Barend Botes saddles Pretty Analia (Pic – Supplied)
Pretty Analia from the Barend Botes stable takes her place in Race 7. She stayed on when fourth over this distance at Turffontein last time.
She has won twice and finished second three times from 11 starts over this distance. The daughter of Captain Of All is back against her own sex.
Louis Nhlapo knows her well and she may be the one to beat.
Hollywoodbets-sponsored Trainer Candice Dawson sends out Pioneer Square in Race 4.
He lost a length leaving the start over 1400m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time but finished off his race strongly.
It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since.
The son of Querari tries further and from his good draw of three, he should take a power of beating.
Craig Zackey is not riding today.
