Top Bet For Today
Race 1: HERE WITH ME (2)
Jockey: R Danielson – Trainer: A Fortune
HERE WITH ME showed very good improvement when fourth over 1200m on this course last time. The manner in which he stayed on at the finish that day suggests that he will love the rise to 1450m. The son of Coup De Grace is a progressive type and he can win in this type of field.
Race 4: VANDERBILT (1)
Jockey: D Schwarz – Trainer: T Peter
VANDERBILT set the pace over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course last time and found extra where it matters most to hold all challengers at bay. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He has won once and finished second once from as many starts over this C&D. He is carded to race on 03 June 2023 and his progress in that race will need to be monitored.
Race 5: TIRPITZ (6)
Jockey: K Matsunyane – Trainer: B Crawford
TIRPITZ was an easy winner of his last start over this distance at Hollywoodbets Greyville. He took the lead at the 200m mark and quickened away from the opposition. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He is in a good space and if keeping on a straight line, he can follow up.
Race 6: AXEL COLLINS (10)
Jockey: D Schwarz – Trainer: T Peter
AXEL COLLINS finished 1.5 lengths behind CAPTAIN DIZZY last time. He is 2.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He is likely to race on the speed and can notch up his third career victory.

Race 3: PIED KINGFISHER (10)
ockey: S Khumalo – Trainer: M de Kock
PIED KINGFISHER ran a fair race when taking on winners in his last start over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course. He should have finished closer that day as he hung outwards in the final 200m. The son of What A Winter will love the rise to the mile and should be cherry-ripe. S’manga Khumalo takes the ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most.
