TOP BET

Race 3: BLOSSOM(7)

Jockey: G Lerena- Trainer: O Ferraris 

BLOSSOM was fancied on her promising debut at Turffontein in early October and the well-bred daughter of Silvano should make natural improvement over the mile. She meets a really moderate bunch and is worth following

Race 5: MR CUDDLES(1)

Jockey: C Maujean - Trainer: G Woodruff

MR CUDDLES is top weight in this maiden handicap over a mile but rightly so, after the Woodruff inmate's smart recent form following the 17 week absence

Race 6: ROYAL CAVALIER(1)

Jockey: G Lerena - Trainer: R Magner 

ROYAL CAVALIER quickly returned to form when he ran on well for 2nd behind the highly rated Scoop over this c & d recently and the bay gelding finally has his handicap debut

Stand a chance to win R10 000 cash every day for the next 100 days!

Race 9: WINE FESTIVAL(3)

Jockey: S Khumalo - Trainer: J Ramsden

WINE FESTIVAL has acclimatized well on the Highveld and her back-to-back mile triumphs on this track is evidence of that. She is equally effective over this shorter distance and can defy the three pound penalty on her hat-trick attempt

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 8: ZULU DAWN(6)

Jockey: C Habib - Trainer: TS Pettigrew

ZULU DAWN finished a neck in front of VISUALITY when she was runner-up over this c & d recently and there should again be little to choose between the pair who clash on similar weight terms
