TOP BET FOR TODAY

Race 1: NORTHERN TOWER(11)

Jockey: Wesley Marwing - Trainer: M Prinsloo

NORTHERN TOWER attracted outside betting support when he ran on well for 2nd on his promising debut over the minimum distance two weeks ago. He finished just one length ahead of the exposed JOE'S JOY that day but has more room for improvement and he should enjoy the extra furlong. His pole barrier position is an obvious plus.

Race 4: NOTACADEMICATALL(1)

Jockey: F Herholdt  - Trainer: S Von Willingh 

The ultra-consistent chestnut gelding NOTACADEMICATALL continued his excellent local form with a solid recent outing which earned him a three pound hike but he is still the one to beat.

Race 7: SAINT MARCO(6)

Jockey: R Munger - Trainer: S Miller

Trainer Stephanie Miller holds a strong hand in this non-black type handicap with the most interesting acquisition being the recently relocated SAINT MARCO. This five-year old bay gelding brings solid KZN form into this contest, including finishing just over two lengths adrift at listed level over a similar distance five weeks ago. Unfortunately, the runner-up Red Chesnut Road fluffed his lines next time out but this son of Antonius Pius is well-handicapped and is the stable elect. That said, he races on this surface for the first time.

Race 9: QUEEN AT WAR(12)

Jockey: M Yeni - Trainer: C Lensley

QUEEN AT WAR can build on her two improved comeback runs after an eleven week break. The chestnut mare drops slightly in class and she can stake a huge claim from her good draw.

VALUE BET FOR TODAY

Race 6: ROY'S BUTTERFLY(6)

Jockey: M V.Rensburg - Trainer: W Miller

ROY'S BUTTERFLY bounced back to form with a pleasing recent c & d effort which cost her a massive but deserved eight pound hike. She will obviously find it tougher in male company today but can still prove equal to the task
