Top Bet For Today

Race 4: AMERICAN REBEL (1)

Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: W Marwing

AMERICAN REBEL was squeezed leaving the starting stalls last time and stayed on to finish third. He finished 0.25 lengths behind GUY ALEXANDER, three runs ago. He is 5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. If getting away to a clean start, he can return to winning ways.

Race 6: TAKE YOUR PLACE (6)

Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: St J D Gray

TAKE YOUR PLACE challenged strongly over 1000m on this course last time, but found one too good in the form of Neerah. The daughter of Bezrin is in a good space and can go one better here. MICKE’S BOMB finished 1.8 lengths behind the top choice last time. She is 0.5kgs better off at the weights today which is not enough for the tables to be turned.

Race 7: ANDI’S GIRL (3)

Jockey: T Mayhew – Trainer: M G/ A A Azzie

ANDI‘S GIRL has very good consistent form lines to her credit. She was running on when third in the Listed Summer Pudding Handicap last time. It must be noted that Lady Fallon has come out and won again since. She finished second in her only attempt on this course. The daughter of Fire Away drops to 1200m and she will be doing her best work late.

Race 8: SUPER AWESOME (1)

Jockey: D De Gouveia – Trainer: R Magner

SUPER AWESOME took the lead at the 150m mark over 1450m last time before getting outrun late by New Mexico. He has won twice and finished third once from five starts on this course. He has dropped to a competitive rating and can return to winning ways.

Value Bet For Today

Race 3: DARK SILVER (7)

Jockey: D De Gouveia – Trainer: A Laird

DARK SILVER took the lead at the 400m mark last time, before getting outrun late by Bacchus. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. He won his maiden over this C&D. Diego De Gouveia knows him well and the combination should go close
