Horse Racing Tips: Expert Insights for Winning Bets!

Get ready for an exhilarating weekend ahead as we unveil meticulously researched horse racing tips for the upcoming races!

Fairview (Friday)

Race 2 – Jet Bund

Jet Bund shares the position as the top contender in this race with Captain Efficient. S’manga Khumalo will be the jockey for this horse. In its local debut over this distance on the polytrack, Jet Bund ran a commendable race, maintaining a favourable position but ultimately conceding to Swiftwinged. Noteworthy is the fact that the fourth-placed horse in that race has secured a victory since then. Jet Bund’s preference for the turf suggests the potential for an improved performance, making him a strong candidate to outdo his previous showing in this race.

Race 4 – Joy and Peace

Joy and Peace recently competed in the Western Cape. In her second-to-last race over this distance on the polytrack, she secured an effortless victory. Starting from a favourable draw of two and with Richard Fourie as the jockey, we express confidence in Joy and Peace, expecting her to demonstrate why she is highly regarded and surge strongly towards the finish line.

Race 5 – Dawn Of A New Era

Dawn Of A New Era boasts impressive recent form, clinching victory once and securing a second-place finish in as many starts on this course. The partnership with jockey Muzi Yeni remains intact, instilling a high level of confidence in their performance. Given their successful history, the duo commands considerable respect in this race.

Race 6 – Mohandas

Mohandas shares the status of joint favorite in this race with Then In Focus, whom he trailed by 1.25 lengths in their previous encounter. Today, Mohandas benefits from a 2kg weight advantage, a factor that could potentially tip the scales in his favour. Despite the challenge of an awkward draw at nine, his adept use of early gate speed is expected to facilitate a smooth transition without expending excessive energy.

Kenilworth (Saturday)

Race 1 – Kyalami Girl

Kyalami Girl showcased her prowess with two commendable second-place finishes, with the most recent being in the Non-Black Type Bloodstock SA Sales Cup (Fillies). After a substantial 43-week hiatus, the daughter of Querari makes her return. Given her evident ability, if she is not in need of the run, there’s a strong possibility she might secure a place in the winner’s enclosure.

Race 2 – Song To The Moon

Song To The Moon demonstrated notable improvement with a second-place finish in the last race over this course and distance. While he fell short against The Real Prince, who appears to possess considerable class, Song To The Moon, a son of What A Winter, is a progressive contender. With Juan-Paul v.d. Merwe in the saddle, he stands as one of the leading contenders in this race.

Race 6 – Double-Check

Double Check showcased her resilience with a powerful late surge in her recent race, and her promising second-place finish in the Non-Black Type Betway Wedgewood Handicap two races ago adds to her credentials. With a favourable start, she is poised to make a strong impact, and confidently, we expect her to contend for a top spot and run into the money.

Race 9 – YellowPorsheRoad

YellowPorsheRoad exhibited signs of needing his last start in the Non-Black Type The Bantry Bay Stakes. Notably, he boasts a record of one win and one second-place finish from as many starts over this course and distance. With a significant drop-in class and an expected improvement in fitness, he is poised to be a formidable contender. Anticipated to race prominently, YellowPorsheRoad might prove challenging to catch and could be difficult to peg back.
