Fairview (Friday)
Race 5 – Cruise Control
Cruise Control has convincingly won his last two races over 1000m. This son of Querari remains unbeaten in four starts on this course. With no concerns about the 1200m distance and starting from a favourable draw of three, he looks formidable, especially with Luyolo Mxothwa in the saddle.
Race 6 – You Win Again
You Win Again was incredibly impressive in her recent victory over 1300m on this course. Taking the lead at the 300m mark, she accelerated strongly and won with plenty in reserve. It’s noteworthy that several horses from that race have subsequently won. With the maximum eight-pound penalty for that win, she remains in good form, and with Richard Fourie aboard, she looks poised for another strong performance.
Greyville (Saturday)
Race 7 – Double Grand Slam
Double Grand Slam has been exceptionally impressive in her recent performances, winning her last two races convincingly. In the Grade 3 Umzimkhulu Stakes, she surged into the lead at the 250m mark, accelerated impressively, and pulled away from the field. As the in-form horse in this race, the daughter of Vercingetorix looks poised for a third consecutive victory, especially with Richard Fourie in the saddle.
Race 8 – Sandringham Summit
Sandringham Summit delivered an impressive performance in his last outing, finishing strongly to win the Grade 2 Hawaii Stakes. The runner-up from that race has since secured a victory, adding depth to the form. Unbeaten from two starts on this course, the son of Gimmethegreenlight is well-positioned to maintain his record, especially with Gavin Lerena in the saddle and a favourable draw of two.
Turffontein (Saturday)
Race 1 – Believe In Fate
Believe In Fate showed promise in his debut over 1200m at the Vaal, despite showing signs of inexperience. He finished well, indicating the potential for improvement. Several winners have emerged from the races he competed in, highlighting the strength of his debut performance. With the benefit of that experience and the natural progression expected in his second start, the son of Master Of My Fate could be a strong contender, especially with Muzi Yeni in the saddle.
Race 5 – Deception Pass
Another contender ridden by Muzi Yeni and expected to perform well is Deception Pass. Despite having limited racing experience, he has shown good form. In his last race, he positioned himself well and made a late rally to finish second. Being at his peak fitness today, the son of Ideal World is expected to be in prime condition. With a favourable field and his current form, he is a strong candidate to improve on his last performance and secure a victory.
Kenilworth (Sunday)
Race 2 – One Stripe
One Stripe delivered a remarkable performance in his last outing, winning the Grade 3 City Of Cape Town Cape Of Good Hope Nursery. Displaying impressive speed, he found an extra gear and won with ease. The son of One World possesses notable class, and with Gavin Lerena as his jockey, he is well-positioned to secure a third consecutive victory.
Race 3 – Sound of the Sea
Sound of The Sea displayed notable improvement in his recent outing over the same course and distance. Racing from a favourable position, he finished second and showed a strong finishing kick. The son of Talk Of The Town is a horse on the rise and is expected to be much fitter for this race. With Richard Fourie as the jockey, he has a good chance to improve on his last performance and secure a victory.
