Bobby Bean writes that the Adam Marcus stable send out Hello Winter Hello who competes in the sixth race, the Listed Laisserfaire Stakes.

She was slow into stride that day but the manner in which she stayed on at the finish was really encouraging.
She is 1kg better off at the weights with Phil’s Dancer on her penultimate run and must be respected, as she is also a three-time winner at Kenilworth.
The Dean Kannemeyer camp sends out Legitimate who runs in Race 8. The great-looking son of Dynasty made a fair local debut in the Western Cape.

He unfortunately took a bump as the starting stalls opened that day but the manner in which he finished off is race was promising.

The way he races suggests that he will be at home over the extra distance. He jumps from an inside barrier today and with the expected natural improvement, he should take a power of beating.
He has cheek pieces fitted for today’s race.
