Trainer Sean Tarry sends out The Africa House today (Pic – Chase Liebenberg)
Trainer Sean Tarry sends out The Africa House in the Non-Black Type World Sports Betting Consolation. He ran a creditable race in the Gr2 Jonsson Workwear Dingaans despite reported to be not striding out and fatigued.
He was not disgraced when finishing fourth in his penultimate run in the Gr3 Betway Graham Beck Stakes.
The son of What A Winter is the best weighted runner in this contest, and he should take a power of beating.
Unzen from the Robbie Sage stable takes his place in Race 7.
He ran a good race when third in his last start over 1400m at Turffontein, despite the jockey reporting something to be amiss.
He is a horse with ability and should enjoy racing on the straight course. If putting his best foot forward, he can win a race of this nature.
