Trainer Andre Nel sends out Chance Encounter in the second (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
Chance Encounter from the Andre Nel stable takes his place in Race 2.
He produced a promising debut effort over this course and distance.
He took time to find his feet, but the way he finished off his race was eye-catching.
The well-bred son of Vercingetorix would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the one to beat.
Trainer Adam Marcus sends out Kelp Forest in Race 4.
He was not beaten far in his last start over this course and distance.
Three of his six career victories have come over this distance.
The son of Flower Alley drops in class and Aldo Domeyer steps into the saddle.
He has cracked pole position and can return to winning ways.
