tag over 2000m on the Turffontein Inside course last time. It will be no easy task in his first run in a Handicap. Craig Zackey steps into the saddle and we are hoping to see him finish in the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. Won latest against weaker. Is likely to race on the speed and can threaten.

Race 8 – 16:30
1000m – Betway MR 76 Divided Handicap (F & M)
9 – Smashing
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Wrecking Ball by Great Britain (GB)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Kaidan Brewer
Wgt: 54.5kg
Draw: 3 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
She finished fourth in her first run out of the maidens. This is a small but competitive field. The daughter of Rafeef is very well and her coat is shiny. We are expecting a good run, and she has a first three chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:72. Meets number 5 on the same weight terms. Is a threat.
