Trainer Alan Greeff sends out Fairy Knight in Race 4 and he is the best bet on the programme. He has finished second in his last two starts, the latest over a mile, just a neck behind the winner.
He tried to go from jump to wire that day and was only grabbed in the shadow of the post.
Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Richard Fourie knows the colt well and will be hoping to go one better today.
Then In Focus from the Gavin Smith stable takes his place in Race 6.
He was slow away but stayed on well to finish third last time out over 1800m, 1.75 lengths behind the winner and on that effort.
He should have little issue coping with the extra distance and will have 4kgs taken off his back thanks to his claiming apprentice Kobeli Lihaba.
Jockeys Dennis Schwarz and Eldin Webber will not be riding today.
