In-form Richard Fourie – another decent day ahead (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
Nellie Melba from the Peter Muscutt stable should give punters a good start to the day. She was doing her best work late when second over 1200m on this course last time.
The daughter of Oratorio is a progressive type and will love the step up to 1400m. From pole position, she should take a power of beating.
Hollywoodbets-sponsored Trainer Gareth van Zyl sends out Imilenzeyokududuma in the Listed Christmas Handicap.
He ran a decent race in his first run for the Gareth van Zyl stable. He stayed on to finish fourth over a distance short of his best.
He has won twice from three starts over this trip. He will strip a much fitter horse and with luck in running, he can notch up his fifth career victory.
