Top Bet For Today
Race 3: WILLIAM IRON ARM (1)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: T Peter
WILLIAM IRON ARM raced from a handy position last time, fought hard but found one too good in the form of Joker Man. He has won once, finished second once and third once from as many starts over this distance. He is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to peg back.
Race 5: FOSTINOVO (1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: J A Jansev/Vuuren
FOSTINOVO has fair consistent form lines to his name. He was slow into stride over 1200m last time and stayed on to finish third. The blinkers seem to have done the trick and if getting away to a clean start, he can return to winning ways.
Race 6: MISS HANNIGAN (2)
Jockey: D Schwarz – Trainer: F Habib
MISS HANNIGAN is a winner of her last two starts, the latest of which was over 1500m on this course. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. She received a five-pound penalty for her last victory. She is in a good space and can notch up the hat-trick.
Race 7: ELEMBEE (2)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: S Tarry
ELEMBEE should have won her last start as she was baulked for running room between the 400m mark and 100m mark. She has won once and finished third once from four starts on this course. She should have no issues with the rise to 2000m and with luck in running, she should find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
Value Bet For Today
Race 9: PROFESSOR SNAPE (4)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: J A Janse v/Vuuren
PROFESSOR SNAPE showed good improvement in his last start over 1600m on this course. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He takes a drop in class and should strip much fitter. He is drawn wide but Kabelo Matsunyane retains the ride and he should give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle.
