Top Bet For Today
Race 4: MISS HANNIGAN (5)
Jockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: F Habib
MISS HANNIGAN won a good race in her last start over 1600m at Turffontein. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. S’manga Khumalo retains the ride and from pole position, she is the horse to beat.
Race 6: GIMMEACHOICE (3)
Jockey: C Habib – Trainer: T Peter
GIMMEACHOICE finished 0.5 lengths behind ARCHIMIDES last time. He is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He is lightly raced with plenty of scope and should be the horse to beat.
Race 7: MASTER CHRISTMAS (2)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: M Houdalakis
MASTER CHRISTMAS fought hard for his last victory over this distance. He has won twice from three starts on this course. The son of Master Of My Fate is on the up and he should follow up with another victory.
Race 8: MIGHTY GODDESS (4)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: W Marwing
MIGHTY GODDESS has good consistent form lines to her credit. She challenged strongly over 1800m last time but found one too good in the form of Ariel’s Jet. She has won once, finished second once and third once from as many starts over this distance. She will strip a much fitter horse today and can notch up her fourth-career victory.
Value Bet For Today
Race 5: CELTIC RUSH (5)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: D Neiuwenhuizen
CELTIC RUSH’S last two starts have been decent. He raced from a handy position over 1700m last time before getting carried off a straight line in the closing stages. He won his only attempt over this distance. Kabelo Matsunyane is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
