Winning Form Best Bets
Race 1: MIGHTY GODDESS (1)
Race 4: PACIFIC EXPRESS (6)
Race 5: REMEMBER WHEN (4)
Race 8: MIRREN (1)
Magic Tips Best Bets
Race 1: ASIYE PHAMBILI (4)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: S Tarry
ASIYE PHAMBILI received a bump leaving the starting stalls last time, moved up but may have cost herself winning as she hung in the latter stages. The daughter of What A Winter makes her way to the Highveld and from a good draw of three, she should take a power of beating.
Race 3: BATTLEGROUND (3)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: M Houdalakis
BATTLEGROUND showed the natural improvement when finishing second over 1600m at the Vaal last time. The manner in which he stayed on at the finish that day suggests that he will enjoy the extra 100m on offer. The son of Futura is a progressive type and from pole position, is the horse to beat.
Top Bet For Today
Race 7: BALLROOM BLISS (2)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: B Botes
BALLROOM BLISS finished 0.7 lengths behind TERRA TIME last time. She is 1kg better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. She finished 0.5 lengths behind SOUTHERN SONG in her penultimate run and is 0.5kgs better off at the weights. There should not be much separating the pair in the run down to the line. If seeing out the 2000m, she should go one better.
Race 8: CAPE BOUQUET (1)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: B Botes
MIRREN is a winner of her last two starts over this C&D. She raced from a handy position last time, found another kick and held all challengers at bay. S’manga Khumalo retains the ride and she can notch up the hat-trick.
Value Bet For Today
Race 4: PACIFIC EXPRESS (6)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: B Botes
PACIFIC EXPRESS showed very good improvement when finishing fourth in her last start over 1500m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. The manner in which she stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. She returns from a 10-week break, during which time she changed stables. S’manga Khumalo takes the ride and if not in need of the run, she can win.
