Three-year-old colt My Best Shot is improving and was a good third behind some decent runners last time at Fairview over 1400m on 26 July.
The Fire Away colt found betting support and made good late progress when third and only 0.35 lengths behind Makazole.
My Best Shot has won two of his last four starts and was impressive in those wins.
Both were over this distance on the turf and My Best Shot was only third when trying the Polytrack in April.
Jockey Sean Veale replaces regular pilot Richard Fourie again on Friday and his style of giving patient rides could work again on this colt in Race 8, a MR 80 Handicap.
Earlier on the card, in Race 4, a MR 70 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1400m, Ellorix could provide some value. She proved a bitter disappointment when trained in the Western Cape but has adjusted herself well under the care of trainer Alan Greeff and won easily last time out.
It was a weak race and she was expected to win but with the confidence that success will have given her, she could give Veale an early winner.
Trainer Tara Laing has her runners in fine form and Timbavati River should run well in Race 7, a MR 80 Handicap over 1400m.
The six-year-old gelding has already won twice this year and was not disgraced when fourth last time out over a bit further, but the six-year-old gelding has won over this course and distance.
