Can Gavin Lerena and Time Fo Orchids maintain their winning form today? (Pic – 4Racing)
Trainer Johan Janse van Vuuren sends out Time Fo Orchids in Race 5 and she is the best bet on the programme.
She is a winner of her last three starts. She quickened up well in a small field last time and won with a ton in hand.
She is a class above the rest of this field and despite her big mass of 62kgs, she should take a power of beating.
This daughter of Time Thief teams up with Jockey Gavin Lerena again and the winning duo may pull off another victory… watch the replay of their last win at Turffontein…
Home Of The Brave from the Tyrone Zackey stable takes his place in Race 7.
He stayed on when sixth in his last start over 1500m on the Inside course.
He has won twice and finished third twice from as many starts over this distance.
With a bit of luck from his awkward draw of eight, he can notch up his fourth-career victory.
