Is Sky the limit?
The Mercury
|October 27, 2025
LIMITLESS SKY has not been out since contesting the Gr1 eThekwini Stakes at season's end where she copped sevenpoints in the handicap for finishing unplaced nearly seven lengths off the winner from the worst of the draw.
She takes on a competitive field in the Middle Stakes that heads the card on the poly at Hollywoodbets Greyville today but Wendy Whitehead does appear to have picked the right race for her seasonal debut. Limitless Sky is nicely in at the weights if the handicappers are to be believed but she does come off a break and takes on a more than useful field.
Tienie Prinsloo saddles the three-year-old Convocation who steps up in trip but has been in good form over shorter. The extra should not be a problem and she looks a big threat. Jazz Cafe is unbeaten in two starts since Robbie Hill added blinkers but she did get a six-point shunt in the handicap for her last win and she is taking on stronger. Mike Miller sends out Sovereign Grant who switches to the poly after two closeup efforts on the turf. She seldom runs a poor race and can go one better after finishing behind smart stable companion Infinity Edge.
Fortress Of Fire was impressive on debut but then ran two disappointing races in feature company, trainer Michael Roberts at a loss for the disappointing performances as he showed potential.

Transforming Trump's G20 snub into a strategic advantage for South Africa
THE announcement by US President Donald Trump that South Africa will be “uninvited” from the 2026 G20 Summit is, at face value, a diplomatic provocation. But beneath the headlines lies a far more consequential opportunity: the chance for South Africa - with its business leadership at the forefront - to redefine its global narrative, champion multilateralism and strengthen its position as a bridge between the West and the Global South.
