Race 4: ANGELIC(3)
Race 7: ROYAL MASTER(6)
Race 9: TEENAGE DREAM(10)
Race 1: AMAJORY(1)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: P Peter
The speedy AMAJORY recently faced tough going over a longer trip in a strong field and was ‘stuck in the mud’, but on good ground, she’s set to be a front-runner. Trained by Paul Peter with promising form behind her, this minimum distance is just the challenge she needs.
TOP BET
Race 4: ANGELIC(3)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: P Peter
ANGELIC continues her promising rise, securing 3rd over a mile at Turffontein last weekend. Still with room to improve, she appears ready for a stamina test, with ace jockey Gavin Lerena aboard the daughter of Gitano Hernando.
Race 5: AMERICAN INDIAN(8)
Jockey: M Yeni – Trainer: O Ferraris
AMERICAN INDIAN capitalised on a dropped rating to claim a solid 3rd over a mile here four weeks ago. Remaining penalty-free, he’s set for the extra furlong and benefits from a handy weight allowance. With top jockey Yeni retaining the ride, he is a strong contender.
Race 8: CATHEDRAL COUNTY(3)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: Janse van Vuuren
CATHEDRAL COUNTY is a talented, improving horse who bounced back with a solid win recently at this course and distance. Raised four pounds, he still has a promising future and is favourably drawn. Watch out for LADY STARLETT, the top weight who impressed with a strong 3rd at a recent Grade 3 at Turffontein.
VALUE BET (EACH WAY) FOR TODAY:
Race 6: SPRING POETRY(7)
Jockey: G Lerena – Trainer: C Dawson
SPRING POETRY has reached a competitive merit rating and caught attention with a strong 3rd over a mile, despite a tough draw. The Marchfield daughter should thrive over ten furlongs and looks set to turn the tables on CURBSTONE SHUFFLE.
