Winning Form Best Bets
Race 2: MEGHAN (5)
Jockey: Jacobson B - Trainer: Govender Y
MEGHAN showed good signs of a form return in her last start over this C&D under Billy Jacobson. She found one too good in the form of Princess Anastasia, but stayed on nicely at the business end. If repeating that effort today, she should go one better here
Race 3: ABBEYWOOD (7)
Jockey: Moodley S - Trainer: Forbes L
ABBEY WOOD showed good improvement to finish second over a mile on the polytrack. The manner in which she finished off her race that day caught the eye. The daughter of Vercingetorix will enjoy the rise in distance. She looks to be a progressive type and may find herself in the winner's enclosure.
TOP BET FOR TODAY:
Race 4: H TWO O (2)
Jockey: Moodley S - Trainer: Roberts M
H TWO O showed very good improvement in his last start over 1950m on this course. He was his own worst enemy that day as he overraced in the early stages, but still managed to stay on nicely at the business end. His brother, Out Of Your League won the Grade 1 SA Derby over this type of distance. If switching off early, he should be the one to beat.
Race 7: STELLA ACT (1)
Jockey: Jacobs J - Trainer: Kotzen G S
STELLA ACT'S last two starts after returning from a 16-week break have been decent. She raced from a handy position last time and stayed on well at the finish. The daughter of Act Of War won her only attempt over this C&D. She is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe.
VALUE BET
Race 8: DOUBLE ESPRESSO(9)
Jockey: Jacobs J - Trainer: Puller G B
DOUBLE ESPRESSO'S last two starts against stronger company have been decent. He has won twice, finished second once and third once from ten starts over this distance. He takes a drop in class and gets the services of a 1.5kgs claiming apprentice which should help his chances. The combination will be doing their best work at the finish
