Race 2: ILHA DA MAURICIA (1)
Jockey: L Mxothwa – Trainer: B Crawford
ILHA DA MAURICIA hails from the visiting Brett Crawford stable. She stayed on when third over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time. The daughter of Silvano finished second in her only attempt over this distance. She does not meet a strong field and from pole position, she should find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 5: AND WE DANCED (2)
Jockey: L Mxothwa – Trainer: S Kotzen
AND WE DANCED finished 1 length behind stable companion, WINGS OF FIRE last time. She is 3.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She has won three times and finished second twice from as many starts over this C&D. Despite her big mass of 62kgs, she should notch up her eighth career victory.
Race 6: VISION OF WONDER (1)
Jockey: J P v’d Merwe – Trainer: G Smith
VISION OF WONDER showed good speed before winning the Listed East Cape Nursery with ease last time. The son of Visionaire is now unbeaten from two starts over this C&D. He is a horse with class and should be hard to catch in the run down to the line.
Race 7: PERFECTION (1)
Jockey: J P v’d Merwe – Trainer: G Smith
PERFECTION was a beaten favourite in the Derby Plate last time. He finished 2.5 lengths behind HEATHCLIFF that day. He is 3kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He tries the 2400m for the first time and if allowed to dictate his own terms in front, he may be hard to peg back.
Value Bet For Today
Race 9: GREAT MELODY (7)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: G Smith
Trainer Gavin Smith holds a strong hand in the lucky last and the first selection is GREAT MELODY. He showed good speed over 1200m last time, but was outrun late by Pedro. He has won twice and finished third once from as many starts over this C&D. The son of Great Britain is in a good space and may be the one to beat.
