Hollywoodbets-sponsored trainer Candice Dawson sends out Houston in Race 7. He ran a good race when finishing second over 1500m on the Vaal Classic course last time.
The son of The United States should be at home over the 1600m. He jumps from a good draw of four and in this type of field, he can go one better.
Sequoia from the Mike de Kock yard takes his place in Race 6. He has fair recent form lines to his credit.
He has won once and finished third once from three starts on this course. The son of Querari takes a drop-in class and despite his big mass of 61.5kgs, he is capable of returning to winning ways.
Please note that R Simons will not be riding today.
