Billion Stars

J: M V'Rensburg

T: M N Houdalakis

Newcomer by William Longsword; Michael Houdalakis debutants always command respect here; should go close with signs of encouragement in profile and sire a rich source of sprint winners.

Cosmic Cap

J: C Habib

T: R Klaasen

Sire's progeny often do well as sprinters; September foal; already gelded; market should reveal plenty as to his prospects of winning at the first time of asking.

Micro Jet

J: Card Scratching

T: R R Sage

Stable's record a potential plus; running in first race; Australian bred; early foal; unless there is significant market confidence this debutant is probably best watched.

Northumberland

J: S Moodley

T: S G Tarry

Solid effort on his debut when third (C&D) at 25-1 21 days ago; from powerful trainer; should be better for that run.

Raptor King

J: K De Melo

T: J A Soma

Related to Grade 3 winner Legal Counsel; promising pedigree; must be respected as some good aspects to his profile and could be a speedy type on breeding.

Form:

Age: 2

Weight: 9-6

OR: -

Sands Of Valhalla

J: K Strydom

T: A P Peter

Looks the part on breeding (by Erik The Red); likely to be in contention with signs of encouragement in profile and his sire is a speed influence.

Form:

Age: 2

Weight: 9-6

OR: -

Days: -

A wide-open contest - Sands Of Valhalla and Raptor King look the part on pedigree while Egremont is capable of running well. However, BILLION STARS is put forward as the selection. He is the most interesting newcomer.
