The countdown to one of the Eastern Cape’s biggest race days, Derby Day, begins at Fairview in Port Elizabeth on Friday.
Race 6 on the programme of nine races is the Derby Plate for three-year-olds over 2 000m. This could give us an indication of which horses to keep an eye on in the Derby on May 12.
There is also a competitive Conditions Plate for fillies and mares over 1 200m to look forward to.
Race 5 is a Pinnacle Stakes for fillies and mares over 2 400m.
Fly Emirates returns to the track in this race after a break of 79 days. She should be too good for the rest, with Audrey Rose her biggest danger.
It has not been easy to find the winners in the last couple of PE meetings, but we did just that with our best bet paying R4,50 at Arlington on Wednesday.
With rain around we could be in for some more rough results, so play carefully.
Now go to my tips!
