“Dynamic Diana Is a high class filly but has never been on the grass due to no gallops in Cape Town. She will need the first run. One to follow!”
‘Nice colt but will need his first run due to the lack of grass available in the Western Cape presently – it is therefore hard to assess his chances but on his work back home, he could run a minor place’

‘Has put up some good ground work and hopefully she will be competitive in the race’
