TOP BET FOR TODAY

Race 3: FOLK DANCE(1)

Jockey: W Kennedy   - Trainer:  P Peter 

FOLK DANCE jumped inwards in her last start over seven furlongs, but still managed to run on well in the closing stages to only finish one length behind the winner. That was over seven furlongs and she should appreciate stepping up to the mile today.

TOP BET

Race 5: TURF MASTER(2)

Jockey: R Munger   - Trainer: H Adamson

TURF MASTER likes to set the pace in his races and whilst he is yet to attempt this distance, he did challenge strongly in his last start over ten furlongs, which would suggest that he will cope with the extra distance.

Race 6: ORAVAR(4)

Jockey: L Hewitson   - Trainer: M Azzie

ORAVAR showed plenty of toe and found extra to win his last start over the minimum distance. It is encouraging that Lyle Hewitson has kept faith with the ride.

Race 7: WHAT A RED(1)

Jockey: M Yeni     - Trainer: D Botes

WHAT A RED won her first start for her new stable over this minimum trip. She showed pace and stayed on well in the closing stages. She has her second start after a rest, but title chasing Muzi Yeni does retain the ride and she seems up to completing a hat-trick of wins this afternoon

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 8: WHAT A JOKER(8)

Jockey:  L Hewitson   - Trainer : D Botes 

WHAT A JOKER has his second run after a rest, but the manner in which he finished off his last race to win going away would suggest that he is capable of following up here. Lyle Hewitson retains the mount which is always a good sign.
