TOP BET

Race 1: RETURN FLIGHT(2)

Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: S Tarry 

RETURN FLIGHT bludgeoned her maiden field that included LONG POND on a rain-affected track over short second time out and the daughter of Pomodoro should again take a power of beating. She had a promising debut on this track prior to that.

Race 2: ATYAAB(3)

Jockey: C Murray - Trainer: M De Kock

The imported ATYAAB is favourably weighted with his debut conqueror MASTER MAGIC (3kgs worse off) and the de Kock inmate should build on that eye-catching performance over the seven furlongs on this track. He should relish the extra furlong. Of course that formline was boosted when the runner-up CYBER SPECIAL fought back well to emerge victorious subsequently but the mile may pose an issue for the latter.

Race 4: BOLD EAGLE(3)

Jockey: W Kennedy  - Trainer: C Van Zyl

The unbeaten BOLD EAGLE felt the hefty weight close to home as he just lasted to defeat CIRILLO in a feature over a similar trip on this track last month but he is 5kgs better off with the latter and is strongly favoured to maintain his 100% record.

Race 12: TILBURY FORT(2)

Jockey: L Hewitson - Trainer: S Tarry

TILBURY FORT produced an impressive late burst to beat a similar field that included DAFFIQ over this c & d five weeks ago and he will strip fitter today. The Tarry inmate appears to have escaped with a three pound penalty and he can certainly follow-up. 

VALUE BET

Race 7: LIKE A PANTHER(2)

Jockey: C Murray- Trainer: M De Kock

LIKE A PANTHER has struck up a fine partnership with this youngster who has enjoyed much success on this 'big' day. The bay son of Captain Al had a most creditable last comeback performance in the Classic when staying on for 3rd and he will strip much fitter now. His pedigree and racing style, coupled with this galloping circuit, indicates that he will excel over this marathon trip and the de Kock inmate can make amends for his Cape Derby flop.
