The 4Racing Gr3 Sycamore Sprint is the main event on today’s nine-race programme at Turffontein.
The first race is due off at 12h20 with the lucky last set for 16h55. A reminder that selections for the free-to-play Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge must be in at least 5 minutes before the first is due off.

Brett and James Crawford send out Pomodoro’s Jet in Race 6. He has won his last two starts with ease.
He set the pace in the Listed Wolf Power 1600, found another kick and won with a ton in hand.
It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The cheekpieces have done the trick and he should be too good for this field.
Radicchio from the Barend Botes stable takes his place in Race 5. He finished 2 lengths behind Purple Pitcher last time.
He is 7kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned.
If keeping on a straight line, he can notch up his ninth-career victory.
