TOP BET

Race 3: WHAT A RED(1)

Jockey: A Mgudlwa   - Trainer: J Snaith

WHAT A RED is the clear form choice in this five furlong maiden contest and the improving daughter of What A Winter stayed on for a decent 2nd to her stablemate Alsflamingbeauty (placed on handicap debut since) over this c & d in her second local start recently. The Snaith inmate will be cherry-ripe on her third run after a 22 week absence and she has more to offer

Race 4: FAYE(2)

Jockey: S Veale    - Trainer: E Sands 

FAYE expectedly found her best form on her return to this track recently when she made late headway for 4th in a highly competitive line-up, the formline of which is well worth following. This switch to the longer run-in, coupled with her good draw should see the daughter of Thomas Crown make further progress

Race 5: MERAKI(3)

Jockey: A Domeyer - Trainer: C Bass-Robinson

The four-year old MERAKI has been consistent recently and he was outrun late into 2nd by the smart unbeaten youngster Vardy over this c & d three weeks ago. He comfortably accounted for an improving SHERWOOD FOREST (0.5kg worse off) that day and the blinkered bay gelding has obvious claims from pole position

Race 7: VODKA LIME(7)

Jockey: C Orffer   - Trainer: B Crawford

The Brett Crawford duo of VICE VERSA and VODKA LIME renew their rivalry at a slightly higher level today but they could still fight out another exciting duel. Of course the former prevailed by half a length last month and is 0.5kg better off despite the resultant four pound penalty. She has obvious issues but clearly preferred the good ground. Her stablemate confirmed that improvement with a solid subsequent outing and she gets the narrow first verdict

VALUE BET FOR TODAY

Race 8: SECRET DEPTHS(4)

Jockey: B May    - Trainer: MJ Robinson

There are some useful three-year olds in this highly competitive final contest over a mile and this formline is certainly worth keeping tabs on. SECRET DEPTHS has already shown her potential and this longer run-in will suit the daughter of Elusive Fort perfectly
