Winning Form Best Bets
Race 1: BY THE WAY(2)
Race 2: RUMBLEINTHEJUNGLE(2)
Race 5: SEA VENTURE(1)
Race 10: SAMSONITE(1)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: GENEREIGHT(1)
Jockey: A Marcus - Trainer: R Hill
The locals make most appeal on form and GENEREIGHT is better than her slightly below-par last run in the capital. She has earned on this surface and should be highly competitive with Marcus in the irons.
TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 3: SHEIK'S STORM(5)
Jockey: S Veale - Trainer: P Gadsby
SHEIK'S STORM made her low rating count as she narrowly failed to beat a progressive youngster in her last sprint in the capital where she had SPRING BREEZE just over two lengths further adrift and she is capable on this surface. She meets the latter on 1kg worse terms after escaping without a penalty and should still confirm the formline.
TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 5: SEA VENTURE(1)
Jockey: A Marcus - Trainer: C Van Zyl
The Highveld visitor SEA VENTURE is the obvious form choice on local debut and the manner in which she ended her last start indicates that she could relish this test of stamina. The bay daughter of Dynasty is drawn best of all on her first run on this surface.
Race 7: MYELISHA(2)
Jockey: M Khan - Trainer: L Forbes
MYELISHA posted two pleasing comeback runs following the 21 week absence and she can go one better than her last start on her peak showing today. It is worth noting that her jockey partnered her principle danger, the Highveld raider, PROMISE to a much improved last showing in mixed company at the Vaal in the spring. The latter hasn't raced for 13 weeks since but her conditioner gets them ready.
VALUE BET FOR TODAY
Race 2: SOLSBURY HILL(4)
Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: A Wright
An intriguing contest where SOLSBURY HILL could make a mockery of his last formline where he finished just over two lengths adrift of RUMBLEINTHEJUNGLEover six furlongs on this track. Of course the latter quickened smartly from off the pace whilst the former was finding some traffic issues that day and things could be much different over the extra furlong today. It is really encouraging that top rider Hewitson keeps faith with the former who has his peak outing.
