Piere Strydom – form jockey with three decent rides today (Pic – Chase Liebenberg)
Lead The Charge from the Mike and Adam Azzie stable takes his place in Race 3. He has good consistent form lines to his credit.
He raced from just off the pace over this distance on the Inside course last time and stayed on to finish third.
The son of Lancaster Bomber gets the services of Piere Strydom and he can notch up his third-career victory.
Trainer Sean Tarry sends out Paisley Park in Race 7. He showed good signs of a form return in his last start over 1200m at the Vaal.
He lost a length leaving the start but stayed on nicely to finish fourth. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked.
He is having his peak run this afternoon and on best form shown, he can return to winning ways.
