Trainer Alan Greeff has been doing very well with the progeny of sire Canford Cliffs and his charge, the filly Strata is unbeaten in her two starts this year.
The four-year-old filly made her stable debut on the turf over 1000m on 14 February and beat Munchkin by 0.50 lengths. That was followed up with an easy win when stepped up to 1200m on 4 April.
Both times she was ridden by stable jockey Richard Fourie.
Strata runs in Race 5, a MR 76 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1000m on the Fairview Polytrack over 1000m on Friday.
Those two wins only carried a cost of six points and it is interesting to note that Strata won a handicap a year ago off the same handicap rating.
It is a competitive-looking race and she meets runners who are proven on the Polytrack.
Strata has yet to try this surface but jumping from pole position she could get the run of the race.
The Fourie-Greeff combination could also be on the mark in Race 8, a very competitive MR 68 Handicap over 1400m.
Well-bred filly Fire Alarm has been costly to follow but has her first crack at a handicap and she does not look harshly treated off a mark of just 74.
She has won on the surface and once again Fourie managed to crack the best draw.
