TOP BET
Race 1: HARLAN COUNTY(8)
Jockey: Keagan DE MELO – Trainer: Gavin VAN ZYL
Jockey: Keagan DE MELO – Trainer: Gavin VAN ZYL
The well-bred HARLAN COUNTY was unfancied when he produced a high class debut over shorter on this course two weeks ago. The chestnut gelding was slow into stride but finished powerfully, only to be denied victory narrowly to a form entrant. He finished just under half a length in front of the much improved 3rd placed entrant FINDING TROY and should have plenty of progress to come. The mile should be right up his alley and he jumps from a better draw this time around.
Race 2: HOLIDAY ROMANCE(2)
Jockey: Callan MURRAY – Trainer: Mike DE KOCK
HOLIDAY ROMANCE is progressing steadily and she went close in a competitive line-up over shorter on this track recently. She was just a neck adrift of the runner-up TIGERLACE and the daughter of Dynasty will prefer the step-up to the mile. She is drawn well once again and should continue to progress. The latter has an affinity for this tight circuit but will need to prove herself over the mile. That said, she also has scope for improvement and has her peak showing.
Race 6: BELLA SONATA(1)
Jockey: Keagan DE MELO – Trainer: Gavin VAN ZYL
Jockey: Keagan DE MELO – Trainer: Gavin VAN ZYL
The classy mare BELLA SONATA had a great last campaign with two placings at the highest level before she failed over ten furlongs last time out. The daughter of Silvano is much better up to a mile and of course she went down narrowly after a strong finish in this contest a year ago. She has half a length to find with SHE’S A GIVER on their clash at Greyville in a Grade 1 on ‘July Day’ but is 0.5kg to the good.
Race 7: NEW PREDATOR(1)
Jockey: Gavin LERENA – Trainer: Johan A Janse VAN VUUREN
Just nine entrants head to post for this Grade 2 contest which features some high quality sorts and the lack of a natural pacesetter makes things extremely interesting. The entire’ NEW PREDATOR gets his regular pilot in the saddle and his top jockey will have no fear in assuming control of the race. The imported son of New Approach has the right credentials having enjoyed a solid last season that culmin- ated in a 3rd placed finish in a Grade 1 sprint at Greyville in July.
VALUE BET FOR TODAY:
Race 3: MICHAEL(4)
Jockey: Lukas BESTER – Trainer: Stephen MOFFATT
MICHAEL is ideally c & d suited and he can exact revenge on a few who comfortably accounted for him over shorter on this course behind Llandudno two weeks ago. The bay colt is yet again his jockey’s solitary ride on the card. DISCOVERER was easily beaten by the top selection when making steady progress for 4th over this track & trip last month but he could still be best of the balance.
