Race 1
5,4,8,1
Lock And Key 15/10
It's a tough card so this looks the bet of the day. Could be anything.

Race 2
7,8,6,5
The Grey King 22/10
The standout in an otherwise open race. Has to put behind that shocker latest behind him.

Race 3
9,5,3,2
Atticus Finch 12/1
He's in the correct ratings area and should go close. A very nice each way price.

Race 4
15,14,8,16
Breeze Over 13/2
Open contest and this has decent Joburg form.

Race 5
2,7,1,13
Whistle The Tune 14/1
Ran a comparable race when winning, to that of Double Grand Slam on the same surface and distance on the same day, a few races earlier. On that run, has a huge chance to upset.

Race 6
2,14,11,10
Cosmic Speed 15/2
The draw in this race is everything and he has the draw.

Race 7
10,5,1,17
See It Again 8/1
Class package of the race with confirmed form and running on well over shorter.

Race 8
10,9,3,4
Rascova 11/2
Good front runner, if the race plays out as we think, she will be hard to run down.

Race 9
5,4,1,11
Cruise Control 5/1
Top Sprinter and expecting him to go very close here. Top run last time in Gr1.

Race 10
1,5,11,10
On The Horizon 12/1
Open race, difficult to call.

Race 11
4,2,5,9
Shipholia 7/2
Possibly the second best bet on the day. Excellent run at the weights last time and is the stable elect.

Race 12
1,3,6,8
Chocolate Soldier 28/10
Possibly the third best bet on the card.

Best Bet Race 1 Lock And Key 15/10
Next Best Race 11 Shipholia 7/2
Next after that Race 12 Chocolate Soldier 28/10
