With all the attention focussed at Kenilworth today, a nine-race programme is scheduled for Turffontein this afternoon.
Jockey Marco van Rensburg who has ridden 28 winners this season looks to have a decent book of rides and may be worth following throughout the day.
The first race is off at 12h45 and the meeting closes at 17h20.
Queen Supreme goes out for the Mike de Kock stable in race 7 today. (Pic-Chae Liebenberg))
Jimmy The Rich writes that Queen Supreme from the powerful Mike de Kock stable is the best bet on the day.
She found one too good in the form of War Of Athena in the Grade 2 World Sports Betting Ipi Tombe Challenge last time. The 5yo mare has won twice, finished second twice and third twice from seven starts on this course.
She is the best weighted runner in this contest and should take a power of beating.
Candice Dawson saddles Var Aglow in Race 8. He was a tad disappointing last time over the minimum trip at the Vaal.
He raced from just off the pace and didn’t go on with his effort. The run that catches the eye is when finishing 1.1 lengths behind Phinda Mzala, three runs ago.
He is 9.5kgs better off at the weights today and if repeating that effort, he should be the one to beat.
The false rail is 6m on the back straight to 10m on the bend. There is a 10m spur at the 700m mark.
