Jockey Craig Zackey takes the ride on Gimme’s Lassie for Gavin Smith in Race 4 (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
Hollywoodbets-sponsored Trainer Gavin Smith sends out Gimme’s Lassie in Race 4. She has consistent form lines to her credit. She stayed on when fifth over this distance on the turf last time.
It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. She finished third in her only attempt on this course.
The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight drops in class and with jockey Craig Zackey aboard she can return to winning ways.
Chere For Me from the Jacques Strydom stable takes her place in Race 3. She finished 2.75 lengths behind Essential last time.
She is 3kgs better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish. She finished 1.85 lengths behind Strange Magic in her penultimate run.
She is 6.5kgs better off at the weights today and should turn the form around. Philasande Mxoli is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most.
