Eight races are scheduled at Turffontein this afternoon.
KZN based jockey Keagan de Melo makes his way to Gauteng and he has a full book of rides, a few of which have a decent chance of winning.
The first race is due off at 12h55.

Jimmy The Rich writes that Hollywoodbets-sponsored trainer Stuart Pettigrew saddles Castletown in Race 2.
He was not disgraced when finishing 1.8 lengths behind the winner in the Gr 2 Golden Horseshoe last time.
It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The son of Silvano looks to have class and should be too good for this field.
Willo’thewisp from the Paul Matchett stable takes his place in Race 5. His last three starts against stronger company have been decent.
It must be noted that the form of his last outing has been franked.
The 5yo gelding takes a drop in class and with a bit of luck from his awkward draw, he should return to winning ways.
Brian Nyawo will not be riding today due to family responsibilities.
Julius Mariba will not be riding as his license has not been renewed.
The false rail is at 2m on the back straight to 5,5m on the bend with a 5,5m spur at the 700m mark.
