Race 2: ROCK THE KAZVAR (12)

Jockey: D De Gouveia - Trainer: M/A Azzie

ROCK THE KAZVAR made a promising debut when producing a powerful finish in the closing stages. The son of Var would have gained from the experience and should have plenty of improvement to come. His mother, My Kazzie was a four-time winner from 1200m - 1600m. Diego De Gouveia returns from Mauritius and he can get off to a winning start. 

Race 5: BANHA BRIDGE (14)

Jockey: G Lerena - Trainer: C Dawson 

This is a weak maiden plate and the form horse, LACONIA may be hard to beat. She has placed in her last three starts over today's distance and Muzi Yeni knows her well. Today is the perfect opportunity for the daughter of Lateral to shed her maiden tag in this line-up.

Race 6: LACONIA (1)

Jockey: M Yeni - Trainer: W Marwing 

This is a weak maiden plate and the form horse, LACONIA may be hard to beat. She has placed in her last three starts over today's distance and Muzi Yeni knows her well. Today is the perfect opportunity for the daughter of Lateral to shed her maiden tag in this line-up.

TOP BET

Race 7: CELTIC SEA (1)

Jockey: G Lerena -  Trainer: S Tarry

CELTIC SEA is making her seasonal debut after a successful KZN campaign. She was the winner of two Grade 1 races including the SA Fillies Sprint and the Garden Province Stakes. She then finished second against males in the Mercury Sprint behind top sprinter Kasimir. The daughter of Captain Al has won two out of four starts over this distance. She is returning from a 16-week break, but is a class above the rest of the field and can kick off her season on a winning note.

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 3: STONE JUDGEMENT (5)

Jockey: K Zechner - Trainer: D Sham 

STONE JUDGEMENT has produced four decent efforts thus far. He had his first run for the Dorrie Sham stable last time. He lost a length at the jump that day, but made late progress to finish fourth behind subsequent winner, Gentleman's Wager. If jumping on terms, he has a good chance of getting it right this afternoon.
