Top Bet For Today
Race 2: BATTLEGROUND (1)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: M Houdalakis
BATTLEGROUND was running on too late when second over 2850m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. He won his only attempt over this C&D. The son of Futura is the class horse in the race and can go one better.
Race 4: SOUND MACHINE (3)
Jockey: P Mxoli – Trainer: S Pettigrew
SOUND MACHINE showed very good improvement in her last start over 1400m on the Standside course. She raced from a handy position, but found one too good in the form of Dimako’s Jet. The daughter of Var is a progressive type and from pole position, can go one better.
Race 7: LA MOOHAL (1)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: M de Kock
LA MOOHAL followed up his maiden victory with a good second-place finish over this distance on the Standside course. He challenged strongly all the way to the line, but found one too good in the form of Presley. He jumps from a good draw of two and may be the one to beat.
Race 8: LIL MISS MONEYBAGS (3)
Jockey: K Brewer – Trainer: R Klaasen
LIL MISS MONEYBAGS was her own worst enemy over 1200m last time as she over raced in the early stages. Two of her three career victories have come over this distance. Kaidan Brewer retains the ride and she may be the one to side with.
Value Bet For Today
Race 5: RICHARD THE FIRST (3)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: F Bronkhorst
RICHARD THE FIRST was running on strongly when third over 1200m on the Vaal Classic course last time. He has finished second twice from as many starts on this course. The son of William Longsword will love the rise to 1450m and if not too far out of his ground turning for home, he can return to winning ways.
