TOP BET
Race 1: VAN HALEN (2)
Jockey: C Chambers – Trainer: C Spies
The speedy and highly promising Oratorio colt, VAN HALEN, made a stunning impression when heavily backed on his debut over 800m at this very track in late December. He’s surely strengthened since and is expected to progress smartly. Definitely one to follow with high confidence!
Race 3: FREE AND EASY (2)
Jockey: J Sampson – Trainer: C Spies
The Corne Spies yard could dominate this juvenile contest again, featuring the unbeaten duo FREE AND EASY and MISS BOOMERANG. FREE AND EASY landed an impressive gamble on debut at the Vaal last month and has shown quick recovery and pace, likely improving even more. She receives 2kgs from MISS BOOMERANG, who is also showing speed but has room for improvement despite recent form.
Race 4: LEFT HOOK (6)
Jockey: P Strydom – Trainer: J Soma
LEFT HOOK displayed great improvement finishing second from a tough draw over seven furlongs on this course during his second outing. With a huge advantage of gate 1 today, this son of Seventh Rock looks poised to take on the mile distance with confidence.
Race 5: SABINA’S DYNASTY (2)
Jockey: P Strydom – Trainer: P Peter
SABINA’S DYNASTY demonstrated her true class with brilliant acceleration in her recent 10-furlong victory at this course. Despite a seven-pound penalty, this four-year-old daughter of Dynasty appears ahead of the handicapper and is ready to step up in class. Expect her to follow up with another strong run.
VALUE BET
Race 9: MANHATTAN COCKTAIL (8)
Jockey: L Hewitson – Trainer: M Azzie
The progressive three-year-olds MANHATTAN COCKTAIL and HERO’S HONOUR renew their rivalry today on their respective handicap debuts. Both are fast improving and lightly raced, potentially underrated by the handicapper. HERO’S HONOUR cruised to his maiden win over this c & d last month finishing ahead of MANHATTAN COCKTAIL, albeit the latter was slow into stride but showed strong progress. Now 3kgs better off with his rival, MANHATTAN COCKTAIL could be an entirely different proposition in this thrilling end to the day’s racing.
