Top Bet For Today
Race 2: RAFIKI (3)
Jockey: R Khathi – Trainer: W Nel
RAFIKI’S last two starts at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth in work riders races have been decent. He showed good speed over 1000m last time, but was outrun late. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won again since. He has his first run on this course and from his good draw of three, he should be the horse to beat.
Race 3: MISS DORA (2)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: K Naidoo
MISS DORA has shown good improvement in her last two starts. She finished 0.05 lengths behind COUNTY KILDARE last time. She is 3.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She meets the right field this afternoon and can shed her maiden tag. She is carded to race on 30 December 2022 and her progress in that race will need to be monitored.
Race 6: GREEN DREAM (5)
Jockey: T Godden – Trainer: L Crawford
GREEN DREAM finished 0.6 lengths behind ROYAL KITTY 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 once, finished second twice and third once from eight starts over this C&D. Tristan Godden retains the ride and she can notch up her third career victory.
Race 8: FEELING GROOVY (2)
Jockey: A Arries – Trainer: G Kotzen
FEELING GROOVY was her own worst enemy over 1800m last time as she overraced in the early stages. She has won once and finished second once from three starts over this distance. She has dropped to a competitive rating and from her good draw of two, she may be hard to peg back.
Value Bet For Today
Race 5: VALERIAN NIGHT (4)
Jockey: T Godden – Trainer: P Muscutt
VALERIAN NIGHT was in need of his debut effort over 1400m on the turf. He jumped outwards when leaving barrier 13 on debut before settling near the rear of the field. He was green in running, but the manner in which he stayed on at the finish was encouraging. The son of Jackson would have come on from the run and will love the rise to 1700m. He tries the Polytrack and from his good draw of four, he should make the natural improvement.
