If the R20 million Pick 6 doesn’t pan out as expected, Jimmy The Rich writes that Dan The Lad in Race 10 is currently trading at 25/2 with Hollywoodbets and could provide a get-out ticket.
He should have finished much closer last time as he was baulked for a run at the 150m mark. He has won twice and finished second once from eight starts over this course and distance.
The 7yo gelding drops back to Handicap company this afternoon and with a bit of luck in running, he can get back to winning ways.
The Paul Matchett stable is in fine form which is a big plus.
Diego De Gouveia is not riding as he is medically indisposed.
The false rail is at zero on the back straight to 5m on the bend, with a 5m spur at the 700m mark.

- Jackpot 1 starts in the fifth race at 14h25
