Race 2: CAPE LIGHTS (2)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: R Sage
CAPE LIGHTS has finished second in her last three starts. She raced from a handy position over 1800m last time and was outrun late by Lady Regent. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. She will enjoy the drop back to the mile and may be rewarded for consistency.
Race 3: NATIONAL STAR (10)
Jockey: S SObiso – Trainer: S Tarry
NATIONAL STAR has decent consistent form lines to her name. She lost three lengths leaving the start in her comeback run over 1160m and stayed on to finish second. She has finished second twice and third twice from as many starts over this distance. She gets the services of 2.5kgs claiming apprentice Siyanda Sosibo which will help her cause. She is carded to race on 19 January 2023 and her progress in that race will need to be monitored.
