A competitive nine-race programme kicks off in the Mother City at Durbanville today, where the Mother City awoke to clear blue skies.
The first race on the card starts at 12h00 and the lucky last will close off proceedings at 16h45.
The Andre Nel stable send out His Choice who competes in Race 4.
Bobby Bean writes that this son of Trippi made an eye-catching debut at the country course.
He was slow out of the starting stalls that day but the manner in which he finished off his race was really positive. It must be noted the form of that race has been franked.
He is bred to enjoy the step up in trip and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should take a power of beating in this contest. Also, it is encouraging that Aldo Domeyer has kept faith in the ride.
The Justin Snaith camp send out First Street who participates in Race 7.
The daughter of Pathfork finished well in this class at Kenilworth last time out.
She finished runner-up that day behind a progressive sort (Our Prized Jewel) and looks fairly-handicapped with just 55kgs to shoulder. She performs well with Richard Fourie in the saddle and the pair should find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.
Apprentice Joshwin Solomons has ridden his 20th winner will now claim 2.5kg’s
Aldo Domeyer is medically Indisposed and will not ride today.
