TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 2: MYSTERY BOY (14)
Jockey: W Kennedy - Trainer: G van Zyl
MYSTERY BOY ran a good race on debut over a mile on this course. He lost two lengths at the start, but finished his race off well. It must be noted that there have been multiple winners from that form line. The son of Noble Tune will be at home over the extra furlong and with a bit of luck in running, he should go one better.
Race 4: SHAVOUT (4)
Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: M J Odendal
SHAVOUT was his own worst enemy in the Dingaans last time as he overraced in the early stages. His penultimate run when finishing 0.7 lengths behind FIGHT SONG catches the eye. He is 3kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He should be cherry-ripe today and if switching off early, he can get back to winning ways.
Race 5: SPYDAS CORNER (2)
Jockey: M Yeni - Trainer: D Howells
SPYDAS CORNER won a good race over the minimum distance on this course last time. The son of What A Winter should love the extra furlong on offer today. He does take another rise in class, but he has ability and can notch up the hat-trick.
Race 6: DEEP THOUGHT (7)
Jockey: A Marcus - Trainer: P Muscutt
DEEP THOUGHT was not disgraced when finishing third against males over this distance on the Polytrack last time. It must be noted that Spydas Corner has come out and won again since. She won her only attempt on this course and is back against her own sex. The daughter of What A Winter looks to have class and can notch up her second career victory.
VALUE BET FOR TODAY (EACH WAY)
Race 7: GREAT SHAKA (8)
Jockey: A Arries - Trainer: M Miller
GREAT SHAKA finished 2.1 lengths behind TRACES last time. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. All seven of his victories have come over this distance and he should find himself in the winner's enclosure once again
