Lerena told Gold Circle Media Centre Racing Analyst, Warren Lenferna, that he is scheduled to undergo final x-rays today and he is hoping to get the medical go ahead to take up his carded two rides at the Vaal on Thursday.
He is confident of getting the approval following his x-rays.
Gavin’s biokineticist is happy with his progress and the strength of his shoulder, suggesting that the bone won’t be 100% healed but it should almost be.
“I am looking forward to a good and positive outcome,” reported Lerena.
Gavin has been riding work for four weeks already and feels strong and fit enough to start riding in races.
He is looking forward to Thursday and cannot wait to get back into the saddle and be competitive in races.
Gavin has decided to take only one or two rides for the first few meetings back, to allow himself to ease back into full swing.
