Racing takes place at Fairview Racecourse this afternoon with the first on an eight-race programme due off at 12h40.
Don’t forget to take today’s free-to-play Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge and tip your way to the top of today’s leaderboard.
Trainer Alan Greeff sends out St Cloud in Race 7 and she is the possible Pick 6 banker.
She ran on strongly when winning her last start over this distance on the polytrack. She received a five-pound penalty for that victory.
The daughter of Silvano won her only attempt on this course. She jumps from pole position and should take a power of beating.

Sporting Post rider Louis Mxothwa – ride Vegas Gold today (Pic – Chase Liebenberg)
Vegas Gold from the Gavin Smith stable takes his place in Race 6. He showed signs of needing his last start over this course and distance.
It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since.
The son of Var would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Luyolo Mxothwa is in the saddle and he can notch up his seventh career victory.
