Top Bet For Today
Race 1: BLIZZARD SNOW (8)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: T Peter
BLIZZARD SNOW showed good speed over this distance at the Vaal last time, but was caught late by His Lordship. The daughter of Erupt is a progressive type and Gavin Lerena may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most.
Race 2: INSPECTOR JAMES (6)
Jockey: P Strydom – Trainer: J A Janse v/Vuuren
INSPECTOR JAMES‘ last start can be ignored as he took an awkward stride leaving the start and the jockey was dislodged. His penultimate run when second over 1000m on the Standside course was quite eye-catching. Piere Strydom is booked to ride and if getting away to a clean start, he should take a power of beating.
Race 4: ICHACHA (9)
Jockey: DP Mxoli – Trainer: S Pettigrew
ICHACHA has produced two good runs to date. He moved up like a winner over 1450m last time, but found one too good in the form of Heather’s Boy. The son of Danon Platina is a progressive type and should love the rise to the mile. From his good draw of four, he may be the one to side with.
Race 9: APACHE SON (10)
Jockey: P Mxoli – Trainer: T Zackey
APACHE SON is a winner of his last two starts after the gelding. He ran on strongly over 1800m on this course last time and won easier than the official margin suggests. The drop to a mile is a slight concern, but he is in a good space and has ability. Philasande Mxoli knows him well and he should bring up the hat-trick.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: EIFFEL TOWER (1)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: St J D Gray
EIFFEL TOWER found betting support when showing signs of a form return in his last start over this distance on the Vaal Classic course. He has finished second once and third once from as many starts on this course. The son of Potala Palace takes a drop in class and it is encouraging that Muzi Yeni sticks with the ride. He is capable of returning to winning ways in this field.
