Calvin Habib and Tony Peter have proven a formidable duo (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
Gorgeous Klein from the Tony Peter stable should give punters a good start to the day.
He ran a good race when second in his first run for the Tony Peter stable. He found one too good in the form of One More that day.
The son of One World would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter.
Calvin Habib retains the ride and the combination should find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.
Trainer Paul Matchett saddles On Cue in Race 6. She ran a good race when third over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time.
She has won twice, finished second twice and third once from six starts over this course and distance.
The daughter of Oratorio is having her peak run today and she is the stable elect with Philasande Mxoli in the saddle.
She can notch up her sixth-career victory.
