Race 11: MILDEN SPELL(9)
Race 4: MAGICAL WONDERLAND(14)
Jockey: A Domeyer - Trainer: C Bass-Robinson
The excellent filly MAGICAL WONDERLAND bids to give her yard back-to-back wins with their three-year-olds in this contest and she is joint best weighted after a recent four pound hike. Of course she is unbeaten from five attempts over sprint trips, with her recent crushing c & d victory over Grade 2 opposition being the highlight of her short career.
TOP BET
Race 6: TRIP TO HEAVEN(1)
Jockey: A Marcus - Trainer: S Tarry
Champion trainer Sean Tarry is renowned for not allowing his charger's to peak a race too soon and that could be the case with his special son of Trippi, TRIP TO HEAVEN, who bids to go one better than he did in this Grade 1 contest twelve months ago. The six-year-old surprisingly jumped on terms in his recent outing on his return to the 'Mother City'. He will be cherry-ripe and should love today's likely suicidal pace.
Race 8: JUST SENSUAL(1)
Jockey: Anton MARCUS - Trainer: Sean TARRY
The betting market indicates otherwise but this Grade 1 fillies and mares event over the mile is by no means cut and dried. That said, it should materialize into a boat-race between last season's Guineas victress, JUST SENSUAL and this current campaign's equivalent, SNOWDANCE. The slight preference is for the four-year old former who is way better than her recent sprint performance. She will prefer this step-up in distance on her peak effort and her decent draw is an obvious plus.
Race 11: MILDEN SPELL(9)
Jockey: G V.Niekerk - Trainer: J Snaith
MILDEN SPELL appears to be over his issue which kept him out of action for a long time and he had a smart recent display behind the highly regarded Talk Of The Town. The Snaith inmate escaped without a penalty and he can go one better over this slightly shorter trip.
VALUE BET FOR TODAY
Race 1: FAVOLA(7)
Jockey: Anton MARCUS - Trainer: Sean TARRY
The three-year old FAVOLA is much better on this course which explains her below-par last showing behind the well ridden LINDLEY'S LANE whom she incidentally defeated over this track & trip in her penultimate outing. The chestnut daughter of Horse Chestnut was recently docked two pounds in her rating and she can cause an upset in this opening affair. The latter is capable with frontrunning tactics and though she should negotiate her wide berth, she isn't the stable elect.
