Race 2: SWEET AND TRUE (6)
Jockey: L Mxothwa – Trainer: S Kotzen
SWEET AND TRUE produced a promising debut effort over 1000m on this course. He challenged strongly all the way to the line, but found one too good in the form of Hideki. The son of Oratorio would have gained from the experience and should love the extra furlong on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the one to beat.
Race 4: AND WE DANCED (2)
Jockey: L Mxothwa– Trainer: S Kotzen
AND WE DANCED set the pace over 1600m last time, fought hard but found one too good in the form of United Express. She finished 2.25 lengths behind LUNA HALO in her penultimate run. She is 5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. From pole position, she may be rewarded for consistency.
Race 5: FERRANDO (1)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: K Mitchley
FERRANDO stayed on when second over 1200m on this course last time. He has won once, finished second once and third once from six starts over this distance. The 5yo gelding meets the right field and S’manga Khumalo may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
Race 7: BOURNEMOUTH (2)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: N Kotzen
BOURNEMOUTH ran a fair race over 2700m on this course last time. It is encouraging that Richard Fourie steps back into the saddle. He will love the extra 100m on offer and if not too far out of his ground turning for home, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Value Bet For Today
Race 6: LIGHT WITHOUT (3)
Jockey: D Schwarz – Trainer: E Kaknis
LIGHT WITHOUT ran a good race when third over 1800m on this course last time. He raced from a handy position and stayed on at the finish. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He has won once, finished second once and third once from five starts over this C&D. From his good draw of three, he should notch up his fourth-career victory.
