BRIDE'S DOWRY, well suited to the polytrack, looks the one to beat

JOCKEY CLUB STAKES (Listed) 3rd Leg Eastern Cape (F & M) Challenge - BRIDE'S DOWRY, well suited to the polytrack, looks the one to beat

The first feature race in this country for a while takes place on the Fairview polytrack this afternoon. It must be noted that the race has been moved from the turf to the polytrack for this meeting.

BRIDE'S DOWRY has been racing in this division in two of her last three and has good form with two wins in her last three runs. The Tara Laing yard has been in top form. She will be finishing well and is well suited to the distance. BRIDE'S DOWRY has won on the polytrack so a switch in track will not have any adverse effect and with a draw of two could be even harder to beat than at first meets the eye.

CAT AN THE MOON brings excellent Cape Town form to Port Elizabeth. The way in which she won her last two races on the turf at Kenilworth, either side of today's distance were impressive. The only concern could be whether she will take to the polytrack. Trainer Justin Snaith would not have sent to Port Elizabeth had he not had the confidence of a good run.

RARE STONE has good form, but on turf. Her two runs on the polytrack were not up to those on turf. Nevertheless she does stay on and can find a minor money placing at best.

ROCKIN THE DAISIES is inconsistent and takes on stronger than last time. Can fill a minor placing. She makes her PE debut and as a result has only raced on turf. She may be a filly that takes an instant liking to the polytrack.

DREAM TO REALITY is never too far back. She is versatile and can run equally well on both surfaces. If she decides to run on again this afternoon then she can certainly earn something. The drop in class should also suit.

1st - BRIDE'S DOWRY (2); 2nd - CAT AND THE MOON (1); 3rd - RARE STONE (11); 4th - ROCKIN THE DAISIES (10); 5th - DREAM TO REALITY (4)
