Ten races are carded on the Fairview Polytrack this afternoon. There are two feature races including the Listed WSB East Cape Derby which is now run over 2200m and the Listed Dahlia Plate.
The first is due off at 11h50.

He showed good speed before winning the Listed East Cape Nursery with ease last time. The son of Visionaire is now unbeaten from two starts over this course and distance. He is a horse with class and should be hard to catch in the run down to the line.
Mr Bodacious from the Gavin Smith stable takes his place in Race 9. He finished 1.1 lengths behind Pashtunwali last time.
He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He has won once, finished second once and third once from four starts on this course. He is likely to use his early gate speed to overcome his wide draw of ten and may be hard to peg back.
Smanga Khumalo is not riding today.
