The weekend’s racing closes off today with an eight-race programme at Turffontein Racecourse.
There are two feature races on the day, including the Listed Wolf Power 1600 and the Non-Black Type Allez France Stakes.
We have an early start to racing with the first due off at 11h40.
Mike de Kock saddles Al Muthana in Race 7 which is the Listed Wolf Power 1600. He was given a peach of a ride when winning his last start over this distance on the Vaal Classic course.
Al Muthana
The son of Deep Field has always shown that he has class about him and he has matured nicely. He has won on this course in the past and with Muzi Yeni in the irons, he can notch up his fifth career victory.
Leeson from the Lucky Houdalakis yard may be the horse to close off the meeting. He was settled at the rear of the field over 1450m on the Vaal Classic course last time. The manner in which he ran on at the business end caught the eye.
The son of Ideal World steps back up to the mile and if not too far out of his ground turning for home, he can return to winning ways.
