Gavin Smith saddles Sacred Ibis in Race 5 today (Pic- Pauline Herman)
Jimmy The Rich writes that Alan Greeff saddles Castello Campanula in Race 1 and she is the best bet on the card.
She produced a promising debut effort over 1000m on the polytrack, six weeks ago.
She was slow into stride, but the manner in which she stayed on at the finish was encouraging.
The daughter of Flower Alley would have gained from the experience and will love the extra furlong on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, she should take a power of beating.
Sacred Ibis from the Gavin Smith stable takes her place in Race 5. She finished 2.25 lengths behind Cana last time.
She is 3kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned.
She is back against her own sex this afternoon and may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
K Minnie, S Naidoo, C Maujean, M Mjoka and D Bogaleboile will not be riding today with the stipes permission.
The false rail is at 5m of zero to the 1200m, increasing to 11m to the 800m mark and decreasing to 9m with a 2,5m spur to 7m.
