1 week ago | nation.africa | Deja vu

Multi-compliments to trainer, Oliver Gray, for distributing a quartet of winners - three owned by Wakini Ndegwa. Weba Wealth Management filled in the other space with their Roxy Music - third in the Oaks. It is sobering to reflect that Oliver has a diminutive stable compared to others, so, surely deserves a standing ovation. Oliver's, Treasure Cove, was unbeaten as a juvenile, had a lull, then ricocheted right back to where he belongs in the Nairac Gold Circle Tray.

1 week ago | nation.africa | Deja vu

Buster would want to breach the defenses of 1,200m Champagne Stakes rivals, after two respectable wins, albeit shorter. Gangster Grace, however, made easy pickings of her debut, and must be a ruffler of feathers here. Act of Genius ran way too far in the Derby, but still claimed fourth prize. This Goss Gold Circle Tray is much more suitable down the straight, even with 62Kgs. His commanding physical anatomy will cope with that.

Having already snared countless Oaks Classics, Doctor Patsy has Coming Home and Pinamar declared in the seven runner Fillies 2,400m tester this afternoon.
