Race 3: JOHNNY THE THIEF (8)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: M Odendaal
On paper, this looks to be a two-horse race between JOHNNY THE THIEF and MEDAL OF FREEDOM. The former from the MJ Odendaal yard is the first selection. The manner in which he finished off his last start over 1750m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville catches the eye. The son of Time Thief is a progressive type and with Richard Fourie in the saddle, he may be the one to beat.
Race 4: NATIONAL DREAM (3)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: A Wright
NATIONAL DREAM has won his last two starts over this C&D with ease. He has taken the lead at the 300m mark on both those occasions and won easier than the official margin suggests. The son of Rafeef may still be ahead of the handicapper and he is in a good space. Keagan de Melo rides once again and he should notch up the hat-trick.

Race 7: ICE STAR (7)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: F Habib
ICE STAR was an easy winner of her last start over 1200m on this course. She raced from a handy position, quickened up well and won going away. The daughter of William Longsword has class about her and she can follow up
Race 5: WHAT A TIGER (8)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: F Habib
WHAT A TIGER showed good speed over this distance on the Vaal Classic course last time, found another kick and drew clear of the opposition. The son of What A Winter received a two-pound penalty for that victory. He is in a good space and if all went well with his travels, he can follow up.

Race 8: PARMENION (5)
Jockey: R Venniker – Trainer: G Puller
PARMENION ran a fair race in the Non-Black Type Bloomhill Stud KZN Breeders 1600 last time. He has won twice and finished third twice from six starts over this C&D. The son of Crusade returns to Handicap Company and with Rachel Venniker taking the 1.5kgs off his back, he can notch up his third career victory.
