Race 2: BENGUELA COVE (11)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: E Verdonese
BENGUELA COVE is the best bet on the card. The daughter of Querari produced a promising debut effort over this C&D. The manner in which she finished off her race that day caught the eye. The daughter of Querari would have come on with the run under her belt and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should take a power of beating.
Race 5: PRINCE EVLANOFF (2)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: A Laird
PRINCE EVLANOFF was ultra-impressive when winning his last start over 1800m at Turffontein. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The son of Flower Alley should have no issues with the drop in distance and can notch up his fifth career victory.
Race 6: FULL VELOCITY (2)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: S Tarry
FULL VELOCITY ran a good race when finishing fourth in the Grade 3 Magnolia Handicap last time. She has won twice and finished second twice from as many starts over this distance. The daughter of Philanthropist will strip much fitter and can return to winning ways. She is carded to race on 20 December 2021 and her progress in that race will need to be checked.
Race 7: WHAT A HONEY (2)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: M Houdalakis
WHAT A HONEY was an impressive winner when shedding her maiden tag over this C&D. She raced from just off the pace, quickened up well and won with a ton in hand. The daughter of What A Winter makes her Handicap debut, but she has plenty of scope and should be up to the task at hand.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: ABALUS (6)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: A Fortune
ABALUS was far from disgraced when finishing third behind stable companion Bard Of Avon last time. She has won once, finished second twice and third once from seven starts over this distance. She is well-weighted in this contest and should give the males a run for their money.
