Gavin Smith saddles Ancient Times in Race 2 today (Pic – Pauline Herman)
Jimmy The Rich writes Ancient Times from the Gavin Smith stable is the best bet on the card. His last three starts have been good.
He was slow into stride last time, but raced from a handy position and stayed on well. The son of Querari does not meet the strongest field and should shed his maiden tag.
The value bet comes in the last race in the form of Precious Stone who is making his stable debut for the Jacques Strydom yard.
His last two starts against stronger in Gauteng have been decent. It must be noted that the form of his last outing has been franked.
The son of Seventh Rock takes a drop in class and if suited to the polytrack, he can get back to winning ways.
The false rail is 3m out at the 421m mark.
