TOP BET

Race 1: DAME JUDITH(9)

Jockey: M Yeni - Trainer: C Lensley

The Terero Red c & d formline of last Monday is well-represented in this opening affair and the top selection DAME JUDITH fared best of all when beaten just over two lengths into 2nd that day. She was only a length and a quarter ahead of ALPHA TO OMEGA in that event but could still have the latter's measure.

Race 5: LORD DEFENDER(1)

Jockey: J Penny - Trainer: J Rugg

LORD DEFENDER is the form choice after he finished runner-up in recent back-to-back efforts over the mile but the major contender is that the bay gelding has a poor record over this extra furlong.

Race 8: PRETTY WENDY(3)

Jockey: M Yeni  - Trainer: C Lensley 

PRETTY WENDY is the form choice and she acquitted herself well despite this trip being on the sharp side for her seven days ago. Her wide barrier makes things interesting but the daughter of Dynasty will again be the one to beat.

Race 9: WESKUS KLONG(2)

Jockey: J Penny - Trainer: J Rugg

WESKUS KLONG finished strongly for a close 3rd behind DANCING DUDE (1.5kgs worse off) over this c & d seven days ago and the better drawn chestnut can reverse the form on his peak showing today. That said the latter has struck up a good partnership with the stable jockey and the pair should be competitive despite the resultant minimum two pound hike in the merit rating

VALUE BET

Race 7: MISTER GEGGE(3)

Jockey: J Penny - Trainer: J Rugg

The lightly raced three-year old MISTER GEGGE had a fair handicap debut effort over this c & d last Monday and though he has a massive four lengths to find on the runner-up SILVER GLACIER, the latter's wide draw could bring the pair much closer together. The top selection is highly regarded by his conditioner and he still has scope for improvement
