Lotus Island (Richard Fourie) looks a banker today (Pic – Pauline Herman)
Trainer Alan Greeff sends out Lotus Island in Race 4 and she is the possible Pick 6 banker. She has won her last two starts with ease.
She lost a length leaving the start last time but quickened up well and won with a ton in hand.
She received an eight-pound penalty for that victory. She is in a good space and from pole position, she should bring up the hat-trick.
Dynalley from the Tara Laing stable takes his place in Race 7. He should have finished closer to the winner last time as he had no luck in the straight.
The son of Flower Alley is having his third run in the Eastern Cape and will be at peak fitness.
He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from his wide draw and with luck in running, he can cause the upset.
