Race 2: LORD EDWARD (6)
Jockey: R Venniker – Trainer: M Roberts
LORD EDWARD showed good signs of a form return in his last start over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He cast a shoe in running that day which didn’t help his chances. He has won once, finished second once and third once from six starts over this C&D. Rachel Venniker retains the ride and in this field, he can return to winning ways.
Race 4: PERFECT APPEAL (2)
Jockey: R Khathi – Trainer: N Kotzen
PERFECT APPEAL fought hard in her last start, but found one too good in the form of Our Emily. She has won once, finished second twice and third twice from eight starts over this C&D. She is likely to race on the speed from her good draw of two and may be hard to peg back.
Race 5: CERTAINLY (5)
Jockey: J Gates – Trainer: G Kotzen
CERTAINLY is better than her last start in the Non-Black Type World Pool Invitational. She returns from a 10-week break which would have done her the world of good. Her penultimate run when third in the Non-Black Type Okapi Ladies International was encouraging. She takes a slight drop in class and if suited to the polytrack, she can return to winning ways.
Race 6: BOOGIE SHOES (6)
Jockey: K Matsunayne – Trainer: G Rich
BOOGIE SHOES may have just needed her last start over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. She won her two previous outings well on this surface. She would have come on from her last run and will love the step up to 2000m. She is likely to be switched off near the rear of the field and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
Value Bet For Today
Race 3: MAJORCA PALACE (4)
Jockey: S Moodley – Trainer: C Hewitson
MAJORCA PALACE returns from a lengthy 32-week break which would have done him the world of good. He is much better than his last two starts suggest. He has won twice, finished second once and third once from eight starts over this C&D. The 5yo gelding takes a drop-in class and if not in need of the run, he may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
