Brendan Gaillard: The Irish-bred mare Sunshine Mint has sparkled under the care of trainer Alan Greeff and can pull off a hat-trick of wins and take Race 6, a FM 85 Handicap over 1200m, at Fairview on Friday.

Jack Milner: The second leg of the annual R50,000 Work Riders’ Challenge will take place at the Vaal on Thursday, which gives those people who work behind the scenes in racing a chance to show off their talents.

Ken Nicol: The hastily arranged Fairview polytrack meeting on Wednesday features a number of open contests.

Danie Toerien – Heavy rains have fallen over KwaZulu-Natal which has resulted in Sunday’s meeting having to be moved from Scottsville to Polytrack at Greyville.

Jack Milner – Sean Tarry has had a lot of success with horses out of the broodmare Bardot. Bichette and Pilou are by Western Winter, and Warrior’s Rest is by What A Winter. All three have won multiple races and have done well for their respective owners.

Germaine Maharaj – Luyolo Mxothwa has had a slim time of things recently having last scored a bit more than a month back but he rides a nice sort at Fairview on the Polytrack on Friday.
