TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 1: BUCKLEBERRY(1)
Jockey: Anton MARCUS - Trainer: Paul LAFFERTY
BUCKLEBERRY finished runner-up in all three of his starts last year, the latest behind the high-quality subsequent winner Calvary and this Crusade gelding would have strengthened during his absence. The engaging of Marcus indicates that his conditioner will have the likely short-priced favourite fit and ready and he should take all the beating.
Race 4: MOKOKO(3)
Jockey: Anton MARCUS - Trainer: Paul LAFFERTY

Jockey: Warren KENNEDY - Trainer: Dennis BOSCH
BORN TO PERFORM showed no signs of niggles as he smashed his maiden rivals on debut over this c & d last month. Admittedly, he didn't beat anything of note but the manner of victory was impressive and the striking grey gelding is, of course, lowly rated on handicap debut due to the technicality. He could be worth following in handicap company for a while

Race 6: SHEIK'S STORM(3)

SHEIK'S STORM was a little disappointing in her last two starts but she has dropped to a suitable mark once again and can bounce right back to her best form. The daughter of Trippi placed in both her c & d efforts

Race 8: GINGER BISCUIT(6)
Jockey: Khanya SAKAYI - Trainer: Pat LUNN
The veteran mare GINGER BISCUIT has been thereabouts recently and she perhaps should have finished closer but for slight traffic issues over an extra furlong last time out. The c & d specialist should make amends in this competitive line-up though and the 2.5kgs apprentice allowance will aid her cause
