Jockey Piere “Striker” Strydom is back in his home town on Friday and could strike in the main race at Fairview in Port Elizabeth.
The main race on the card is the Oaks Plate for three-year-old fillies over 1 800m where Striker will be trying with the lightly raced Sylvan Spirit, to beat Scented Ash, who is trained by Yvette Bremner.
Scented Ash will be looking for her third win in a row after impressive victories in the Breeders Guineas Plate and Breeders Guineas.
Strydom will be in action for trainer Alan Greeff today. The Greeff yard is on form and had three winners at Arlington on Monday.
With Strydom having a wonderful season and on his way to another national jockeys’ title, this combination cannot be ignored at Fairview.
Also remember that the KwaZulu-Natal Champions season starts on Saturday at Greyville in Durban.
The biggest interest will be in the performance of Cape Town Noir, one of the early favourites to win the Vodacom Durban July on July 6.
