Divine Odyssey from the Johan Janse van Vuuren yard takes his place in the Non-Black Type Fairview 1900. He ran a cracker when finishing fourth in the Grade 1 Betway Summer Cup at Turffontein last time.
It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He has won twice from three starts on this course. Chase Maujean retains the ride and if all went well with his travels, he should be too good for this field.
Hollywoodbets-sponsored trainer Gavin Smith sends out Duke Of Orange in Race 5. He showed some signs of a form return in his last start over this course and distance.
He should have finished closer to the winner that day as he hung in the closing stages. The son of Duke Of Marmalade has dropped in the ratings and takes a drop in class. If keeping on a straight line, he is capable of returning to winning ways.
Please note that E Webber will not be riding today.
