As is usually the case, the meeting promises competitive and interesting racing — with the standout contest appearing to be Race 3, a B Stakes over 1250m, which also serves as the start of the Pick Six.

Only six runners will face the starter, and a case can be made for all of them.

Punters will need to take a stance when structuring the first leg of the “big one” — either by banking or including most of the field.

Let’s start with Wing Walker from the Lucinda Woodruff yard, to be ridden by Callan Murray from the inside draw.

This son of Rafeef returns from a 12-week break, having just completed a successful KZN campaign where he reeled off an impressive hat-trick.

If not in too much need of the run, he could make a winning return to racing.
