TOP BET FOR TODAY
Race 2: MISS TEXAS (5)
Jockey: S Moodley – Trainer: J Snaith
MISS TEXAS is the best bet on the card. She showed good improvement in her local debut over six furlongs on this course. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The daughter of Coup De Grace will enjoy the extra furlong on offer and in this line-up, she can shed her maiden tag.
Race 4: SCARLET CHILL (1)
Jockey: L Hewitson – Trainer: A Wright
SCARLET CHILL took on stronger opposition in her last start over 1750m on the turf. She has won twice, finished second once and third once from six starts on this course. The 5yo mare takes a drop in class today and from pole position, she should be the one to side with.
Race 5: HOPSKIPANDJUMP (6)
Jockey: J Jacobs – Trainer: P Muscutt
HOPSKIPANDJUMP showed good speed last time, but found one too good in the form of Coldhardcash. She has won three times, finished second four times and third once from 14 starts on this course. She gets the ear-muffs re-fitted this afternoon and takes on her own sex. 2.5kgs claiming apprentice Jabu Jacobs has struck up a good relationship with her and the pair can go one better here.
Race 7: TRIP TO AFRICA (8)
Jockey: T Gumede – Trainer: Howells D
This is a competitive MR 97 Handicap and caution is advised. The narrow first selection is TRIP TO AFRICA from the in-form Duncan Howells stable. He set the pace over this C&D last time and fought back well to notch up the victory. 2.5kgs claiming apprentice Thabiso Gumede retains the ride and the combination can notch up the quick double.
VALUE BET FOR TODAY (EACH WAY)
Race 8: SHEIK’S STORM (10)
Jockey: Yeni M – Trainer: Lafferty P
SHEIK’S STORM took on much stronger in her last start over 1750m on the turf. The manner in which she stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. She finished 0.5 lengths behind TOMBOLA, three runs ago. She is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She has finished second twice from as many starts over this C&D and can get back to winning ways.
