Top Bet For Today
Race 2: PURPLE POWAHOUSE (7)
Jockey: R A Venniker – Trainer: A Wright
PURPLE POWAHOUSE finished 2.6 lengths behind STEVIE GEE last time. He is 6kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. Three of his four career victories have come over this C&D. The 7yo gelding may be rewarded for consistency.
Race 5: GRIFFIN PARK (6)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: M J Odendaal
GRIFFIN PARK is much better than his last two starts suggest. He has taken on stronger company in both those efforts. It must be noted that the form of his last outing has been franked. He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. He takes a drop in class and will be hard to peg back.
Race 6: MYSTERIOUS GIRL (4)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: Y Govender
MYSTERIOUS GIRL won a good race in her last start over 1900m on the turf track. She raced from a handy position and kept finding all the way to the line. She finished second in her only attempt over this C&D. S’manga Khumalo retains the ride and the combination merit healthy respect.
Race 7: SILENT TRIGGER (1)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: B Botes
SILENT TRIGGER was running on when second over this distance at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. He has won once and finished second twice from seven starts over this distance. The 5yo gelding has dropped to a competitive mark and from pole position, he should be the one to beat in this field.
Value Bet For Today
Race 3: WAR EMPRESS (5)
Jockey: T Godden – Trainer: L Goosen
WAR EMPRESS finished 0.5 lengths behind RAPID FIRE last time. She is 4.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She finished 2.05 lengths behind KENNEDY in her penultimate run. She is 3kgs better off at the weights and should turn the form around. Tristan Godden is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most.
