King’s Express from the Fabian Habib stable takes his place in Race 6. He is a winner of his last two starts over 1800m.
The son of Pomodoro returns from a well-deserved 10-week break.
He is a horse with some class about him and if not in need of the run, he can bring up the hat-trick.
Jockey Muzi Yeni, under whom, King’s Express won his last two consecutive starts will be on board today.
Trainer Sean Tarry sends out Golden Operator in Race 4. He ran a cracker on debut over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Greyville.
He was green in running that day which may have cost him the victory. Craig Zackey was dislodged just after the line on that occasion.
The form has been franked and the son of Declarationofpeace would have gained from the experience and if not too green on this track, he should take a power of beating.
