Race 2: GILDED BUTTERFLY (9)
Jockey: Matsunyane K – Trainer: Pettigrew S
GILDED BUTTERFLY produced an eye-catching debut effort over 1160m on the Standside course. She understandably raced green, but the manner in which she finished off her race was encouraging. The daughter of Flower Alley will be at home over the 1450m and with a bit of luck from the widest draw, she should be the one to beat in this field.
Race 4: ESCAPE ARTIST (1)
Jockey: De Melo K – Trainer: Tarry S
ESCAPE ARTIST fought hard for her last victory over 1450m on this course. It must be noted that the horse that finished fifth that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Pomodoro takes a drop in class and with Keagan de Melo retaining the ride, she can follow up.
Race 6: ABOUT TO STORM (5)
Jockey: De Melo K – Trainer: Janse van Vuuren
ABOUT TO STORM was running on too late when second over 1450m on this course last time. He has won once, finished second twice and third twice from six starts on this course. He takes a big step up to 2000m, which should suit him well. He is very well-weighted and should notch up his second career victory.
Race 7: SWEET SENSATION (1)
Jockey: Yeni M – Trainer: Spies C
SWEET SENSATION produced a decent comeback run over this distance on the Vaal Classic course. She showed good speed, but was outrun late. She has won twice, finished second once and third five times from fourteen starts over this distance. The daughter of Var will strip much fitter and she can return to winning ways.
