Horse Racing Bets Wednesday 2nd August

[SAMOAN]

Live racing from South Africa on ATTHERACES this lunchtime and with Galway starting at 3:15 it looks like most of the card will be covered -

11.55 Turffontein - Going with 3 in the opener -

DIVA FAUSTINA ( Fair alternative to the odds on at 5's )
STEFFI'S GRAFT ( Only hinted on debut, but possible improver at 20's )
EVANGELINE ( Fair debut and then short when disappointing 2nd start. Early 100's is a much different price today and cannot ignore at such odds )

Lucky 15 through the next 4 races -

12.30 Turffontein - LADIES CLUB - Not the most resolute, but top jockey booked and still some appeal at 14's.

1.05 Turffontein - TORO ROSSO - Back off a full Year's break and does look a tough contest. Most appeal for me at the prices though.

1.40 Turffontein - WESTERN WARRIOR - Much more like it latest and h'capped to go close at 6's.

2.15 Turffontein - LEVI LADY - Much easier contest than last time and does possess plenty of speed. Edging back down the ratings, nicely berthed in stall 3 and could make a bold bid at 20's.

2.50 Turffontein - MATILDA'S DAUGHTER - Holds comparative form with a few of these and not sure she should be 50's.

3.25 Turffontein - BRIGHT BRONTE and SEAL MY FATE - BB comes here in good form and should be thereabouts at 4's. SMF is capable on a going day and will appreciate the step up in trip. Fair EW shout at 25's.

4.00 Turffontein - GENTLEMAN ONLY - Form choice after close back-to-back 2nds. Different track today, but still plenty of appeal at 6's

3.50 Galway - JUST JANICE - Comes here in good nick and Ruby Walsh booked.

4.25 Galway - MY DIRECTION - Returns to hurdling after keeping good company on the flat. Interesting EW contender at 16's.

7.05 Leicester - CONTIGA - Taking the view that Chester last time did not suit and leading chance on form prior to that

7.20 Galway - RIDEONASTAR - Still only a 6yo, so hard to write off. Nothing yet in 3 starts for the Halford yard, but he is an under - rated trainer and hoping he can find the key to this one at 33's.

 

[SAMOAN]

4.10 Goodwood - Gone with 3, all at similar prices -

EXCEEDINGLY DIVA at 20's
REVIVED at 16's
THREADING at 16's

5.35 Galway - 3 for the " plate " -

BENTELIMAR at 16's
THREE KINGDOMS at 25's
MARINERO at 33's
