Trainer Corrie Lensley sends out Sonic Jet in Race 7. She was an easy winner of her last start on the Classic course.
She set the pace, found another kick and drew clear of the opposition. The daughter of Erupt is unbeaten from two starts over this course and distance.
She carries a handy galloping mass of 55kgs and can follow up with another victory. Jockey Kabelo Matsunyane takes the ride.
Pearl In Her Crown from the Fanie Bronkhorst stable takes her place in Race 9. She has shown signs of needing her last two starts on the Turffontein Inside course.
It must be noted that the horse that finished second in her last outing has come out and won since.
She has won once and finished third once from as many starts over this course and distance. Muzi Yeni retains the ride and she can notch up her second-career victory.
