Fairview (Friday)

Race 2 – Give Us A Smile

Give Us A Smile is set to make his first appearance under the Sharon Kotzen stable, transitioning to the mile distance with the removal of blinkers. Luyolo Mxothwa has been assigned as the jockey, and provided he adjusts smoothly to his new surroundings, he is anticipated to influence the result of the upcoming contest.

Race 3 – Fire Glow

Considered a frontrunner in the race, Fire Glow has delivered two impressive performances since returning from a 10-week break. Her synergy with jockey Muzi Yeni has been notable, and coupled with her favourable draw of three, she is poised to secure another win, benefiting her patrons in the process.

Durbanville (Saturday)

Race 4 – Princess Calla

Princess Calla hailed as the standout contender in the race, is expected to outshine her competitors as she embarks on her seasonal debut following a triumphant KZN campaign. Her impressive victories in the Grade 1 SA Fillies Sprint, Grade 1 Ridgemont Garden Province Stakes, and the Grade 1 HKJC Champions Cup underscore her formidable pedigree, making her a strong contender in the upcoming race.

Race 5 – Hunting Trip

Hunting Trip, the undisputed favourite in the race, delivered a commendable performance, finishing second over 1200m at Fairview in the last outing. Notably, Three Rocks, a competitor from that race, emerged victorious subsequently. Hunting Trip boasts a flawless record over this course and distance, having clinched victory in her sole attempt. With Grant Van Niekerk in the saddle, she commands significant respect, making her a formidable contender in the upcoming race.

Scottsville (Saturday)

Race 2 – Captain’s Christy

Captain Christy, the favourite in this race, put up a strong fight in the Grade 2 Debutante last time. Despite a narrow loss, she returns from a 15-week break stronger. With two wins and two thirds in five starts on this course, and a light weight of 51.5kgs, she’s a strong contender if fit.

Race 6 – Sabatini

Sabatini displayed impressive speed in her recent polytrack race over this distance, finishing second to Shipholia. Today marks her peak run, and she appears to be in excellent form. With her consistent speed and racing style, she could prove difficult for competitors to catch up to, making her a strong contender in the upcoming race.

Turffontein (Sunday)

Race 1 – Women Of Fame

In her return race over this course and distance, Women Of Fame displayed a decent effort, racing prominently but showing signs of needing the run and tiring late. The daughter of What A Winter likely gained valuable experience from the race, and with jockey Richard Fourie guiding her, she may tap into her full potential and deliver a stronger performance when it counts the most.

Race 5 – Red Bomber

Red Bomber, the strong favorite guided by Gavin Lerena, finished third over 1200m in the last race. He’s expected to be much fitter now, especially with the added distance, and from a good draw of two, he is the one to beat.
