TOP BET

Race 2: BRANDINA(1)

Jockey: A Domeyer  - Trainer: A Greeff 

BRANDINA is the pick of a formidable trio of winners from the powerful Greeff yard and of course this bay filly went close behind male rivals in the Cape on Met Day and she now drops considerably in class.

Race 3: UNION JACK(1)

Jockey: M Byleveld - Trainer: A Greeff

UNION JACK is best weighted on official ratings in this eight-entrant pinnacle contest over seven furlongs and the likely solid tempo will suit the Greeff inmate who had a satisfactory last showing behind smart Cape visitor Star Chestnut.

Race 5: EPIC STORM(1)

Jockey: A Domeyer - Trainer:C Bass-Robinson

This maiden contest could easily be mistaken for a Cape clash as several entrants from the 'Mother City' head to post. EPIC STORM fluffed her lines after being squeezed at the start of her latest run but she showed promise prior to that and the short absence would have served her well.

Race 8: MARY O' REILLY(16)

Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: Y Bremner

The local hopeful MARY O' REILLY is developing into a highly talented sort who plainly should have gone much closer in a Grade 2 contest over this trip behind subsequent Grade 1 victress Clouds Unfold at Kenilworth last time out. She finished just under half a length in front of the Cape visitor FREEDOM CHARTER that day but is now 1.5kgs better off on her home ground and can reverse the form despite official merit ratings suggesting otherwise.

VALUE BET

Race 6: VILETTE(7)

Jockey: S Khumalo   - Trainer: W Nel 

A tricky mile and a half handicap where the fairer sex is well-represented by the Cape visitor VILETTE who has her peak showing and gives every impression that she could relish this test of stamina. The Nel trained inmate made progress in both her pleasing comeback runs following a 19 week absence and the runner-up of her last start Depeche has won since
