Winning Form Best Bets
Race 1: CHICAGO BEAT(4)
Race 3: LIL GAMBLER(1)
Race 7: CAT IN COMMAND(2)
Race 8: READYFORYOURLOVE(4)
TOP BET
Race 1: CHICAGO BEAT(4)
Jockey: Keagan DE MELO – Trainer: Duncan HOWELLS
CHICAGO BEAT has got his act together and his impressive last two sprints on this track have certainly indicated that he is closing in on a first career victory. The expensive son of Silvano gave every indication that he will relish today’s extra furlong and he should take a power of beating despite the wide draw.
Race 3: LIL GAMBLER(1)
Jockey: Athandiwe MGUDLWA – Trainer: Alyson WRIGHT
LIL GAMBLER has got her career firmly back on track and she finished well for a close 2nd over a mile on this track in her comeback run, earlier this year. The 3rd (Disrupt) and 4th (Into The Groove) placed runners have won subsequently to boost that formline and this daughter of Mogok will strip fitter today. She should be a major contender from her good draw.
Race 7: WHAT A POET(3)
Jockey: Anton MARCUS – Trainer: Charles LAIRD
There aren’t any natural frontrunners in this mile handicap and the likely dictator WHAT A POET could have things all his own way under regular pilot Marcus. The imported four-year-old was gelded just eight days after a shocking last performance in yielding conditions on the grass. He had some quality form prior to that and has enjoyed decent success on this course.
Race 8: READYFORYOURLOVE(4)
Jockey: Warren KENNEDY – Trainer: Johan JANSE VAN VUUREN
The strapping bay filly READYFORYOURLOVE has had a staggered career, possibly due to injury, but the switch to this forgiving surface could suit her perfectly. She brings smart Highveld form into this event and the frontrunning import should gallop her rivals into the ground. Her low mass is a huge plus and she should take a power of beating.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY
Race 6: SISTER COSMOS(3)
Jockey: Anthony DELPECH – Trainer: Sean TARRY
There are some really fast types who should come back to their field in the closing stages of this exciting handicap over five furlongs. SISTER COSMOS is plagued with issues but she loves racing on this surface and often produced a strong finish prior to her lengthy absence. The engaging of Delpech suggests that her conditioner will have her fit and ready and she should be picking off her rivals at the death.
