Turffontein plays host to an eight-race programme on the Inside course this afternoon.
The first is due off at 12h20 with the lucky last set for 16h25.
A reminder to take the free-to-play Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge on both today’s local racemeetings.
Jockey Raymond Danielson takes the ride on Choisaanada for Erico Verdonese (Pic – Chase Liebenberg)
Trainer Erico Verdonese sends out Choisaanada in Race 1 and he should give punters a good start to the day.
He produced a promising debut effort over 1160m on the Standside course. He was green in running, but the way he finished off his race was eye-catching.
The son of Querari would have gained from the experience and should love the extra distance on offer.
If not in need of the run and with Raymond Danielson on board, he should be the one to beat.
Apache Son from the Tyrone Zackey stable takes his place in Race 4.
He is better than his last start as he lost two lengths leaving the start and was reported to be not striding out.
It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He won his previous two outings well.
The son of The Apache will love the rise to 2000m and if getting a clean start, he can return to winning ways.
Race: 5 No: 11 Johnny Hero had a 210 day break due to being rested.
