COMPUTAFORM SPRINT (Grade 1) - CAPTAIN OF ALL has the class to win against strong field

COMPUTAFORM SPRINT (Grade 1) - CAPTAIN OF ALL has the class to win against strong field

This race has attracted most of the best sprinters in the country. The Dennis Drier sprinter, CAPTAIN OF ALL, heads the field for this Grade 1 sprint over the 1000m at Turffontein. He has won five from his nine starts. His last win at Scottsville last time was super impressive and left his field stone cold. He looks the one to beat. His biggest threat could be ALBORAN SEA, who beat him by half a length in the Cape Flying Championship in January. Today he meeting him on 1½kg better terms. Don't write off the chances of ALBORAN SEA as he does have class and has won this C & D. Trainer Mike De Kock will have him finely tuned for this race.

There are a host of horses with cases  to suggest that they could win this race. FLY BY NIGHT was well beaten by ALBORAN SEA in the Cape Flying Championship. The Mike Bass yard has done well in Gauteng this season and can expect a very good run. He has very good form over the 1000m.

The much travelled Port Elizabeth runner, COPPER PARADE, is unbeaten this C & D (2 from 2). he has tasted victory in this race before and is one to be wary of. Gavin Lerena, who rode him last time in PE rides him again this afternoon.

 TRIP TEASE is also unbeaten this C & D (3 from 3). This son of TRIPPI is top class and goes for his hat trick this afternoon.

1st -  CAPTAIN OF ALL (1); 2nd - ALBORAN SEA (13); 3rd - FLY BY NIGHT (12); 4th - COPPER PARADE (2); 5th - TRIP TEASE (3)
