TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 1: DIECI(4)
Jockey: L J FERRARIS - Trainer: D DRIER
DIECI seems to prefer the minimum trip and the lightly raced chestnut produced her career best effort when she ran on strongly for 2nd behind her impressive winning stablemate In The Stars earlier this month. Her experience around the turn at this venue will stand her in good stead and she holds strong claims with her 2.5kgs claiming apprentice retaining the ride
Race 4: ROY'S STINGRAY(1)
Jockey: B LERENA- Trainer: A WRIGHT
ROY'S STINGRAY has shown decent post maiden form but her latest effort again indicated that the ten furlongs may be beyond her. It isn't surprising that her conditioner quickly returns to this suitable distance and the imported top weight should stake a serious claim. She is drawn in pole and could enjoy a soft lead
Race 5: TOMMY GRAND(5)
Jockey: S RANDOLPH - Trainer: N KOTZEN
An interesting graduation handicap featuring ten entrants and a decent tempo is expected. TOMMY GRAND has expectedly returned to form with the removal of blinkers and he beat subsequent winners Itdawnedo- nme and Cat's Legacy with a bit to spare over the mile in the capital recently yet clearly escaped with the minimum two pound penalty. The Fort Wood gelding has no issue with this extra distance and he appears best handicapped here
Race 6: REGAL GRADUATION(6)
Jockey: A MARCUS - Trainer: J A Janse VAN VUUREN
The Gauteng visitor REGAL GRADUATION bounced right back to her best when she was outrun late into 2nd in a feature on the Highveld two weeks ago and she can go one better with Marcus in the irons on local debut here. The locally based above-average three-year old ARIANOS SHADOW showed smart potential last term and though she lost her 100% record in a feature, she stayed on well for 2nd despite racing wide over this c & d
VALUE BET FOR TODAY
Race 8: OOH LA LA(5)
Jockey: K SAKAYI - Trainer: D CAMPBELL
The good-looking OOH LA LA impressed in her manner of victory in the maiden ranks recently though she didn't beat much of note and the Campbell inmate certainly has more to offer. She may still be ahead of the handicapper and could be worth following. The Gauteng visitor is another three-year old and OPERETTA will definitely benefit from the 2.5kgs apprentice allowance after she was originally allocated a big mass. The daughter of Oratorio displayed smart recent sprint potential in her home province and her last start indicated that she should enjoy this extra furlong. Of course she tries the turn for the first time today but is well drawn
