The long-time maiden FONTEYN recently showed a smart return to form over a shorter distance in a similar field. She is the clear form pick for this race. The bay filly will come fitter after this recent pleasing run and the mile distance suits her perfectly. She’s the sole representative from her stable on the day.

Race 4: TOP CLASSMAN (2)
Jockey: Muzi Yeni Trainer: Frank Robinson
TOP CLASSMAN is a versatile runner who should have strengthened after a well-deserved ten-week break following a tough run last month. He nearly broke his maiden over longer last time out and showed promise on this surface previously. Drawn to advantage, he holds strong claims in this competitive race.

PENULTIMATE has a preference for this forgiving surface and recently revealed his true potential on local debut, showing a strong finish over seven furlongs. He picked up a six-pound penalty but has more to offer and racing over six furlongs suits him well. With a likely fast pace, this son of Captain Al is in fine form and well drawn.

ZARNITSA is a speedy filly who excels at this minimum distance, which explains her moderate efforts in feature company last season. She has likely improved during her long break and showed ease in winning her maiden over this course and distance before the break. Despite a wide draw, she’s well placed on her seasonal handicap debut with great claims.

VALUE BET FOR TODAY
Race 1: CITY OF STARS (5)
Jockey: Dennis Schwarz Trainer: Belinda Impey
CITY OF STARS had valid excuses last time out and should favour a return to this sprint distance. The Mogok filly has shown ability at this level and can cause an upset, especially with a promising 2.5kg claiming apprentice in the saddle. Her speed from the gate should help her overcome a wide draw.
