TOP BET

Race 6: LEAPS AND BOUNDS(5)

Jockey: R MUNGER - Trainer: S MILLER

The versatile grey filly LEAPS AND BOUNDS finished well for 2nd behind the speedy CLASS PROTECTOR over this c & d last month and the 1kg favourable weight reversal should bring the pair closer together, even though the form points to the latter. That said, she has been well worked since that winning run and of course makes the long journey down from Gauteng following an effort a fortnight ago.

Race 7: TIMKAT(7)

Jockey: C STOREY - Trainer: W G MILLER

TIMKAT has expectedly enjoyed good success in this province and he boasts two wins from his last three outings. He thrashed much weaker rivals over seven furlongs earlier this month and though he was handed a stiff seven pound penalty, the son of Fort Wood should have much more to offer in this province. Of course he takes on considerably stronger opposition today. 

Race 8: TUNE THE SCOPE(6)

Jockey: R MUNGER - Trainer: A GREEF

The PE raider TUNE THE SCOPE represents the powerful Greeff yard and this Main Aim colt easily handled this trip when keeping going to win his maiden tag on the grass late last month. This surface and slightly stronger opposition will certainly test him today but he is a progressive type whose running style could work wonders on this fast track. 

Race 9: WHAT A POET(9)

Jockey: M YENI  - Trainer: C LENSLEY

WHAT A POET caught the eye when he ran on from way back for 2nd over a mile at a similar level last Monday and he now gets the experts services of stable rider Yeni. The slight drop in trip will suit the bay gelding who can go one better from his midfield draw.

VALUE BET

Race 5: MISTER GEGGE(9)

Jockey: J PENNY   - Trainer: J RUGG

MISTER GEGGE is still improving and the bay gelding has an obvious affinity for today's trip. He stay- ed on for 2nd behind the above-average juvenile Space Agent over this c & d earlier this month and of course that formline was given a major boost when the 3rd placed entrant Peter The Wailer easily won his subsequent start
