Race 5: BOLLEMAKIESIE (7)
Race 8: OLYMPIC POWER (1)
Race 9: LEO ZODIAC (7)
Race 10: ANGLET (2)
Jockey: F Herholdt – Trainer: D McKenzie
The lightly raced CURVED LIGHT has impressive course and distance form and looks to be a strong contender. She notably finished ahead of LOVE TALK last run, who was just a length behind, making this a compelling race to watch.
TOP BET
Race 4: GREEN FIELD (7)
Jockey: L Hewitson – Trainer: Y Bremner
GREEN FIELD showed promising form recently, finishing 3rd behind noted Cape visitors Hotel Cipriani and Saltoro Ridge over a mile. Coming off an eleven-week break, he’s expected to be fitter and should thrive with the likely strong gallop over seven furlongs despite a wide draw.
Race 6: BEATABOUTTHEBUSH (2)
Jockey: G Cheyne – Trainer: A Greeff
The pace is expected to be solid again, favouring BEATABOUTTHEBUSH’s quick acceleration. This four-year-old daughter of Gimmethegreenlight put in a strong finish behind STAR BURST GALAXY recently, and with a 2kg weight advantage plus an extra furlong, she’s primed for a win.
Jockey: R Danielson – Trainer: D Sham
Despite some setbacks, the lightly raced five-year-old LEO ZODIAC could be the ideal fit for this provincial line-up. He made an eye-catching course and distance effort in a novice race recently, escaping a penalty due to a technicality. If he repeats that form here at a lower level, he’s a serious threat.
VALUE BET
Jockey: M Thackeray – Trainer: D Sham
BACKSLASH is a versatile filly with decent form on polytrack. Her career-best run came over this course and distance against winners in April, and she’s well drawn here to be a key contender.
