Lerena can get off to a flying comeback in the Cape

Champion jockey Gavin Lerena makes his return to racing at Hollywoodbets Durbanville today after a much-debated suspension and he can get out of the blocks with a bang when he gets aboard aptly named Meet The King.

This Justin Snaith-trained son of Master Of My Fate lines up in a Maiden Plate over 1400m and now having his third run after jumping from No 4 draw, looks ideally placed to notch up his first win.

He has been easy to back in both of his outing, going off at 66-1 on debut and at 25-1 in his second outing. However, his generous price last time, over 1250m at this course, belied his performance as he ran on well enough to finish a 2.05-length third behind Gold Giboski.

The winner looks to be reasonably decent so in what looks to be a weak field, and going over a little further his time, the three-year-old gelding looks the runner to beat.
