TOP BET
Race 1: FOREST EXPRESS(4)
Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: S Tarry
The four-year old filly FOREST EXPRESS had an impressive last c & d triumph in a similar contest and the Tarry inmate should again take all the beating. She is marginally best-weighted but has much more to offer and will be cherry-ripe today
Race 2: GOTTALOTTALUV(5)
Jockey: P Strydom - Trainer: S Pettigrew
This contest isn't straight forward and the merit ratings may not necessarily be the best guide. The daughter of Var, GOTTALOTTALUV returned to form over this trip earlier this campaign and she meets the likely favourite and best weighted entrant CHARIOT OF GOLD on 3.5kgs better terms for a 2.70 lengths deficit in the Oaks over this trip on 31/03
Race 7: CAPTAIN AND MASTER(1)
Jockey: S Khumalo - Trainer: S Tarry
The powerful Tarry stable is well-represented in this assessment contest where the yard may control the pace with WARRIOR'S REST who will be fitter after his moderate seasonal debut. Of course his top juvenile performance at the highest level behind subsequent Grade 1 winner Eyes Wide Open still stands out in his formline. His stablemate CAPTAIN AND MASTER is also plagued with issues but he had a decent comeback sprint when just behind Mardo Gras (runs in race 5) and he finished runner-up to subsequent Grade 1 winner Undercover Agent in his penultimate outing in the Cape
Race 11: BEL CANTO CHORUS(5)
Jockey: D De Gouveia - Trainer: S Pettigrew
BEL CANTO CHORUS has improved with each start and she was finishing well when a close 4th over the minimum trip on this track a fortnight ago. This extra furlong will suit the daughter of Philanthropi- st better and she should be highly competitive from pole position
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 8: PERFECT TIGRESS(11)
Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: M/A Azzie
The lightly raced three-year old PERFECT TIGRESS had a decent seasonal debut sprint on this track last month and should enjoy this extra distance on pedigree. Of course she does face a strong line-up but has a low mass and can finish much closer to POOL PARTY this time around
