After the late cancellation of Race 3 last night, Turffontein will play host to a seven-race programme on the Standside course this afternoon.
The main event of the day is the Listed Betway Swallow Stakes run over 1160m. The first is due off at 12h20 with the lucky last set for 16h25.
Gavin Lerena takes the ride on Winds Of Change in Race 2 (Pic – Chase Liebenberg)
Winds Of Change from the Mike and Adam Azzie yard takes his place in Race 2 and he is the best bet on the card.
He is the highest rated maiden in South Africa. He was not disgraced when fifth in the Gr2 Durban Golden Horseshoe last time.
He returns from a 28- week break and makes his seasonal debut.
The son of What A Winter is back in maiden company and with Gavin Lerena in the saddle, he should take a power of beating.
Trainer Fanie Bronkhorst sends out One Party in Race 6.
She took on male company in her last start over 1400m on this course.
She finished third in both her efforts over this course and distance.
The daughter of One World is back against her own sex and from her outside draw, she can return to winning ways.
- Race: 7 – #5 POINTER – 149 day break – recovering from a left front lameness
