TOP BET

Race 2: VOMANDLA(1)

Jockey: A Domeyer - Trainer: W Nel

This is an exciting five furlong maiden contest featuring quite a few form entrants who should ensure a close finish. The Cape visitor VOMANDLA has shown promise over further but should easily cope with this minimum distance. Of course the form of her last mile start was given a boost when her conqueror Silvano's Pride (beat high quality field subsequently), runner-up Princess Irene (dual subsequent winner) and 4th placed entrant Star Fighter all achieved wins in their next start

Race 3: CROME YELLOW(1)

Jockey: A Domeyer  - Trainer: W Nel

The in-form Andre Nel yard brings another Cape visitor to these shores in the form of the likely short priced favourite CROME YELLOW who should take a power of beating on form. The bay son of Trippi wasn't disgraced despite racing wide from a poor draw in his comeback run a fortnight ago and of course he had promising prior form. He faces a really moderate local line-up but does try the right hand turn for the first time

Race 5: COPPER TRAIL(1)

Jockey: C ZACKEY - Trainer: V MARSHALL

The top weight COPPER TRAIL is the stable elect from the Bremner yard and he can follow-up on his fluent recent c & d triumph at a higher level. That said, he will get stiff competition from the lightweights with CAPTAIN MAROONED the pick of those. This veteran gelding has turned his form around lately and he receives a whopping 8.5kgs from the first selection

Race 8: EL CHEEPO(5)

Jockey: J Maujean - Trainer: T Laing 

The three-year old's should dominate the outcome of this handicap with a slight preference for EL CHEEPO. The bay gelding hasn't disgraced himself on the polytrack in his five post maiden starts but crucially finally returns to the grass today. Of course he found a strong finish to beat some fair sorts on local debut on this course in June and was recently docked three pounds in his rating.

VALUE BET

Race 7: STORY OF MY LIFE(4)

Jockey: J Mphanya  - Trainer: G Smith

This is another highly competitive handicap contest on the card where a genuine case can be made for most of the ten entrants. STORY OF MY LIFE drops in class after a creditable last feature start and the engaging of a 2.5kgs claiming apprentice could be key for the Gavin Smith trained five-year old bay gelding.
