TOP BET

Race 2: SEATTLE LILY(1)

Jockey: Karl ZECHNER - Trainer: Yvette BREMNER

SEATTLE LILY showed smart improvement when she ran on strongly for a close 2nd to her more fancied stable companion over this c & d two weeks ago. She had some form entrants behind her that day and the lightly raced daughter of Sail From Seattle has strong claims of going one better. Her conditioner has kept faith in this in-form pilot.

Race 4: FLAMINGO VLEI(1)

Jockey: Greg CHEYNE - Trainer: Alan GREEFF

FLAMINGO VLEI should build on her fair local sprint debut when perhaps needing the effort as she was returning from a 21 week absence. The former Gauteng resident clearly prefers the mile and should go very well from her good draw this afternoon. She will be fitter.

Race 5: IMPERIAL GUARD(2)

Jockey: Luyolo MXOTHWA - Trainer: Sharon B KOTZEN

IMPERIAL GUARD wasn't disgraced in much stronger company in recent efforts and possibly didn't enjoy the blinkers last time out. Incidentally, that formline was boosted when the 3rd placed finisher Eternal Jet beat a high quality field subsequently and this veteran gelding will certainly prefer facing today's rivals. He has reached another competitive merit rating and is drawn best of all with his in-form pilot retaining the ride.

Race 8: BRINKLEY(3)

Jockey: Greg CHEYNE - Trainer: Alan GREEFF

BRINKLEY quickly got back to form when she finished strongly for 3rd over further on the polytrack on the final day of last season. The versatile bay mare interestingly escaped without punishment and she has major claims with the stable jockey taking the ride from a good draw this time around

VALUE BET

Race 6:  VILLA DEL LARGO(1)

Jockey: Richard FOURIE - Trainer: Justin SNAITH

The veteran gelding VILLA DEL LARGO is still loving his racing and he finished well for a close 3rd over an extra furlong three weeks ago. That said, he seems best over this minimum distance nowadays and he should be highly competitive despite a hefty mass
