Trainer Tyrone Zackey may be the trainer worth following this afternoon and he saddles Solo Diva in Race 4.
She had to overcome a wide draw in her last start over this course and distance. Her first two career outings on the Turffontein Inside course were encouraging. The daughter of Skitt Skizzle meets the right field and from her good draw of three, she can shed her maiden tag.
American Star from the Zackey yard takes his place in Race 5. He produced a fair debut effort over 1300m. He jumped inwards leaving the start, but the manner in which he finished off his race was encouraging.
The son of What A Winter found betting support that day which suggests that he was showing good work at home. He would have gained from the experience and will love the rise to the mile. With the natural improvement that is expected, he may be the one to beat.
