Jockey Chad Little takes the ride on Grand Allegroin the second (Pic – Chase Liebenberg)
Grand Allegro from the Kelly Mitchley stable takes his place in Race 2. He has finished second in his last two starts over 1200m on this course.
He raced from a handy position last time and fought hard all the way to the line.
The son of Global View should be ideally suited to 1300m and can shed his maiden tag.
Chad Little takes the ride.
Trainer Alan Greeff sends out Heemstede in Race 4. He was super-impressive when winning his maiden over this course and distance.
That was his first attempt on this surface, and he was 0.13 seconds away from the course record.
It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since.
Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Xolani Ndlovu is likely to use his early gate speed to overcome the wide draw and he may be hard to peg back.
