TOP BET

Race 1: GREEN LASER(10)
Jockey: M Yeni    - Trainer: R Sage 

GREEN LASER was quietly fancied on his fair debut over the minimum trip earlier this year and he should enjoy today's extra furlong. That formline hasn't been inspiring but his conqueror appears a smart sort in the making and this well-bred bay colt should make natural improvement.

 
Race 3: GOT THE GREENLIGHT(7)
Jockey: S Khumalo - Trainer: JA Soma

GOT THE GREENLIGHT was fancied when he showed pace and stayed on for 2nd behind a heavily supported de Kock inmate on his promising debut over the minimum trip on this course four weeks ago.

 

 
Race 5: CELTIC SEA(2)
Jockey: L Hewitson  - Trainer: S Tarry

The high quality three-year old filly CELTIC SEA had an eye-catching effort despite being her customary slow starting self and she is unsurprisingly best weighted in this assessment contest featuring six entrants. Of course she was Grade 1 placed as a juvenile so this drop in distance won't pose an issue.

 
Race 7: FOREST EXPRESS(1)
Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: S Tarry

The four-year old filly FOREST EXPRESS has developed into a quality stayer and she had promising form before the 19 week absence. Her latest conqueror American Indian has won since and despite the Tarry inmate being slightly out at the weights with her male counterparts, her swift turn of foot should come in handy in this small field.

 

VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:

Race 6: BATTLE CREEK(6)
Jockey: K Zechner  - Trainer: D Sham 

BATTLE CREEK hit his top stride late over the minimum trip a fortnight ago and is far more comfortable over today's extra furlong. Of course he has just over three lengths to find with CERTIFIABLE on their c & d clash behind Basilius early last month but he is 2.5kgs better off.
