Louis Mxothwa and Cruise Control – can win again (Pic – Pauline Herman)
Hollywoodbets-sponsored Trainer Gavin Smith sends out Cruise Control in Race 5.
He showed plenty of speed when winning the Non-Black Type Speedsters Stakes last time.
He has won twice, finished second once and third once from eight starts over this distance.
The son of Querari is unbeaten under Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Luyolo Mxothwa and in this field, he should keep that record intact.
Tirpitz from the Alan Greeff stable takes his place in Race 6.
He is better than his last start on the polytrack. His penultimate run when fifth over 1400m on this course was encouraging.
The son of Silvano will love the return to the turf and he should be at peak fitness.
He takes a drop back in class and it would not be a surprise to see him win a race of this nature.
Charles Ndlovu is not riding as he cannot be located.
