TOP BET FOR THE DAY
Race 1: TOP CLASSMAN(5)
Jockey: Diego DE GOUVEIA Trainer: Frank ROBINSON
Race 1: TOP CLASSMAN(5)
Jockey: Diego DE GOUVEIA Trainer: Frank ROBINSON
TOP CLASSMAN has shown promising form and seemed a bit sharp over a mile in his comeback run two weeks ago. He was close over a mile and a half prior and should relish the longer trip today. The son of Mogok will be fitter and is a strong contender in the opener. The only concern is his apprentice jockey, as the colt may test the young rider. Ultimately, gelding could be beneficial.

Race 2: FLAMENCO DANCER(9)
Jockey: Anthony DELPECH – Trainer: Dennis BOSCH
FLAMENCO DANCER is well-bred and has demonstrated potential in two starts so far, although she narrowly missed a big win over a mile at this track recently. Her impressive debut run was a highlight, and it’s encouraging that her top jockey stays aboard this daughter of Trippi, who has the best draw of all.

Race 5: QUEEN’S PLAIN(7)
Jockey: Anthony DELPECHE – Trainer: Duncan HOWELLS
Jockey: Anthony DELPECHE – Trainer: Duncan HOWELLS
QUEEN’S PLAIN had a somewhat underwhelming second run in a similar field but is packed with ability, evident from her exciting first win. She faces a tough challenge but should benefit from a strong pace today and definitely merits another shot.

Race 9: BYLINE(11)
Jockey: Diego DE GOUVEIA- Trainer: Duncan HOWELLS
Jockey: Diego DE GOUVEIA- Trainer: Duncan HOWELLS
BYLINE was a dark horse in her debut over this course and distance in a competitive race earlier this month. She was slow to start and a bit green but finished strongly just outside the money. This daughter of Byword is expected to improve and carries solid claims with a promising apprentice aboard.

VALUE BET OF THE DAY
Race 3: HERODUS(7)
Jockey: Craig BANTAM Trainer: Candice BASS-ROBINSON
Many contenders are in this open maiden race for apprentice riders. Cape visitor HERODUS can improve on his local debut and cause a major upset from a decent draw. The bay gelding finished well over the minimum distance on polytrack after a slow start and should handle the extra furlong today. He has shown fair ability at the ‘Mother City’.
