Top Bet For Today
Race 2: MISTER WILSON (2)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: T Peter
MISTER WILSON produced a promising debut effort over this C&D. He showed good speed before tiring late behind Read All About It. The son of Act Of War would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should take a power of beating.
Race 4: JUNIPER GREEN (1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: G Habib
JUNIPER GREEN raced from just off the pace over 1160m at Turffontein last time, but found one too good in the form of Green Sapphire. The daughter of Querari takes a drop in class and jumps from pole position. Gavin Lerena rides and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she should give the males a run for their money.
Race 5: SUTHERLAND (3)
Jockey: P Mxoli – Trainer: S Pettigrew
SUTHERLAND was running on when fourth over 1200m on this course last time. The son of Silvano is having his peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. He takes a drop back in class and will be mowing down the frontrunners from the widest draw.
Race 6: ANOTHER UNIVERSE (3)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: M/A Azzie
ANOTHER UNIVERSE has produced two good runs since winning his maiden over 2000m. He moved up well in his last start over 2000m, before getting outrun. The son of Ideal World finished third over this C&D in his penultimate run. He does have a wide draw to overcome but he gets the services of Gavin Lerena who will give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle.
Value Bet For Today
Race 8: DIVINE MOONLIGHT (4)
Jockey: R Munger – Trainer: W Marwing
DIVINE MOONLIGHT ran a decent race in her comeback run over this C&D. She showed signs of needing that outing and will strip a much fitter horse. It must be noted that multiple horses have come out and won since. Ryan Munger steps into the saddle and on best form shown, she can return to winning ways.
