Jimmy The Rich writes that the powerful yard of Mike de Kock saddles Lilliana in Race 3.
She showed very good improvement against winners in her last start over 1400m at Turffontein.
That was her first start with the blinkers fitted. The daughter of Vercingetorix will love the step up to the mile and she should go one better here.
After saddling two winners at Turffontein on Sunday, Weiho Marwing sends Splash Of Green out in Race 5. She was not disgraced in the Gr1 Thekwini Stakes last time.
She was carried outwards at the 1500m mark that day, raced wide and understandably lacked a finish in the straight.
The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight makes her Handicap debut, but she carries a handy galloping mass of 52.5kgs. She looks to have plenty of scope and should be up to the task at hand.
Lyle Hewitson will not be riding today as he is medically indisposed.
The false rail is 3m on the back straight and 7m on the bend with a 5m spur at the 600m mark.
