TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 2: MARKET DAY (8)
Jockey: Fortune S - Trainer: Paddock G
MARKET DAY produced a promising debut effort when finishing runner-up over seven furlongs on this course. He found betting support that day which would suggest that he had been showing good work back at home. The son of Judpot should have finished closer as he had to switch at a crucial stage in the race. He will enjoy the step up to the mile this afternoon and can go one better.
Race 3: INTERSTATE (1)
Jockey: Mxothwa L - Trainer: McKenzie D
INTERSTATE ran a decent race when finishing second in his comeback run over a mile on the polytrack. The manner in which he ran on in the closing stages suggests that he will enjoy the rise to the ten furlongs. Luyolo Mxothwa steps back into the saddle this afternoon and the pair should find themselves in the winner's enclosure.
Race 4: FORRIES ON FRIDA (6)
Jockey: Naidoo S - Trainer: Smith G
FORRIES ON FRIDAY'S last start can be ignored as she was reported to be coughing post-race. She finished runner-up in her two starts prior to that outing and looks to have ability. The drop back to the seven furlongs will suit the daughter of Soft Falling Rain well and she should have a good chance of shedding her maiden tag.
Race 8: PURPLE DIAMOND (1)
Jockey: Mxothwa L - Trainer: Greeff A
PURPLE DIAMOND found one too good in the form of Foreign Source over this C&D last time. He takes a drop back to Handicap company this afternoon and despite carrying a big mass of 61.5kgs, he should be too good for the rest of this field. It is encouraging that jockey Luyolo Mxothwa retains the ride aboard the son of Var.
VALUE BET
Race 7: PAPER TOWN (8)
Jockey: Naidoo S - Trainer: Smith G
PAPER TOWN finished 1.25lengths behind AMERICAN LANDING in his last start over this C&D. He is 4kgs better off at the weights this afternoon and that should be enough to turn the tables. He is having his peak run and should be cherry-ripe. From his good draw of four, he may be the one to side with.
