TOP BET

Race 1: INVIDIA(5)
Jockey: A Marcus  - Trainer: A Fortune

INVIDIA gave a solid account of himself behind winners last time out. That effort came at level weights in a feature. Back in maiden company here, he looks very hard to oppose with Marcus up

 
Race 3: AFRICAN ROCK(1)
Jockey: L Hewitson   - Trainer: S Tarry 

AFRICAN ROCK gave a solid account of himself in that comeback run last time out. He had a very tough draw to overcome in that run and from gate 6 today, he should be able to settle just off the pace with relative ease. He should strip a lot fitter today and over slightly further, he looks the one to beat.

 
Race 7: THREE STARS(3)
Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: S Tarry

THREE STARS takes on the boys here after facing some tough opposition in her last 4 starts. The stable elect from the Tarry yard still looks progressive and on her form over this trip, she rates the one to beat.

 

 
Race 8: WHAT A CAPTAIN(4)
Jockey: R Simons  - Trainer: M De Kock

WHAT A CAPTAIN has been in solid form against some stronger opposition since returning from that rest three starts back. He has dropped to a much more competitive rating now and if repeating that latest effort he should go very close to winning this.

 

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 5: WOODLAND'S FOREST(4)
Jockey: P Strydom  - Trainer: D Botes 

WOODLAND'S FOREST has dropped in the ratings in his last few starts and he is starting to look a lot more competitive now. The blinkers appear to be assisting and with Strydom retaining the ride after a positive showing behind a useful sort last time out, he looks the one to beat over this trip
