TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 3: EASY PEASY(4)
Jockey: R Simons - Trainer: W Miller
EASY PEASY has thrived in this province and she quickly returned to form with a strong finish for a close 2nd over a mile despite racing wide seven days ago. Her good draw will be a huge plus for the chestnut who should enjoy the extra furlong
Race 4: SEATTLE SUNSET(1)
Jockey: F Herholdt - Trainer: W Miller
The veteran campaigner SEATTLE SUNSET crushed most of today's rivals over shorter earlier this term and has strong claims of following up if handling the extra two furlongs. That said, the joint top weight isn't best treated on official ratings as that honour falls to the mare SEA BEAN who receives a handy 8kgs from the first selection and she is proven over this c & d though she has to improve a bit on recent form. She was one of the victims of the top selection in the event in late August
TOP BET
Race 5: SELVAN'S JET(3)
Jockey: M Yeni - Trainer: C Lensley
The ageing SELVAN'S JET has been a revelation since arriving in the Northern Cape and though he picked up a deserved gigantic rise in his merit rating for his cosy recent nine furlong triumph, he should again take all the beating over the mile today
Race 9: TUNE THE SCOPE(11)
Jockey: R Munger - Trainer: S Miller
A competitive five furlong handicap contest ends the days proceedings and TUNE THE SCOPE should be a major factor if repeating his smart and improved recent c & d showing. He is arguably favourably drawn today and seems to thrive in likely suicidal run events over this minimum trip.
VALUE BET
Race 1: CATCHTHEMASTER(9)
Jockey: C Storey- Trainer: J Borman
THAT'S ALL is the obvious form choice after three seconds in his last four starts but the main worry is that he was reportedly not striding out seven days ago. CATCHTHEMASTER tore away with blinkers on his poor local debut in the same contest as the top selection last Monday and he should be a totally different proposition without the headgear today
