TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 2: MAYON (12)
Jockey: V.Rensburg M - Trainer: Houdalakis M
MAYON is the best bet on this afternoon's programme. She produced a promising debut effort over 1400m on this course. She lost a length at the start that day but once finding her feet, she finished her race off well. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The daughter of Duke Of Marmalade would have gained from the experience and will enjoy the extra furlong on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, she should take a power of beating.
Race 4: LITTLEWOOD (12)
Jockey: Strydom P - Trainer: Houdalakis M
LITTLEWOOD is one of the better bets on the card. She has good recent form lines to her credit, under Piere Strydom. She finished 1.05 lengths behind PALACE GREEN last time and is 4.5kgs better off at the weights today. That should be enough for the tables to be turned. She has won once, finished second once and third once from five attempts over this distance. With a bit of luck from her wide draw, she can win this.
Race 6: MONEY FIGHTER (5)
Jockey: Zackey C - Trainer: Houdalakis M
MONEY FIGHTER found plenty of betting support when winning on debut over 1200m on this course. His pilot dropped his crop that day which makes the victory that much more encouraging. He returns from a 14-week break, during which time he would have strengthened up. The son of What A Winter takes on stronger, but he could be anything and may be up to the task at hand.
Race 8: RISE AS ONE (6)
Jockey: Lerena G - Trainer: Janse van Vuur
RISE AS ONE'S last start on the polytrack at Hollywoodbets Greyville can be ignored as she was reported to be not striding out. Her penultimate run when winning over 1200m on the Classic course catches the eye. The daughter of Duke Of Marmalade should be at home over the 1400m and if this run has not come too soon, she should be the one to beat.
VALUE BET
Race 1: JONNY RIPON (13)
Jockey: Schwarz D - Trainer: Laird A
JONNY RIPON is the value bet on today's card. He is lightly raced with fair form to his credit. The manner in which he races suggests that he will be at home over today's distance. The son of Crusade carries just 54kgs today and may be the one to side with
