The App Tik Tok is making a lot of people a lot of money if one can get a video to go viral and with the horse Captain Tik Tok running in Race 8 at Fairview on Friday, there is a possibility the five-year-old gelding could take out the last leg of the Pick 6 and make punters go home with full pockets.
Trainer Gavin Smith went through a quiet period by his standards last month, but he has had some winners this month and Captain Tik Tok should go close to winning this MR 74 Handicap over 1000m.
Jockey Craig Zackey gets the opportunity to score on the five-year-old gelding who won twice 10 months ago.
Captain Tik Tok returns from a break, but his trainer knows how to get them ready to win.
Earlier on this card in Race 4 the Smith trained Fateful Day could go close to winning a MR 96 Handicap over 1600m.
Fateful Day is probably at his very best on the Polytrack, but he has run well enough on the turf that could see a follow-up win, again with Zackey on the irons.
In Race 2, a Maiden Plate for fillies and mares over 1400m, Rainbow Rhythm makes her local debut for trainer Kelly Mitchley.
This four-year-old daughter of Danon Platina has run some decent races on the Highveld and her best effort came over 1450m when producing the fastest finish to end up a 2.75-length second to Higgledy Piggledy on the Inside track at Turffontein. While yet to win she always gives of her best and is clearly distance suited.
Muzi Yeni, who rode outsider Smart Star to victory last Saturday in the Grade 1 Singapore Gold Cup at Kranji Racecourse takes the ride on Rainbow Rhythm for the very first time.
