Khanyi Mbau jets off to Los Angeles for Netflix Reality Universe
Khanyi is the first African to receive a Netflix Reality Universe Superlatives nomination. Media personality Khanyi Mbau recently jetted off to Los Angeles for the annual Netflix Reality Universe Superlatives, a global celebration of Netflix's most popular reality TV stars. Mbau made history this year, becoming the first African to receive a nomination in the prestigious awards, and it's her first-ever career nomination. She is nominated in the Main Character Energy category for her role in the hit Netflix reality series Young, Famous & African. 'So excited to be nominated as the first African for the Netflix Superlative vote for: Main Character Energy… 'What does giving the main character energy mean? Taking a lead role in your own life rather than living as a supporting cast member for others,' she wrote, sharing the exciting news on Instagram earlier this month.

Superlative chance for Italy to follow City Of Troy
Two years ago City Of Troy burst into the big-race picture when beating Haatem by over six lengths in this race – and the suggestions are that Italy could produce something similar. The imposing Wootton Bassett colt eventually got going to win cosily on his debut at Leopardstown from Thesecretadversary, who franked the form by running well in the Chesham Stakes at Royal Ascot. O'Brien said: 'We're looking forward to him. He's a lovely horse, we think he's come forward from his maiden and we're looking forward to seeing what he'll do on Saturday. 'The horse that was second to him in Leopardstown was second in Ascot, so hopefully he'll run well.' Saba Desert is one of two runners for Charlie Appleby and the once-raced Dubawi colt is the choice of William Buick. Appleby has won the race five times since 2016, including last year with Ancient Truth. 'He won well at Sandown. It looks a good Superlative and as always it's full of potential, but he's a nice horse, he should have improved for Sandown and we'll know where we are come Saturday afternoon,' said Buick. 'Charlie always earmarks the Superlative as a race where he wants to run his nicer two-year-olds, so it's not hard to come to a conclusion that he's one of the nicer ones and he's only had the one run, so he's a horse that's got plenty of improvement left in him. 'He took on experienced horses at Sandown, I thought he did it very well and couldn't do any more than what he did. 'It looks a substantial field and the winner of the Superlative will always go on to do good things – you usually see them end up in the Dewhurst.' Wild Desert is Appleby's other runner, who having won by five lengths on his debut was then beaten under a penalty last time out by another stablemate in Pacific Avenue. George Boughey's Moonfall finished behind two other Appleby juveniles on his first two outings before opening his account at Newbury. Boughey told Star Sports: 'The programme fits itself for a horse like him. He's rated 90, and we'd like to try to turn him into a stakes horse. He could have gone to the nursery at Goodwood, but his work has been very solid. 'He's a horse who wants seven furlongs and he's just ready to run again. I thought waiting three weeks for Goodwood was probably too long, so I'm looking forward to seeing him step up in grade here.'
