Top Bet For Today
Race 2: SATYAGRAHA (18)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: S Tarry
SATYAGRAHA caught the eye when third over this C&D on debut. He lost a length leaving the start but finished off his race strongly. The son of One World would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should take a power of beating.
Race 5: CONFEDERATE (1)
Jockey: P Strydom – Trainer: F Habib
CONFEDERATE is lightly raced with good form lines to his credit. He raced from a handy position over 1450m on the Classic course last time, but found one too good in the form of Lava Fire. Piere Strydom is booked to ride and he may be hard to peg back.
Race 6: POMODORO’S JET (2)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: B Crawford
POMODORO‘S JET finished 2.5 lengths behind ARGO ALLEY last time. He is 4kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Craig Zackey steps back into the saddle and he can notch up his sixth-career victory.
Race 7: CHOCOLATE SOLDIE (2)
Jockey: T Mayhew – Trainer: C Spies
CHOCOLATE SOLDIER ran a good race when second over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time. He has won three times and finished second twice from six starts over this distance. The son of One World is having his peak run today and he should be hard to peg back.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: JOHNNY APPLESEED (7)
Jockey: C Maujean – Trainer: T Peter
JOHNNY APPLESEED is better than his last start as he was reported to be fatigued. He finished 1.45 lengths behind BLAZE A WAY in his penultimate run. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The son of Admiral Kitten is likely to race on the speed and he may be hard to peg back.
