Greg Cheyne – another good day on the cards
Bobby Bean writes that the 4yo gelding, who is a son of Soft Falling Rain, looks to have enjoyed a new lease on life since changing stables and moving to Port Elizabeth, having won four in a row.
Jockey Greg Cheyne who has won on him twice, jumps aboard today and from a good inside draw, the pair should be too good for this field.
Cheyne’s rides today:
- Carlino(1)
- Frosty Rain(2)
- Marmara Sea(3)
- Moonlightstranger(5)
- Mio Grande(6)
- Sullenberger(7)
- Bloom(8)
The value bet of the day comes up in Race 1 with Curious. This 4yo gelding is seldom far off the action.
In his first start on the polytrack last time he lost three lengths at the start and still managed to finish in third. Jockey Lukas Bester retains the ride and the pair should be right there in the run down to the line.
MJ Byleveld will not be riding today.
The false rail is 3m out at the 421 m mark.
