TOP BET

Race 1: CARLITA(1)

Jockey: A Domeyer - Trainer: A Greeff 

The highly rated local CARLITA proved her worth with a smart last display in mixed company over this trip at Kenilworth on Met Day. She was 2nd best that day but was in turn just over two lengths in front of the next placed entrant and the eighth placed finisher Carioca has won since. This above average daughter of Oratorio is clearly worth following and top visiting jockey Domeyer rides for his dad who is part-owner.

Race 3: THE GOON SHOW(3)

Jockey: A Domeyer  - Trainer: G Kotzen 

The Cape visitor THE GOON SHOW reverts to sprinting after some weak form over further and the son of Pathfork could have a major say if reproducing his comeback effort behind Red Eight in the spring. Of course he tries blinkers on an unknown track today but his conditioner has raided with relative success in the past.

Race 5: OLLIVANDER(3)

Jockey: A Domeyer  - Trainer: C Bass-Robinson 

The Cape raider OLLIVANDER brings useful form into this contest, including producing a decent last display in the marathon reserve stayers event on Met Day. Of course he is no stranger to this city as he ran on to place 2nd in this season's Algoa Cup in the spring. The four-year old is 1.5kgs out at the weights with the best weighted entrant TRUE MASTER but can still pull this off.

Race 8: UNRIVALLED(1)

Jockey: A Domeyer- Trainer: C Bass-Robinson

UNRIVALLED has shown vast improvement since being equipped with blinkers in the 'Mother City' and he ran on well for 2nd over a similar trip at Kenilworth five weeks ago. The lightly raced Marchfield gelding should continue to improve and he will take a power of beating if handling the right hand turn.

VALUE BET

Race 6: HOLYROOD PALACE(1)

Jockey: G Lerena  - Trainer: J Snaith

HOLYROOD PALACE is another above-average Cape visitor who could take some beating on local debut if she handles the conditions. The lightly raced inmate from the Snaith yard relished this rise in ground as she kept going well to shed her maiden tag just over one month ago and she has much more to offer. Her joint top weight indicates the stiff task she faces but she is definitely improving.
