TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 1: VISTA NOVA (7)
Jockey: Kennedy W - Trainer: Van Zyl G
VISTA NOVA produced a promising debut effort over six furlongs on this course, eight weeks ago. The manner in which he ran on at the finish that day caught the eye. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The son of Global View drops to the minimum trip, but he gets the blinkers fitted which should sharpen him up. With the natural improvement that is expected, he should win this.
Race 4: SMART SOX (7)
Jockey: De Melo K - Trainer: Kannemeyer D
SMART SOX has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. He took on slightly stronger last time, but finished his race off well. He drops back in class this afternoon and will be mowing down the frontrunners in the run down to the line.
Race 7: KINGSTON ROCK (3)
Jockey: Jacobs J - Trainer: Crawford B
KINGSTON ROCK has finished second in his last three starts. He showed good speed last time, but was outrun by Purple Powahouse in the latter stages. His conqueror takes part in Race 6 on today's card and his progress in that race will be worth monitoring. The son of Bold Silvano has won once and finished second three times from five starts over this C&D. 2.5kgs claiming apprentice Jabu Jacobs steps back into the saddle and the pair should find themselves in the winner's enclosure.
Race 8: BEAT IT (2)
Jockey: Yeni M - Trainer: Howells D
BEAT IT ran a good race when finishing second over 1100m on this course last time. She finished 1.75 lengths behind BLUSH OF DAWN in her penultimate run and is 2.5kgs better off at the weights. That should be enough for the tables to be turned. She has won once and finished third twice from five starts over this trip. From her good draw of two, she can get back to winning ways.
VALUE BET FOR TODAY (EACH WAY)
Race 2: MONTFORT (2)
Jockey: Dillon D - Trainer: Campbell D
MONTFORT is the value bet on today's card. She showed good improvement over seven furlongs on the turf last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The daughter of Elusive Fort should enjoy the extra furlong on offer today and if suited to the surface, she may be the one to beat
