The last meeting of 2021 takes place on the polytrack at Fairview Racecourse this afternoon.
Eight races are carded with the first due off at 12h35.
Jimmy The Rich writes that Hollywoodbets-sponsored trainer Gavin Smith saddles Mr Linebreaker in Race 2 and he is the best bet on the card.
He has shown good improvement since relocating to the Eastern Cape.
He fought hard in his last start over this course and distance, but found one too good in the form of Grace From Above.
The son of William Longsword jumps from pole position this afternoon and can go one better.
Euphoric from the Jacques Strydom stable represents decent each way value in Race 6. He finished 0.75 lengths behind El Romiachi last time.
He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. Three of his five career victories have come over this distance.
He is having his peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. Tatenda Musekiwa retains the ride and the combination should find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.
