RACE 1

1 GRAND FORCE 5 CAMOGIE 6 SOL E SOMBRA 8 BERRINGTON BLEW

Preview: 1 GRAND FORCE has a good chance here as a hard-knocking sort drawn in pole. 5 CAMOGIE is by Rafeef out of a Dynasty mare and is a half-brother to the three-time winner Terminator. 6 SOL E SOMBRA was not disgraced on debut and should improve so can earn. 8 BERRINGTON BLEW disappointed in her comeback race in July after a rest and returns from another rest but if recapturing her early form she has a chance. (David Thiselton 1-5-6-8)

RACE 2

1 KING OF THE GAULS 2 LUHAMBA PHAMBILI 6 VIHAAN’S WEB 3 DONQUERARI

Preview: 1 KING OF THE GAULS has a lot of pace and will be a big runner from pole position. 2 LUHAMBA PHAMBILI is also pacey and will enjoy this fast course and distance. 6 VIHAAN’S WEB has a form chance but has the widest draw of the six runners. 3 DONQUERARI has pace and could earn. (David Thiselton  1-2-6-3)

RACE 3

5 WHAT A PASSION 4 PRIORY TERRACE 6 FLEUR DE LING 8 WARRIOR ROSE

Preview: 5 WHAT A PASSION is consistent and has a form chance over a suitable trip. 4 PRIORY TERRACE will enjoy the step back up in trip and should be right there. 6 FLEUR DE LING improved second time out when stepped up to this trip and can improve again. 8 WARRIOR ROSE made a fair debut back in May in quite a strong form race and if not needing it a lot could make her presence felt. (David Thiselton  5-4-6-8)

RACE 4

10 STRUTTING 3 ROY’S BLOSSOM 8 TICKEY BOX 1 LA KATICI

Preview: 10 STRUTTING was not disgraced on debut and would not have to be a superstar to win this race. 3 ROY’S BLOSSOM has enough form to have a chance in this uninspiring event. 8 TICKEY BOX should appreciate the step up in trip and could earn. 1 LA KATICI has poor form but has shown enough to be able to earn from pole position. (David Thiselton  10-3-8-1)

RACE 5

 2 MOSCOW MISS 1 PRANKSTER 3 CALL ME JANE 5 VISION TO ACHIEVE

Preview:  2 MOSCOW MISS ran a cracker last time behind a decent sort and with the same 2,5kg claimer up she can go close with a 2,5kg claimer up. 1 PRANKSTER has consistent form on the poly and from pole position over an ideal 1000m trip she looks to be off a competitive mark and can go close. 3 CALL ME JANE has won two out of her last three and this lightly raced sort can still progress so a three point raise for her last win might not stop her. 5 VISION TO ACHIEVE narrowly beat Moscow Miss last time and there should not be much in it again. (David Thiselton  2-1-3-5)

RACE 6

4 DAWN SURPRISE 6 NILE THE BOSS 1 JANE’S VISION 2 CAPTAIN’S PRIDE

Preview: 4 DAWN SURPRISE won well on the poly last time and as she is not over exposed on this surface she could follow up off a five point higher mark. 6 NILE THE BOSS brings some decent Cape Town form and is a big runner too. 1 JANE’S VISION would prefer 1000m but this is only 100m further and she should be thereabouts. 2 CAPTAIN’S PRIDE has dropped in the merit ratings and could earn. (David Thiselton  4-6-1-2)

RACE 7

4 PROFESSOR LUPIN 5 FIRELIGHTER 6 BANK STREET 7 DEFINITELY YES

Preview: 4 PROFESSOR LUPIN went close during the week over 1400m and will have a chance over this drop in trip from a good draw. 5 FIRELIGHTER has come down to a competitive mark and should enjoy the trip. 6 BANK STREET has a form chance in this line up. 7 DEFINITELY YES could earn if at his best as he has dropped to a competitive mark. (David Thiselton  4-5-6-7)

RACE 8

5 NAVAJO DANCER 4 NDAKA 6 WILLOW GEM 10 MASTER SILVANO

Preview: 5 NAVAJO DANCER has been knocking hard and has a fine chance here. 4 NDAKA is an honest sort who is capable of popping up. 6 WILLOW GEM gets a handy decrease in merit rating and could earn. 10 MASTER SILVANO won well in the maidens and the form was franked but he does have a tough draw. (David Thiselton  5-4-6-10)
