Race Tip

FATHER CHRISTMAS (1) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 2. 5 lengths over 7f at Greyville. Craig Zackey who has two wins when partnering stays on. Expecting a bold showing. NEVER NEVER LAND (2) is back at the races for the first time since April 2. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 6f at Turffontein Inside. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. AQUARIUS (5) has not appeared since she finished fourth over 7f at Greyville on April 11. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. OKLAHOMA SMOKESHOW (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in third over 7¼f at Turffontein Inside. Finds a nice race and can secure another top-three finish.
