Trainer Mike de Kock sends out Heather’s Boy in Race 5 and he is the possible Pick 6 Banker.
He showed good guts and determination when winning his last start over this course and distance. It must be noted that Bacchus has come out and won since.
The son of Rafeef is progressive and looks to have plenty of class. He jumps from pole position and should remain unbeaten.
Boom Boom from the Fanie Bronkhorst stable takes her place in Race 8.
She took the lead at the 400m mark last time but was caught late.
She won her only attempt over this course and distance.
The daughter of Erupt takes a drop in class and from her good draw of three, she can notch up her fourth-career victory.
