Racing takes place on the Standside course at Turffontein this afternoon and eight races are carded.
Trainer Johan Janse van Vuuren sends out seven runners with a couple of decent winning chances.
The first is due off at 12h40. The Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge closes 5 minutes before the carded off-time of the first.
Simply Majestic (Gavin Lerena) withstand the late challenge of Famous Lady (S’manga Khumalo) to register her first stakes victory last time out – she can follow up today (Pic – JC Photos)Simply Majestic should give punters a good start to the day. She showed good speed when winning the Grade 3 TAB Pretty Polly Stakes over 1100m last time.
She finished 0.5 lengths behind Dantonfromsandton in her penultimate run. She is 1kg better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The daughter of Canford Cliffs should be hard to peg back.
Rainbow Reward takes his place in Race 7. He finished 1 length behind Dreamland last time.
He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has won once and finished second once from three starts over this course and distance.
Please note that Jockey Craig Zackey is not riding today.
