Race 1: BACK TO THE FUTURE (4)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: P Matchett
BACK TO THE FUTURE ran a good race when second over 1400m at Turffontein last time. She raced from a handy position, moved up well but was caught late by Silver Hills. The daughter of Erupt meets the right field this afternoon and with S’manga Khumalo in the saddle, she should be the one to beat.

Race 2: CELTIC RUMOURS (10)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: S Tarry
CELTIC RUMOURS was running on strongly when third over 1200m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Vercingetorix is progressive and she will love the rise to 1450m. From pole position, she should throw out a big challenge to her male rivals.
Race 3: BATTLEGROUND (3)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: M Houdalakis
BATTLEGROUND cost himself winning last time as he shifted away from the crop in the final 150m. He returns from a 13-week break, during which time he was gelded. The son of Futura should have no issues with the rise to 1800m and if keeping on a straight line, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 6: TIRPITZ (6)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: B Crawford
Trainer Brett Crawford holds a strong hand in this contest and can saddle the first two past the post. TIRPITZ is the stable elect with jockey Kabelo Matsunyane in the saddle. He has produced four decent efforts since winning his maiden. It must be noted that the horse that finished second in his last outing has come out and won since. If keeping on a straight line, he can return to winning ways.

Race 7: UMTHOMBO WOLWAZI (5)
Jockey: M van Rensburg – Trainer: C Binda
UMTHOMBO WOLWAZI won a game race in his last start over this distance at Turffontein. He showed good speed and found extra where it matters most. The son of Elusive Fort received a six-pound penalty for that victory. Marco van Rensburg retains the ride and against similar company, he can follow up
