Top Bet For Today
Race 1: OPEN HIGHWAY (6)
Jockey: A Domeyer – Trainer: A Fortune
OPEN HIGHWAY produced an eye-catching debut effort over 1000m on the Classic course. He took time to find his feet, but finished his race off strongly. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The son of Var would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the horse to beat.
Race 2: CALA MURETTA (3)
Jockey: SCRATCHED – Trainer: A Fortune
CALA MURETTA made the expected natural improvement when second over 1200m on this course last time. She raced from just off the pace, tried hard but found one too good in the form of Queen Of Camelot. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight is a progressive type and with Aldo Domeyer retaining the ride, she can go one better.
Race 5: WINTER GREETING (4)
Jockey: K de Melo – Trainer: S Tarry
WINTER GREETING was not disgraced when sixth in the Non-Black Type WSB Gold Rush last time. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. The daughter of What A Winter won her first two career outings on this course. She is a filly with ability and if not in need of the run, she should notch up her fourth career victory.
Race 6: MINI COOP (2)
Jockey: D De Gouveia – Trainer: C Dawson
MINI COOP was running on too late when third over 1100m at Turffontein last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. The son of Coup De Grace is having his peak run and will be cherry-ripe. He takes a drop in class and should be the horse to beat.
Value Bet For Today
Race 7: THERE SHE GOES (4)
Jockey: W Marwing – Trainer: W Marwing
THERE SHE GOES stayed on when fifth over 1000m on the Turffontein Inside course last time. She finished 0.8 lengths behind LOLLAPALOOZA, four runs ago. She is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The daughter of Time Thief drops in class and with Wesley Marwing back in the saddle, she may be the one to beat.
