Value on offer on Saturday

There are some short-priced runners in feature races on the Charity Mile card at Turffontein on Saturday. But, outside of these favoured few – who might well fail to fire – plenty of value is available to punters.

Noble Secret is 3-1 to win the main race, while Coral Fever, 2018 Highveld Horse of the Year no less, languishes at 12-1 and 10-time winner Captain Aldo at 14-1.

Bookmakers cannot separate Chimichuri Run and Alyaasaat – saddled by top trainers Sean Tarry and Mike de Kock – in the Graham Beck Stakes. The colts are joint favourites at 18-10, with 8-1 chance National Park the only other runner anywhere near.

It is a three-year-old contest with improving young horses, so the likes of Green Haze, Rule The Night and Firdoas could easily upset expectations at long odds.

Similarly, three horses dominate betting for the Princess Charlene Starling Stakes: Celtic Sea (28-10), Ghaalla and Isle De France (both 7-2). Twelve other relatively unexposed fillies are available from 10-1 and upwards.
