Race 4: THE ULTIMATE KING (13)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: T Peter
THE ULTIMATE KING showed very good improvement when third over 1500m on the Vaal Classic course last time. He was slow into stride but stayed on nicely at the finish. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. The son of Vercingetorix will love the rise to 1800m. He is drawn widest of all in barrier 13, but gets the services of Gavin Lerena who will give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle.
Race 5: ARTIST’S MODEL (1)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: M De Kock
ARTIST’S MODEL is better than his last start in the Grade 2 Betway Dingaans. He returns from an 11- week break which would have done him the world of good. The son of Buffalo Bill Cody will love the rise to 1800m. Muzi Yeni steps back into the saddle and he may be the one to side with.
Race 7: PURPLE PITCHER (1)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: R Klaasen
PURPLE PITCHER is better than his last start as he was reported to be not striding out. His penultimate run when second in the Grade 1 Betway Summer Cup was encouraging. Two of his seven career victories have come over this distance. He is likely to race on the speed and can return to winning ways.
Race 8: YAMADORI (3)
Jockey: P Mxoli – Trainer: JJ van Vuuren
YAMADORI should have won his last start as he hung inwards in the final 400m. He has won twice, finished second once and third twice from nine starts over this distance. If keeping on a straight line, he should be hard to peg back.
Value Bet For Today
Race 6: VEGAS HI RISE (2)
Jockey: N Nastili – Trainer: F Habib
VEGAS HI RISE is better than his last start over this C&D. He finished 1.25 lengths behind WARM WINTER NITE in his penultimate run. He is 5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He drops back in class and can notch up his sixth-career victory.
