TOP BET

Race 1: ROCKY PATH(5)
Jockey: K Zechner - Trainer: St John Gray

ROCKY PATH had an eye-catching and improved second showing when he ran on late for 3rd behind a highly rated and heavily backed sort over this trip at Turffontein. He had CHAILYN BOY and SMALL CHANGE comfortably behind him that day and it is worth noting that the latter finished just half a length adrift of today's rivals FLYING GEORGE on his debut in his penultimate effort. He is the stable's only entrant on the day and should continue to progress. It is also worth noticing that he was backed in both his starts.

Race 2: SEE YOU TYGER(10)
Jockey: R Simons - Trainer: P Matchett

SEE YOU TYGER benefitted greatly from her debut experience as she took off late for 3rd behind winners over this trip at three weeks ago. She stumbled badly at the start that day and should continue to progress. Her stablemate CURRENCY also had a much improved second effort albeit tiring late into 3rd after showing good speed. The runner-up Brave Zndaya unfortunately produced a below-par subsequent effort.

Race 4: MARDI GRAS(11)
Jockey: J Greyling   - Trainer: J Janse van Vuuren

MARDI GRAS was withdrawn when carded to race five days ago as he was cast in his box. The expensive purchase had an eye-catching debut over this c & d six weeks ago and he should build on that if taking his place in this line-up

Race 6: SAIL FOR JOY(2)
Jockey: R Munger   - Trainer: S Kenny 

SAIL FOR JOY is a determined frontrunner with decent credentials and he could enjoy a soft lead in this small field. His stablemate TOKYO DRIFT finished just a short head adrift in their latest clash and with the pair meeting on identical weight terms, the latter should be involved in the finish.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 3: PEPPERMINT TEA(14)
Jockey: R Simons    - Trainer:  J  Janse van Vuuren

PEPPERMINT TEA was quietly fancied when she got going late on her moderate debut in a decent field of male rivals over this trip four weeks ago. The runner-up Tripod and 3rd placed entrant Seventh Son won their subsequent starts and this daughter of Gimmethegreenlight should make natural progress against her own sex.
