Top Bet For Today
Race 1: WINDS OF CHANGE (8)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: M/A Azzie
WINDS OF CHANGE has produced two good second place finishes to date. He lost a length leaving the start in the Grade 3 City Of Cape Town Cape Of Good Hope Nursery last time but stayed on well at the finish. The son of What A Winter is a progressive type and in this field, he should take a power of beating.
Race 3: OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE (1)
Jockey: D Schwarz – Trainer: F Habib
OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE has found a form return in his last two starts. He set the pace over 2400m on this course last time but was caught late by Positive Attitude. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The 7yo gelding steps up to 2800m and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he can go one better.
Race 5: CAPE LIGHTS (1)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: R Sage
CAPE LIGHTS had to overcome a wide draw in her last start over this distance at Turffontein. She finished third in her only attempt over this C&D. Her form prior to her last outing was consistent. If putting her best foot forward, she is capable of returning to winning ways.
Race 8: AMBER ROCK (1)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: M/A Azzie
AMBER ROCK took on stronger company in her last start over this distance at Turffontein. Her penultimate run when third over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside course was encouraging. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight takes on her own sex, drops in class and should notch up her second-career victory.

Race 7: QUE CEU AZUL (4)
Jockey: P Strydom – Trainer: J Soma
QUE CEU AZUL has shown improvement in her last two starts, the latest of which was over this C&D. She raced from a handy position last time, but found one too good in the form of Mia Fiore. The daughter of Querari has dropped to a competitive rating and with Piere Strydom retaining the ride, she can go one better.
