Race 2: BOM BOM (2)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: C Dawson
BOM BOM took time to find his feet on debut, but the manner in which he finished off his race caught the eye.

Top Bet For Today
Race 3: WAR EMPRESS (1)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: A Fortune
WAR EMPRESS should have finished closer to the winner in her comeback run over this C&D as she hung in the final 300m. She was also reported to be coughing post-race. The daughter of Vercingetorix would have come on from the run and will strip much fitter. In this field, she should take a power of beating.
Race 6: DEFENDER OF RIGHTS (1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: S Pettigrew
DEFENDER OF RIGHTS was doing her best work late when second over 1400m at Turffontein last time. She has finished second once and third once from as many starts over this C&D. The blinkers have been re-fitted and she takes a drop-in class. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he may be able to get the best out of her.
Race 7: STRATOSPHERIC (2)
Jockey: D Schwarz – Trainer: T Peter
STRATOSPHERIC followed up his super-impressive maiden win with an eye-catching victory over this C&D. Despite over racing in the early stages, he quickened up well and drew clear of the opposition. The son of What A Winter makes his Handicap debut and can notch up the hat-trick.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: MCEBISI (3)
Jockey: C Maujean – Trainer: C Spieks
MCEBISI produced a typical second run after a rest last time. His comeback run when third over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside course was encouraging. He continues to drop in the ratings and from pole position, is capable of returning to winning ways in this line-up.
