Jack Milner: Fitness is the issue with which bettors will have to contend when looking for the winner of Race 6 at Turffontein on Saturday, a Pinnacle Stakes over 1800m on the Inside track.

Brendan Gaillard: The five-year-old Ontario gelding Beethoven has been running unplaced for a long time but put in a noteworthy performance last time out and could be worth a wager in Race 5 on the Fairview Polytrack on Friday.

Jack Milner: Champion trainer Sean Tarry has the new season off to a very respectable start with a 20% win rate and he and jockey Raymond Danielson can add another winner to their tally when Silver Spectrum lines up in Race 7 on the Vaal Classic track on Thursday.

Ken Nicol: Lightly raced Ultra Magnus could not have been more impressive last time, and despite facing far stronger can be expected to take a lot of beating in the Progress Plate over 1200m at Greyville on Wednesday.

Bonginkosi Nkosi : Sometimes it is not about who you beat, but rather how you beat them.

Brendan Gaillard: Satin Rock may have finished sixth last time out but was only 3.75 lengths behind Bright Flame and that form could be good enough to win Race 7, a FM 82 Handicap over 1300m at Flamingo Park on Monday.
