Top Bet For Today
Race 1: FORT LAUDERDALE (1)
Jockey: K Matthew – Trainer: B Botes/Y Vosloo
FORT LAUDERDALE has produced two good efforts since returning from a 35-week break. He showed good speed last time, but found one too good in the form of Cosmic Star. The son of The United States will be cherry-ripe and the blinkers should keep his mind on the task at hand. In this line-up, he should take a power of beating.
Race 4: CHROME TOURMALINE (11)
Jockey: T Matsoele – Trainer: F Habib
CHROME TOURMALINE produced a promising debut effort over 1000m on the Classic course. She should have finished closer to the winner that day as her pilot dropped his reins at the 200m mark. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight would have come on from the run and will love the extra furlong on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, she should be the horse to beat in this field.
Race 5: PEMBROKE (1)
Jockey: C Mabaya – Trainer: M De Kock
PEMBROKE showed improvement in his last start over 1160m at Turffontein. He was reported to be not striding out that day which makes the effort that much more encouraging. The 11-week break would have done him the world of good and if not in need of the run, he should be the one to beat in this field.
Race 6: ON THE GUEST LIST (1)
Jockey: A Feni – Trainer: M de Kock
ON THE GUEST LIST raced from a handy position over 2000m last time, tried hard but found one too good in the form of Maith An Cailin. Anathi Feni retains the ride and in this line-up, she should go one better.
Value Bet For Today
Race 7: MANZ KNIGHT (6)
Jockey: S Myendeki – Trainer: P Matchett
MANZ KNIGHT was not disgraced when fifth against winners in his last start over 2000m on the Turffontein Inside course. He finished second in his first two career efforts on this course. He returns to Maiden Company and with a bit of luck from the widest draw, he should be the horse to beat.
