DENNIS SCHWARZ
Magic School’s a banker
Bonginkosi Nkosi: Although the jockey-trainer combination of apprentice Dennis Schwarz and Gary Alexander have an impressive 33.33 % win-strike rate and an even higher 40% place-strike rate, they disappointed a few punters when failing to deliver Pick 6 banker See Me Run at Turffontein on Saturday.
WEIHO MARWING
Muzi can sail home
Brendan Gaillard: Jockey Muzi Yeni continues to ride winner after winner and if he can keep the filly Sail De Lago out of the kickback she should go close to winning Race 5, a FM 70 Handicap at Flamingo Park on Monday.
MICHAEL ROBERTS

Jack Milner: The problem facing punters in Race 6 at Greyville on Sunday, a Graduation Plate over 1200m on the Polytrack, is that the highest rated horses are all coming back from layoffs.

ALAN GREEFF
World Radar can prove rating
