TOP BET

Race 2: JUNTA(1)

Jockey: Craig ZACKEY- Trainer: Tara LAING

The well-bred JUNTA showed decent ability in the 'Mother City' and her first career win seemed in sight before a surprise sale and relocation. Nevertheless, it is really worth noting that her regular pilot has kept a share in the daughter of Var whose last formline has worked out very well. She could enjoy this forgiving surface on her local debut and should take a power of beating if she has acclimatized in this province.

Race 3: VALENTINIK(11)

Jockey:  Mathew THACKERAY - Trainer: Tara LAING

The juvenile VALENTINIK made smart improvement when he stayed on for 2nd behind a highly rated sort despite overracing over six furlongs on the grass second time out. The son of Rebel King was returning from a ten week absence so will strip fitter and clearly has more to offer. The switch to this surface should suit the bay gelding who has drawn well at gate 2.

Race 4: SCENT(1)

Jockey: Greg CHEYNE - Trainer: Alan GREEFF

SCENT has excellent polytrack credentials and he quickly bounced back to form with a cracking last run at a higher level over an extra furlong. The Silvano gelding escaped without a penalty for that runner up performance and his conditioner has negated the big mass by engaging a promising 4kgs claiming apprentice. The five-year old is thus well-handicapped and should be extremely competitive over an ideal c & d. 

Race 7: VICTORIA COLLEGE(1)

Jockey: Craig ZACKEY- Trainer: Tara LAING

VICTORIA COLLEGE has solid recent form and she deserves her second career victory after going close in back-to-back efforts on this course earlier this month. The bay filly isn't too badly treated at the weights and she is drawn well.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY

Race 6: STRUT YOUR STUFF(8)

Jockey: Craig ZACKEY - Trainer: Corne SPIES

STRUT YOUR STUFF hasn't disgraced herself in competitive male company in both her comeback efforts after an eleven week break and she will be cherry-ripe to produce a big performance today. The import- ed daughter of High Chaparral has drawn well and she is the mount of the stable jockey
