Top Bet For Today
Race 1: NELLIE MELBA (1)
Jockey: R Fourie – Trainer: P Muscutt
NELLIE MELBA was doing her best work late when second over 1200m on this course last time. The daughter of Oratorio is a progressive type and will love the step up to 1400m. From pole position, she should take a power of beating.
Race 4: ANCIENT WORLD (2)
Jockey: T Godden – Trainer: M Miller
ANCIENT WORLD was running on when third over 1950m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The son of Vercingetorix should have no issues with the drop to 1600m and in this small field, he can return to winning ways.
Race 5: GIVERS GRACE (5)
Jockey: S Moodley – Trainer: C Hewitson
GIVERS GRACE has found a form return in her last two starts over 1750m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. She was running on when second in a strong field last time. The daughter of Hat Puntano takes a drop- in class and if this run has not come too soon, she can return to winning ways.
Race 8: JET LEGACY (1)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: A Wright
JET LEGACY caught the eye when running on to finish third over 1200m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. He should have finished closer to the winner that day as he had to be switched for running room in the latter stages. He would have come on from the outing and should strip much fitter. He has no issues with the drop to 1000m and in this type of field, he should take a power of beating.

Race 6: IMILENZEYOKUDUDUMA (8)
Jockey: A Mgudlwa – Trainer: G van Zyl
IMILENZEYOKUDUDUMA ran a decent race in his first run for the Gareth van Zyl stable. He stayed on to finish fourth over a distance short of his best. He has won twice from three starts over this trip. He will strip a much fitter horse and with luck in running, he can notch up his fifth career victory.
