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.

    • Race 6 Diwali Rocket at 7/1. Has a wide gate to overcome but should enjoy the step back up to 1800m after taking on stronger over 7 furlongs last time.
    • Race 7 Naretoi each way at 20/1. No show last time but some weight turnarounds from previous runs put him in with a squeak. MR dropping and regular jockey back on board.
