Top Bet For Today
Race 5: FUSHIMI INARI (7)
Jockey: K Lihaba – Trainer: S Pettigrew
FUSHIMI INARI should have won his last start as he shifted away from the crop in the closing stages. He finished 0.5 lengths behind POSITIVE ATTITUDE that day and is 0.5kgs better off at the weights. There should not be much separating the pair in the run down to the line. He has won once and finished second twice from as many starts on this course. With a bit of luck in running, he should find himself in the winner’s enclosure.
Race 6: OCTOBER FAIR (3)
Jockey: S Moodley – Trainer: S Tarry
OCTOBER FAIR stayed on at the finish over this distance last time, but found one too good in the form of Mighty Goddess. She has won once, finished second once and third once from as many starts over this distance. The daughter of Silvano will strip a much fitter horse today and she can go one better.
Race 7: FULLY LOADED (1)
Jockey: D Schwarz – Trainer: F Habib
FULLY LOADED is a winner of his last two starts, the latest of which was over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course. He has finished second once and third once from as many starts over this C&D. Despite his big mass of 62kgs, he can notch up the hat-trick.
Race 8: ALABAMA ANNA (5)
Jockey: C Zackey – Trainer: M Houdalakis
ALABAMA ANNA has good consistent form lines to her credit. She took the lead at the 250m mark last time before getting caught in the shadow of the post by Duenna. All four of her career victories have come on this course. She faces stronger but is in a good space and may be rewarded for consistency.
Value Bet For Today
Race 3: ULTIMISSIMO (10)
Jockey: D Schwarz – Trainer: J Roux
ULTIMISSIMO has shown improvement in her last two starts. She raced from just off the pace last time and stayed on at the finish. The daughter of Fire Away is a progressive type and in this field, she can shed her maiden tag.
