Hollywoodbets-sponsored Trainer Fanie Bronkhorst sends out Raceway in Race 2.

She showed good improvement when second over 1000m on this course last time.

It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since.

The daughter of New Predator is a progressive type and with Gavin Lerena in the saddle, she can go one better.

Douglas Dragon from the Mark Khan stable takes his place in Race 6. He ran a fair race in his comeback effort over 1600m at the Vaal.

He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this distance.

The son of Lancaster Bomber would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter.

Jarryd Penny knows him well and he can return to winning ways.

 Race 4 No 3 BETTY MO had a 311 day break due to recovering from a fractured pastern.

Rac: 5 No 7 GREENLIGHT RACER had a 342 day break due to being given time off to mature.

Race 7 No 12 NEW MEXICO had a 135 day break due to recovering from a sore back.
