TOP BET
Race 3: PALO ALTO (1)
Jockey: C Maujean - Trainer: T Laing
PALO ALTO was very impressive when winning his last start over this c&d. He took the lead at the 200m mark and drew off to win with ease. He carries top weight this afternoon, but the manner in which he won his last start suggests that there is more to come. Chase Maujean rides from pole position and the pair could notch up the double.
Race 4: CRUZ GIOVANNI (2)
Jockey: W Agrella - Trainer: Y Bremner
CRUZ GIOVANNI has been slow into stride in his last three starts and always does his best work in the closing stages of the race. The son of What A Winter was drawn wide in his last two starts and has finally cracked a decent barrier position which could make all the difference this afternoon. Jockey Wayne Agrella is riding with a lot of confidence at the moment and can see himself in the winners enclosure once again.
Race 5: DEPPSTON (6)
Jockey: G Cheyne - Trainer: A Greef
DEEPSTON makes his local/stable debut for the Alan Greeff camp after 19 weeks off the track. He has run behind some decent horses in his last two starts in the form of Knights Templar and Frank Lloyd Wright. Greg Cheyne rides this son of Var on his polytrack debut and if taking to the surface, he could make his start to racing in PE a winning one.
Race 7: EXALTATION (5)
Jockey: M Yeni - Trainer: G Smith
EXALTATION has come well in his last three starts under Muzi Yeni. He set the pace in his last start, but returned to the parade ring having cast a shoe. This son of Just As Well is yet to be unplaced from two starts over this c&d. He is likely to have his own way in front in this handicap and can go from start to finish.
VALUE BET
RACE 2: OASIS QUEEN (3)
Jockey: W Agrella - Trainer: Y Bremner
This is a very open F&M handicap and OASIS QUEEN could cause the upset. Her last run on 18 October can be ignored as she was reported to be making a respiratory noise and also not striding out. She ran a good race in her penultimate start when finishing 1.15 lengths behind Duke Of Hazard. This 6yo mare has been taking on the males in her last three starts and returns to take on her own sex this afternoon. A big positive is that she has finally cracked a good draw of three. She runs well for jockey Keanen Steyn and the pair could find themselves in the winners enclosure.
