TOP BET FOR TODAY

Race 4: PILGRIM'S PROGRESS(3)

Jockey: K MATSUNYANE - Trainer: P PETER

That said, she faces a huge battle against the hat-trick seeking PILGRIM'S PROGRESS who arguably escaped with a five pound penalty for her impressive recent triumph. INVINCIBLE LADY has been a model of consistency throughout her staggered career but she gives every impression that staying could be her forte'.

Race 6: HAKEEM(1)

Jockey: C HABIB - Trainer: M DE KOCK

HAKEEM maintained his good recent run of form and he went close over this trip at a slightly higher level three weeks ago. He had the three-year old DROP KICK just over three lengths adrift and has obvious claims. The latter was returning from an 18 week rest that day so will be fitter and could finish much closer thanks to the 2kgs favourable weight reversal. Of course the Judpot gelding has more scope for improvement.

Race 7: POLAR ICE(2)

Jockey: G LERENA - Trainer: G WOODRUFF

POLAR ICE showed no signs of fatigue as he quickened smartly to beat subsequent winner Greek Fire over slightly shorter in his comeback attempt following a lengthy 31 week absence. He was expectedly handed the maximum punishment but the Var gelding will strip fitter and judging on his c & d display behind Matador Man last autumn, he may still be ahead of the handicapper

Race 8: DAME KELLY(2)

Jockey: L J FERRARIS - Trainer: O FERRARIS

DAME KELLY has found her form again and she drops in class after two solid recent attempts. She enjoys this track and is drawn best of all.

VALUE BET

Race 1: CHEVRON(8)

Jockey: S KHUMALO - Trainer: D Nieuwenhuizen

CHEVRON was unfancied when he had a decent debut over seven furlongs in a competitive line-up earlier this month and he should build on that effort for his in-form yard. Of course the slight worry is his wide draw on this tight circuit
