TOP BET

Race 3: RAGNAROK(1)

Jockey: C ZACKEY - Trainer: Mike and Adam AZZIE

RAGNAROK is plagued with issues but he stayed on for a creditable 4th behind subsequent winner Ancient Spirit over this c & d last time out. The runner-up Coastal Torrent has flopped since but the 3rd (King Of The Delta) and 5th (Russian Beat) placed entrants have won since to further boost the formline. This bay gelding faces an ordinary field and should be highly competitive for his in-form yard.

Race 4: SHADOW MAN(1)

Jockey: S KHUMALO - Trainer: C DAWSON

This is a competitive and tricky maiden contest that features a few form entrants with many trying the nine furlongs for the first time. SHADOW MAN put his disappointing penultimate run behind him when he ran on smartly for 2nd over a mile on the standside course two weeks ago. The well-related son of Silvano was returning from a nine week absence so should strip fitter and is bred to relish the extra furlong.

Race 7: THE RISING LEGEND(5)

Jockey: C MURRAY  - Trainer: G WOODRUFF

THE RISING LEGEND is still improving and there was plenty of merit in his recent half a length triumph over KREMLIN JUDGEMENT over nine furlongs. The son of Eightfold Path was having his first start on this tight circuit which shouldn't have suited his running style but he came through the test with flying colours and was rather surprisingly upped just two pounds in his merit rating. The Woodruff inmate will relish this extra furlong. The latter is knocking hard at the door for his overdue second career win and the 1kg favourable turnaround with the top selection will be of great aid.

Race 8: EVOLVER(3)

Jockey: P STRYDOM- Trainer: A FORTUNE

EVOLVER may have just found the ten furlongs beyond him when he weakened late on his handicap debut two weeks ago. Of course the former Cape resident relished this trip as he trounced his maiden rivals by nearly nine lengths on local debut in his penultimate outing and he will be cherry-ripe today.

VALUE BET

Race 1: BIG VOICE JACK(1)

Jockey: S BROWN - Trainer: O FERRARIS

BIG VOICE JACK is gradually improving and there was some merit in his improved last performance from a wide draw in open company over a mile. Furthermore, that formline was given a boost when the 4th (Condor Gulch) and 6th (Go Ballistic) placed entrants won their subsequent starts. This chestnut son of Philanthropist could enjoy this tight circuit and the shorter distance and should be competitive. Interestingly, he is his jockey's solitary ride on the card.
