We bring you our tips for every South African race meeting along with the key indicators to help identify horses dropping in class, those who stand out on collateral form lines and those who have performed well over course and distance. We also have race previews and videos, tipster comparison sheets and links to download the race cards

    • Race 6 Typically French, Shifting Path, Vivo Per Lei, Ozark, Wave Of Glory

  • Our picks for the day, note odds are correct as of 12:00 on Tuesday 6th October but are subject to change

    • Race 4 Sylt each way at 10/1. Yet to threaten in 3 runs so far but probably needed the experience of each of those races and there isn’t a lot of depth to this field in terms of raced runners.
    • Race 6 Bolero at 33/10. Won readily on second start when backed. That was on wet and with further improvement set to come can go in again.
    • Race 7 Better Man at 5/2. Has been running against stronger, has form in wet and has gone well here in the past. Widest gate but a small field.
    • Race 8 Captain’s Angel at 28/10. Was highly tried in 2 of 5 runs and went close in the other 3. Arguably boasts the best form in the race and if a recent gelding has the desired effect should run a big race.

    • Race 2 Piteraq to run in the first 3 at 14/10. Up against some less exposed rivals but has run best races over this trip (1000m) and can earn with Yeni retaining the ride.
    • Race 4 Cool Gambler at 4/1. Huge improvement from 1st to 2nd run, winning comfortably. That form line yet to produce but could easily be ahead of his rating which may not be the case with some of his market rivals.
    • Race 6 Power Of Pearls at 5/1. Off 91 days but has won when back from a break before. Up 6 points for 2nd career win last time out but can still make a bold bid
