Richard Fourie retains the ride on Que Shiraz today (Pic- Candiese Lenferna)
Jimmy The Rich writes that Que Shiraz from the Justin Snaith stable takes his place in Race 3.
He set the pace in his last start over 1600m and fought hard to keep all challengers at bay.
He takes a drop in class and despite his big mass of 62kgs, he should be too good for this field. It is encouraging that Richard Fourie retains the ride.
Vida Futura can give the Snaith camp a double in Race 5. He finished 0.2 lengths behind Exceeder last time.
He is 1kg better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned.
Grant van Niekerk takes the ride this afternoon and the pair should find themselves in the winner’s enclosure.
Bernard Fayd’herbe will not be riding today as he is medically indisposed.
