Race 2: AVIEMORE (10)
Jockey: Morne WINNAAR – Trainer: Joey RAMSDEN
This tricky low-key handicap could see the lightweight AVIEMORE bouncing back over six furlongs. Previously narrowly beaten on this course and distance, he looks poised for a good run, especially as he is his jockey’s sole ride on the card.
Race 3: TOO PHAT TO FLY (6)
Jockey: Luyolo MXOTHWA – Trainer: Glen KOTZEN
The competitive seven furlong conditions plate favours the three-year-olds. TOO PHAT TO FLY carries just 0.5kg more than some of the best-rated horses. With a strong sprinting pedigree and proven performance against rivals, this Bezrin filly is expected to shine.
TOP BET
Race 5: TALK OF THE TOWN (3)
Jockey: Anton MARCUS – Trainer: Joey RAMSDEN
The talented three-year-old TALK OF THE TOWN impressed with a strong win over seven furlongs, earning a weight penalty but showing potential to thrive over a mile. Expect him to take the lead in this race that lacks fierce early speed.
Grade 2 Sceptre Stakes
Race 7: MAGICAL WONDERLAND (12)
Jockey: S Veale – Trainer: D Drier
This Grade 2 six furlong sprint boasts a quality field dominated by three-year-olds. MAGICAL WONDERLAND, unbeaten at sprints until recently, carries a weight disadvantage but may outperform expectations given her scope for improvement and sprinting strength.

Race 6: EPONA (1) (Each Way)
Jockey: Aldo DOMEYER – Trainer: Candice B ASS-ROBINSON
While recent form has been mixed, the defending champion EPONA showed encouraging late progress recently and remains unbeaten on this course & distance. This could be a turning point for the bay filly.
