The colts 2 Year Old championship race is another cracking affair. With a one one time winners coming into the mix after after an impressive debut. 

ZODIAC RULER (14) made a super debut two weeks ago, winning a good contest over this distance on the polytrack last time. He may have lost four lengths at the start that day, but he came back full of running to win using an impressive burst of speed late on to win going away. The two year old Australian bred son of  ZOFFANY, a new sire in terms of South African racing, is trained by Justin Snaith and will be ridden by Richard Fourie.

MISTY BIRNAM (6), Mike De Kock's two year old son of  TOREADOR, won this C & D last time. he has now won his last two., winning his latest quite comfortably by just over three lengths. He could go very close in this race. Apprentice Callan Murray rides.

OOMPH (8) moved from the Alan Greeff yard in PE before his latest run in the Grade 1 Gold Medallion at Scottsville last time. He was far from disgraced in that race, but weakened in the latter stages that day. He won his first three starts in PE before moving to the Mike Azzie yard. He should have a say today. Apprentice Lyle Hewitson rides.

PALLADIUM (10) is unbeaten after two.  He is a son of SILVANO. Charles Laird trains and young and up-and-coming jockey Keagan de Melo has the ride. He could go on to be something special, although he has to overcome a wide draw this afternoon.

UNAGI (13) is better drawn and he has won his last two after an indifferent first two. It looks as though he still has to reach his peak and does look someone with some promise. The Gary Alexander yard is in very good form and their runners are all worth following. Watch this son of ADMIRE MAIN for even further improvement. Andrew Fortune has the ride.
