Race Tip

MAIN DEFENDER (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 1m at Turffontein Standside with this rider Gavin Lerena engaged. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from four starts. Among the leading chances. MELECH (3) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better in the G3 Merchants at Turffontein Standside over 5¾f, beaten 1.3 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. In the mix over the longer journey. GIMME A SHOT (4) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing fourth over 5¾f at Turffontein Standside nine weeks ago. Makes plenty of appeal. MERCANTOUR (5) made progress last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 7f at Turffontein Standside. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
