Prime Example from the Ashley Fortune stable takes his place in Race 6 and he is the best bet on the card. He received a bump when leaving the start over 1800m, ran on but found one too good in the form of Otto Luyken.
The son of Canford Cliffs should be at home over this distance. He is the best horse in the race and with Samuel Mosia in the saddle, he should take a power of beating.
Trainer Shaylen Naidoo saddles Carnelo in Race 7. He has finished second in his last two starts, the latest of which was over this course and distance.
He was running on too late last time and found one too good in the form of Global Approach. The tongue-tie seems to have done the trick and he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure with Tshepiso Matsoele.
