Trainer Mike de Kock will have been disappointed with the performance of Greaterix in the Grade 2 Betway Dingaans on Saturday but he could get some consolation at Turffontein tomorrow with a double in Races 5 and 6.
Unbeaten Heather's Boy will line up in Race 5, a Graduation Plate over 1600m on the Standside track, and he looks to be one of the standout bets on the nine-race card.
The three-year-old Rafeef colt has won both his races and his first win has turned out to be one of the strongest form lines around with four out of seven runners going on to win their next starts.
His second win has also produced a winner so all the talk that is going around seems to have been substantiated.
Perhaps the best indicator is that De Kock has nominated both him and Greaterix to run in the Grade 1 Cape Guineas over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday 14 December.
Heather's Boy won a course-and-distance handicap in his last start, giving weight and a beating to subsequent winner Bacchus.
