Viv Greybe: Lightly raced one-time winner Salimah, out of Dennis Drier’s stable, showed vast improvement last time when teamed up with busy in-form jockey Warren Kennedy and the combination could make further progress on Sunday when contesting Race 6 and top-rated event at the Greyville Polytrack, a MR 84 Handicap (F&M) over 1000m.

Viv Greybe: Top-flight jockey Anton Marcus, who made six visits to the winner’s enclosure in his last two meetings at Greyville, has a bright chance to improve on that tally on Friday night on the Polytrack with an outstanding book of rides on an eight-event card.

Jack Milner: It appears the introduction of Assessment Plates may have had a bigger impact than expected. While the concept was to help handicappers assess an accurate merit rating for runners, because of the way they have worked out, they have also supplied some really good betting opportunities for punters.

Viv Greybe: Justin Snaith-trained Jailhouse Rock, who has come along smartly since being rested, looks ready to post his first feature event win on Wednesday when teamed up with the stable’s frontline jockey Richard Fourie for the first time in Race 6, the Settlers Trophy MR 94 Handicap over 1400m, at Durbanville.

Mike Moon: In a change to the race meeting schedule, Port Elizabeth hosts the Tuesday meeting this week. One thing that stays the same, however, is the ever-fierce competition on the Fairview Polytrack.
