Best Bet of the Day

Race 1 – 12:00 – Pinetti (5)

Jockey: RA Venniker | Trainer: Dennis Bosch

Speedy sort with solid 5f profile and Rachel Venniker’s 1.5kg claim; low gate 5 helps control the early tempo. Early books have him sitting shortest in the market on the forecast. Watch Calvin Habib riding Senor Resfrio as the late danger.

Race 4 – 13:42 – Next Of Kin (5)

Jockey: Sean Veale | Trainer: Mike & Matthew de Kock

Lightly raced and now gelded; Next of Kin brings close-up recent form and steps to a mile from a handy draw 5. The stable/jockey combo is strong and he’s been put up as a short-priced pick locally; main danger is the consistent Takeyourbestshot, ridden by Marco van Rensburg (trainer MJ Odendaal).

Race 5 – 14:20 – El Rey Viene (3)

Jockey: Sean Veale | Trainer: Duncan Howells

Ultra-consistent miler (form: 4-7-1-2-3) drawn 3 with Sean Veale keeps him handy on the Poly. Strong recent figures and a neat map behind likely pace; looks a very “safe each-way/Win” type. Main dangers Run To Rio (Tristan Godden) and Pembury (Craig Zackey) from inside/outside gates.

Race 8 – 16:10 – Mojo Man (3)

Jockey: Callan Muray | Trainer: Mike & Matthew de Kock

Back to 6f on the Poly from gate 3 and a good recent string for the De Kock yard; rates a leading fancy. Princess Hannah is the classy filly resuming well and is the one to beat if she bounces second-up. Include Captain’s Christy in exotics from pole.

Race 9 – 16:45 – Yannakis

Jockey: S Bungane | Trainer: GI Rich

Last-start winner who looks to have turned a corner; apprentice claim offsets top weight and he’s drawn to stalk the speed. Stablemate Catavar is consistent and maps well; Ruby Claire holds each-way claims. Good bet if the track is playing fair to on-pace runners.

Please note: Markets can move and late scratchings can affect odds. It is essential to double-check final odds and runners on the day.

Verdict

Greyville Racecourse, Durban

Top pic in Race 1 is RA Venniker riding Pinetti. Other top pics include Next of Kin (Race 4), El Rey Viene (Race 5) and Mojo Man (Race 8).

The final race of the day (Race 9) sees Yannakis holding the best odds, but watch out for a strong challenge from Lou Lou the Legend and Mask On.
