Races ARB Kenilworth - SAF

Three-year-old colt who is first starter by Rafeef out of Respectable Lady. Purchased for ZAR R 500,000 (Cape Thoroughbred Sales 2024 BREEZE UP & UNBROKEN 2YO SALE). Should be ready to fire.

Was at very long odds at debut, ran last of 12 at this track on November 8 over 1200m, 9 len behind Navaseven with 59kg at $101. Might need more time based on that poor debut.

First-starter by The United States out of Santa Vittoria. Hard to gauge so let the betting tell the story.

Third race start. First start 5th of 10 at Greyville on August 3 over 1200m, 3 len behind Town Crier with 58kg at $34. Went for a break before returning 8th of 14 at this track on November 19 over 1200m, 4.5 len behind Foudre carrying 59kg at $34. Fitter and expected to improve sharply.

Second-up. Promising on debut 4th of 10 at Durbanville on August 30 over 1250m, 2.5 len behind Nightrain with 58kg at $11. Returned from break 2nd of 9 at this track on November 10 over 1200m, head behind Umzingeli Wenyathi carrying 59kg at $3. Fought on well but found one better last time. Improver with winning prospects.

Last start 10th of 14 at this track on November 19 over 1200m, 5 len behind Foudre carrying 59kg at $34. The start before that second last of 9 at Durbanville on October 29 over 1400m, 11 len behind Ignite The Fire with 60kg at $5. Can do a lot better than that last run.

Racing well recently. Most recently 3rd of 12 at this track on November 8 over 1200m, 1.0 len behind Navaseven with 59kg at $4. The run before that 3rd of 10 at Durbanville on October 5 over 1000m, 2.75 len behind Caribbean Gold with 59kg at $3. Close to a win. Placed 3/4 here and looks hard to hold out.

Raced twice to date. At long odds at debut, ran last of 8 at Durbanville on September 9 over 1250m, 15 len behind Queen Regent with 54.0kg at $34. Last start 10th of 13 at this track on November 8 over 1200m, 9 len behind Innerbloom with 56kg at $67. Likely to run around at long odds and deservedly so.

Three-year-old gelding who is first starter by Master Of My Fate out of Aberdare. Purchased for ZAR R 175,000 (Bloodstock South Africa 2024 KZN Yearling Sale). Likely to come in for support.

Jumped at very long odds at debut, 12th of 14 at this track on November 2 over 1200m, 15 len behind Touched By Angels carrying 60kg at $101. Cannot enthuse after that sub-standard performance.

Most recently 6th of 12 at this track on November 8 over 1600m, 7 len behind Konnichiwa carrying 58kg at $4.30. The start before that 2nd of 10 at Durbanville on October 15 over 1250m, 1.75 len behind Fox On The Run carrying 59kg at $15. Freshened and back in trip. Placed over 1250m two back and can bounce back.
