OISIN MURPHY
UK champ jockey denies taking cocaine after failed test

DANCE CLASS
Get a Gray Dance Class
Jack Milner: Dance Class will attempt to extend her win streak to seven when she lines up in Race 6, a Middle Stakes over 2400m on Thursday at the Vaal on the Classic course.
TRACK ATTACK
Track Attack to continue streak
Jack Milner: Dean Kannemeyer-trained Track Attack has started to come to form and still looks to be ahead of the handicapper.
SEAN TARRY
Tarry is on the right ‘Paige’

CANDICE BASS-ROBINSON
Harvey will not turn it up
Jack Milner: Candice Bass-Robinson makes the journey to Port Elizabeth on Monday with just two runners, and Turn It Up Harvey who contests Race 4, a Maiden Plate over 1600m, is likely to make the trip worthwhile.
DENNIS DRIER
Drier’s charge ready to rule

GIN FIZZ
Gin Fizz to provide the tonic
Jack Milner: Weight is reputed to “stop trains” but to what extent will it inhibit Gin Fizz in Race 5 at Turffontein on Saturday, a MR 102 Handicap over 1000m on the Inside track.
MARCO VAN RENSBURG
Drummer to hit the beat
Jack Milner: With Yvette Bremner calling it quits after the unrest of the grooms at her yard last week and all the horses having been moved to KwaZulu-Natal, Race 4 at Fairview today, the Racing Association Plate over 1400m on the Polytrack, has been well and truly decimated.
Dan best in open race
Jack Milner: There was a lot to like about Dan The Lad’s run last Saturday when finishing second behind Zouaves, beaten 1.40-length.
LINEAR
Linear in line for victory
Jack Milner: Linear has been coming up against some stiff opposition in her last three starts but will take a drop in class in Race 6 at Greyville on Wednesday when she contests a MR 94 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1000m on the Polytrack.
