Jimmy The Rich writes that trainer Juan Nel saddles Linguee in Race 3 and he is the best bet on the card. He showed some nice improvement in his last start over 2000m on the turf.
The manner in which he stayed on at the finish that day suggests that he will love the rise to 2200m.
He should strip a much fitter horse this afternoon and with Richard Fourie retaining the ride, he should be the one to beat.
Encryption from the Sharon Kotzen stable represents decent each way value in Race 6.
She raced from a handy position over 1400m on the turf last time, but found one too good in the form of Aqua Delta.
It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. The 5yo mare is back against her own sex this afternoon and can return to winning ways.
Francois Herholdt will not be riding today as he is medically indisposed.
Race 3 will now be run over 2200m. Races 5, 6 and 7 will be run over 1300m.
The false rail is 3m out at the 421m Mark.
