Jimmy The Rich writes that Celtillus from the in-form Alan Greeff stable takes his place in Race 3 and he is the possible Pick 6 banker.
He won a good race in his last start over 1400m on this course. It must be noted that Al Qaasim has come out and won since.
He has won twice and finished third once from four starts over this distance.
The blinkers get fitted for the first time and if the headgear has the desired effect, he should notch up his fifth career victory.
Duncan McKenzie saddles Mhlabeni in Race 8 and he may be the horse to close off the meeting.
He has run three decent races since winning his maiden. He was unlucky in his last start as he was bumped at the 300m mark.
The son of Elusive Fort won his maiden over this distance and with a bit of luck in running, may be the one to beat.
