TOP BET

Race 2: PERFIDIA(9)

Jockey: Keagan DE MELO - Trainer: Gavin VAN ZYL

PERFIDIA should progress naturally from her eye-catching six-furlong debut on the inside course a fortnight ago. She finished well despite a slow start and today's extra furlong should suit the Kahal filly perfectly. The Van Zyl trained inmate has another decent barrier and she will enjoy this longer run-in.

Race 3: SNOW BOARDING(5)

Jockey: Weichong MARWING - Trainer: Joe SOMA

The speedy SNOW BOARDING is living up to his conditioner's early expectations and he produced a smart post maiden effort over an extra furlong two weeks ago. He was 2nd best behind a classy sort from the De Kock yard but was in turn, nearly two lengths clear of the much fancied LEFTRIGHTGOODNIGHT who finished 3rd in that particular event. The drop in distance suits the son of What A Winter who has bold claims with top jockey Gavin Lerena back in the saddle.

Race 4: MANITOBA(9)

Jockey: Gavin LERENA - Trainer: St John GRAY

The juveniles could dominate their very ordinary older counterparts in this maiden contest and the experienced MANITOBA is expected to put a disappointing recent effort firmly behind him. The son of Kildonan had promising form prior to that last sprint eight days ago and he finished a close 4th in his only c & d showing, the form of which was boosted when the 3rd placed entrant Jika won his next outing. Top jockey Gavin Lerena partners the St John Gray inmate.

Race 6: CAPTAIN ALDO(2)

Jockey: Gunter WROGEMANN - Trainer: St John GRAY

CAPTAIN ALDO loves this c & d and he would have sharpened up after his most encouraging last sprint in a similar contest five weeks ago. He is just slightly out at the weights but is very effective with front-running tactics and could have things all his own way today.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY

Race 5: CUMBERLAND(2)

Jockey: Dylan R LERENA - Trainer: Joe SOMA

The natural pacesetter CUMBERLAND is threatening his next career victory and the 4kgs apprentice claim could hugely benefit the five-year old bay gelding today. He tried hard when staying on for a close 3rd in a sprint on the inside course two weeks ago but is undoubtedly better over this extra furlong.
