Race 3: FLYING FEATHER (1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: F De Beer
Although FLYING FEATHER underperformed last time while recovering from a trip to KZN, this Rebel King filly is expected to bounce back here. Her previous form was promising and the runner-up from that race, Western Shamrock, recently won her maiden race. Top jockey Gavin Lerena will be in the saddle.

Race 6: PRETTY BALLERINA (7)
Jockey: F Herholdt – Trainer: O Ferraris
PRETTY BALLERINA has revitalised her career alongside this experienced jockey. Recently, they finished a strong 3rd at the Vaal. Despite a weight increase of two pounds, she drops significantly in class and could outperform her rating.

Race 8: SLEEPINSEATTLE (4)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: E Verdonese
This seasoned campaigner, SLEEPINSEATTLE, impressed over a mile on this course last week despite racing wide. He is well drawn for his preferred trip today and with top jockey Gavin Lerena aboard, he is the horse to back.

Race 7: IRISH PRIDE (6)
Jockey: Weicho Marwing – Trainer: Janse van Vuuren
IRISH PRIDE has dropped significantly in the ratings and looks set to close the gap on the leader. Despite a wide run last time, this Ideal World gelding will have the advantage starting gate 2 and should thrive racing close to the pace.
