Race 1 – 1000m (Maiden Plate)
A work rider maiden race opens proceedings on Tuesday, and caution is advised. Belissivar is a lightly raced two-year-old filly who looks to be improving after a slow start. She gets a capable work rider on board, and if running in a straight line, she should run into the money.
Suggested Bet – Belissivar EW @ 5.55/1✅ EW Place
Race 2 – 1200m (Maiden Juvenile Plate)
Based on the open betting, one can expect a shock winner here, and it won’t be surprising if a newcomer wins on debut. We like Gaelic Dancer to continue her progressive form, and she is going in the right direction after three fair runs. It is a big field, so we are getting 5 EW places for our bet, and we love the filly’s value.
Suggested Bet – Gaelic Dancer EW @ 9/1✅ EW Place
Race 3 – 1200m (Maiden Juvenile Plate)
Valieva is a filly taking on male opposition in this juvenile race. She has fair form lines, and with a 2.5kg weight advantage, she should be competitive in this race. She has provided her owners with returns on all her starts, and we expect her to continue that run here.
Suggested Bet – Valieva EW @ 6/1✅ EW Win
Race 4 – 1000m (Maiden Plate)
Green Lightning has produced two excellent runs (a second and a third) in her young career, and it won’t be long before she sheds her maiden tag. She has a low weight to carry in this race, and with only 54.5kgs, she could be hard to catch at the finish.
Suggested Bet – Green Lightning to win @ 3/1❌
Race 5 – 1000m (MR 84 Handicap)
Nkandla Gold has fair form and gets the booking of the apprentice jockey once again. That 4kg claim has helped her in her last two runs against the same rivals, and with better luck in running, she should run into the money again. She may not win as she is still held on weight turnarounds, but she will be competitive.
Suggested Bet – Nkandla Gold EW @ 17/1✅ EW Win
Race 6 – 1600m (MR 74 Handicap)
Leeson is much better than his last start, where he raced wide around the turn. He has an impressive record over this distance (5 runs, one win, 1 second and two third places). He is unbeaten over track and trip, and respected jockey Craig Zackey could get the best out of him.
Suggested Bet – Leeson EW @ 9/1✅ EW Place

Race 7 – 1400m (MR 96 Handicap)
It is a tough race to predict, and plenty of horses have chances for victory. Respect must be given to Fully Loaded, who is seeking four wins in a row but is now up in class, so we looked elsewhere. Wyzeact is a progressive three-year-old gelding in decent form. He ran five days ago and produced an excellent second-place finish to a top horse. He should be a leading contender if this run does not come too soon.
Suggested Bet – Wyzeact EW @ 6/1✅ EW Place
Race 8 – 1200m (MR 74 Handicap)
Raining Rubies is a smart filly that has solid form. The four-year-old is very speedy out of the gates and has a handy weight, so she may be hard to catch at the finish. It is the lucky last, so if you are after a horse to get you back in the black and ahead for the day, Raining Rubies represents excellent EW value.
Suggested Bet – Raining Rubies EW @ 10/1✅ EW Place
