Winner ZAR R93,750 - 13 runners
6f
Going: Good
Surface: T
SUTHERLAND (12) lines up for the first time since November 28. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 7f at this track. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. CHIEFTAIN (3) finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 5f at Turffontein Standside a month ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will prove tough to beat. EDWARD RYE (8) finished third last time over 5¾f at Turffontein Standside, beaten 5 lengths. Meets some better types this time but a win is not out of the question. NIGHT BOMBER (9) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 9/11/2024, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths over 5½f at Kenilworth. Has switched to the Barend Botes stable. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
