Mitchley holds a strong hand

»Launch Code could provide good value in Race 5.

Trainer Kelly Mitchley can provide bettors with best bet on a tricky card at Fairview tomorrow when they race on the Polytrack.

Mitchley, who finished third on the trainers' log last season, has some competitive runners on the card but can be on the mark with Torix Night who lines up in Race 3, a Maiden Plate over 1900m.

Torix Night showed potential in KwaZulu-Natal but was kept to shorter distances and did not seem to be progressing. In his last start in the province, he was finally tried over distance on the Polytrack and finished a respectable 1.55 lengths behind improving Code Of Conduct, demonstrating his need for further.

It was an encouraging run,and back on the Polytrack after a close-up local debut effort on the turf, he should have every chance.
