Top Bet For Today
Race 2: SUPER AWESOME (7)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: R Magner
SUPER AWESOME is the best bet on the programme. He showed good speed over this distance last time, tried hard but found one too good in the form of King Rahul. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. The son of Capetown Noir meets the right field here and he should take a power of beating.
Race 3: VIVA DE JANEIRO (1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: J Janse
VIVA DE JANEIRO challenged strongly in his last start over 1400m at Turffontein, but found one too good in the form of Archimides. The son of Oratorio is the form horse in the race and may find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 5: LEAO ALADO (8)
Jockey: J Syster – Trainer: R Magner
LEAO ALADO challenged strongly in his last start over 1800m on the Turffontein Inside course, but found one too good in the form of Youre My Sunshine. The son of Alado will love the rise to 2000m and if jumping on terms, he can go one better.
Race 6: CAPE LIGHTS (1)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: R Sage
CAPE LIGHTS was given a peach of a ride when winning her last start over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course. She has won twice and finished second three times from as many starts over this distance. The daughter of Ideal World meets similar company this afternoon and can follow up.
Value Bet For Today
LULU’S BOY (5)
Jockey: D Schwarz – Trainer: J Roux
LULU’S BOY finished 1.5 lengths behind FULLY LOADED last time. He is 2kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. All three of his victories have come over this distance. If allowed to use his early gate speed, he should be hard to peg back.
