Cliff Hanger (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
Trainer Johan Janse van Vuuren sends out Cliff Hanger in Race 6 and he is the possible Pick 6 banker. He ran a good race when second over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time. He raced from just off the pace but was caught late by Ready To Charge.
The son of Canford Cliffs would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. In this line-up, he can go one better.
Twice As Wild from the Grant Maroun stable may be the horse to close off the meeting.
She showed signs of needing her last start over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course. She would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter.
The daughter of Twice Over is back against her own sex and with just 54.5kgs on her back, she can notch up her second career victory.
Jockey Juan Paul Van Der Merwe will not be riding today.
