Jockey Richard Fourie has some very good mounts this Friday and the pick of them could be Kleinzee, who runs in Race 5, a MR 76 Handicap over 1600m.
The meeting is carded to be run on the turf and it is worth noting that Kleinzee has won her last four starts, and they were all on the Polytrack.
The Gimmethegreenlight filly has won all four of those starts since joining trainer Alan Greeff, and they have been full of merit. Kleinzee did win twice on the grass earlier in her career, so that should calm those fears.
She does, however, continue to add to her merit rating with those wins and is at a career-high mark of 90. She will be giving weight to all her rivals.
Fourie has sat on the four-year-old filly twice and won both times.
The feature of the afternoon is Race 7, the Champion Juvenile Cup (Listed), and of the eight runners carded, trainer Alan Greeff has five of them, Dean Smith has two and Kelly Mitchley has a sole entrant.
Greeff, having five runners, would suggest that the best of them could be Chatterbox, with Richard Fourie possibly on the right one. This well-bred filly has only had two starts so far.
The Canford Cliffs filly was well backed to win on debut in a feature race. Inexperience was shown and she proved no match on the day for unbeaten Marchland.
That was back in March and Chatterbox was next seen when scoring very easily on the Polytrack in May over 1000m. Chatterbox quickened nicely that day and the runner-up has won since.
Fourie has been aboard all five of the Greeff winners, so he will have a good idea of who is the best of them and how he can get the best out of Chatterbox.
Rival and Champion Jockey-elect Craig Zackey has also ridden and won on both of the Smith-trained runners, and he rides Global Thriller and not Just Carter.
That is a very interesting choice, as Just Carter quickened nicely last time out and should contest the finish yet again.
Jockey Andrew Fortune likes upstaging his more fancied stable companions, so one must take note of his ride, Gimmethatworldcup. The gelding impressed when winning his second start and could be anything.
