He ran two good races in Cape Town and is having his first run on the Highveld. The stable has not done much with him heading into this race. He drops back to 1200m, and we are hoping to see him finishing strongly. SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Calvin Habib rides and he can feature.

Jockey: Sean Veale
Wgt: 53.0kg
Draw: 12 (19 Runners)

Race 9 – 16:35
1400m – wsb.co.za MR 66 Handicap
1 – Amandla Ngawethu
Breeding: Rafeef (AUS) – Cape Floral by Fort Wood (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: *Savanna Valjalo -4.0kg
Wgt: 63.0kg
Draw: 17 (17 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 10/1
He won a game race when shedding his maiden tag over this course and distance. This is his first run in a handicap, and he should handle the rise in class. His biggest danger could be his stable companion, Legendary. The son of Rafeef is doing well at home, and he is in with a chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:75. Narrow winner in latest. The cheekpieces did the trick.
