TOP BET FOR TODAY

Race 1: PRETTY WENDY(1)

Jockey: Muzi YENI- Trainer: Coerie LENSLEY

PRETTY WENDY has finished runner-up in her last three starts but she didn't enjoy the slow gallop over further when expected to win her most recent effort. This shorter trip and the likely stronger pace will suit the well-bred daughter of Dynasty perfectly. She is well drawn and should take a power of beating.

Race 3: PAMPIERSTAD(1)

Jockey: Muzi YENI- Trainer: Coerie LENSLEY

The imported chestnut gelding PAMPIERSTAD perhaps just needed his promising hometown debut when he stayed on for a close 3rd over nine furlongs albeit in a weak event four weeks ago. That said, the runner-up Obladi Oblada crushed his maiden rivals subsequently and this son of Pluck will be much fitter this time around. Furthermore, he should prefer the mile and has strong claims.

Race 6: ROYAL MASTER(2)

Jockey: Ryan MUNGER - Trainer: Bill HUMAN

Just eight entrants head to post for this handicap and despite the indications from the betting market this event is by no means cut and dried. ROYAL MASTER has been campaigning with relative success in far stronger company and he only finished a head behind today's likely warm favourite BORDER HOPPER when the pair clashed over this c & d three weeks ago. The veteran gelding is weighted to go very close and would represent value in terms of the betting market.

Race 9: ZARAGOZA(8)

Jockey: Muzi YENI- Trainer: Coerie LENSLEY

ZARAGOZA returned to form when he finished strongly for a close 2nd in similar company over this c & d recently and he may have escaped with a solitary pound penalty. He finished almost four lengths clear of the next placed entrant ZELIG that day and should confirm the formline despite being 2.5kgs worse off with the latter. The top selection and stable elect is drawn best of all.

VALUE BET FOR TODAY

Race 5: ROCK BURNER(8)

Jockey: Shadlee FORTUNE- Trainer: Tienie PRINSLOO

ROCK BURNER quickly got back to form when she ran on strongly for a narrow defeat over an extra furlong recently and she should be equally effective over the mile. She escaped without a penalty and can go one better from her good draw.
