Race 2: SCOOTALOO(7)
Jockey: Marco V/RENSBURG- Trainer: Cliffie MILLER
This is an extremely competitive contest that features a few raiders who should be closely watched. That said, the local SCOOTALOO is the narrow first selection after consecutive seconds over this c & d in her last two starts. The form of her last start has proven to be suspect though with PIKKEWYN flopping badly subsequently, albeit the latter prefers five furlongs.
Race 6: SABRE CHARGE(1)
Jockey: Lyle HEWITSON- Trainer: Kumaran NAIDOO
The KZN raider SABRE CHARGE had a bright start to life for his new yard when he fought hard for a good 3rd over a similar trip on the grass early last month. He has his first try on the sand today but has definitely improved since being equipped with blinkers and is a huge contender on his local debut. The four-year old is capable with handy tactics which should prove fruitful on this surface.
Race 8: ROCK A BYE BABY(2)
Jockey: Callan MURRAY - Trainer: Coerie LENSLEY
Local conditioner Coerie Lensley saddles another c & d specialist who faces their stiffest provicial test yet but the speedy ROCK A BYE BABY can also fly the stable's flag high. This daughter of Seventh Rock has tasted defeat just once from eight c & d efforts and she will strip fitter after may needing her comeback run four weeks ago. She meets the runner-up IN FULL REGALIA 4.5kgs unfavourable terms but should be at the top of her game and can still defy the odds today
TOP BET
Race 9: FORT EAGLE(6)
Jockey: Jarryd PENNY - Trainer: Duncan MCKENZIE
FORT EAGLE has been an instant hit since arriving in this province and he comes here seeking a hat trick of c & d victories after two impressive back-to-back triumphs, the latest which earned him a five pound penalty. The veteran gelding meets a similar field though and he can certainly follow-up from his good draw
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY
Race 7: ROY'S DISPREN(6)
Jockey: Callan MURRAY - Trainer: Coerie LENSLEY
ROY'S DISPREN is still improving in this province and he has been defeated just once from five c & d efforts. Of course he bounced right back to his best when easily beating RED SPECIAL (1kg better off) by 2.75 lengths over this track & trip three weeks ago. The Windrush gelding faces his stiffest test to date but is the pick of the locals and could make his home ground advantage count.
