TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 1: LICKERIO(1)
Jockey: A Marcus - Trainer: Y Govender
LICKERIO was outclassed in a feature on his grass debut on July Day but was gelded just three days later. Of course he had two promising efforts on this surface prior to that and the well-bred bay should bounce straight back. He races in maiden company now and top rider Marcus has secured the mount.
Race 3: AMOR ARDIENTE(6)
Jockey: S VEALE - Trainer: B IMPEY
AMOR ARDIENTE was given an excellent ride as he was rewarded for consistency with a smart recent triumph. The consistent bay gelding surprisingly escaped with just the minimum two pound penalty and he should be highly competitive despite dropping slightly in distance. The likely strong tempo will play right into his hands
Race 5: FAIR ANTONIA(2)
Jockey: K De Melo - Trainer: P Lunn
The track specialist FAIR ANTONIA was given a brilliant ride as she got up to share first position in her last c & d affair at a similar level nearly two months ago. She was deservedly raised four pounds in her merit rating but the bay filly will be cherry-ripe today and has definite claims of following up
Race 8: JOSEPHINE BAKER(2)
Jockey: K DE MELO - Trainer: D KANNEMEYER
JOSEPHINE BAKER was never a threat when she finished a well beaten 4th in mixed company over this c & d last month but she can quickly bounce back against her own sex here. Of course she was racing under the lights for the first time that night. The chestnut daughter of Ideal World had a promising penultimate run when she stayed on for a good 3rd
VALUE BET FOR TODAY
Race 6: JUST ONE MORE(5)
Jockey: S BROWN - Trainer: J FREEDMAN
JUST ONE MORE has finally cracked a decent draw and she can bounce right back to form after yet another drop in her merit rating. She didn't disgrace herself when racing wide recently and today's jockey knows her well
