RACE 1

3 ONCEINABLUEMOON 1 POWER OF PEARLS 4 THE REASON 2 DETAILED FORECAST

Preview: 3 ONCEINABLUEMOON has been transformed with blinkers and can go one better than last time. 1 POWER OF PEARLS has been knocking hard since day one and should be right there. 4 THE REASON has shown signs of ability and could be in the shake up.  2 DETAILED FORECAST will go close if repeating her last start. (David Thiselton 3-1-4-2)

RACE 2

1 HIGHWAYMAN HARRY 2 ARIZONA MAGIC 4 TIGER’S CAPTAIN 8 GREEN MACHINE

Preview: 1 HIGHWAYMAN HARRY represents owners who seem to like scopey sorts and after enjoying the drop to this trip last time he should go close. 2 ARIZONA MAGIC has just 1,50 lengths to make up on Highwayman Harry. 4 TIGER’S CAPTAIN ran a fair race over course and distance last time and could earn with a repeat. 8 GREEN MACHINE was not disgraced behind a good sort last time and might enjoy the step down in trip.

RACE 3

3 WORLD ATTRACTION 4 VOLCANIC HEAT 1 GIMME A VODKA 2 SPIRIT OF GABZ

Preview: 3 WORLD ATTRACTION won impressively by 7,30 lengths on debut and can follow up. 4 VOLCANIC HEAT has won both starts and can continue to progress. 1 GIMME A VODKA on a formline through Nightshine has a few lengths to find on World Attraction but could earn. 2 SPIRIT OF GABZ beat Gimme A Vodka by a head when they clashed, although the latter was making his debut and could have improved by more since then. (3-4-1-2)

RACE 4

4 SECRETARY BIRD 2 GRISELDA 7 LANZAROTE 9 STAGGERWING

Preview: 4 SECRETARY BIRD looked to have a bit in hand when winning last time and can follow up. 2 GRISELDA beat Secretary Bird by 0,80 lengths when both were making their debuts and they both won well second time out so there won’t be much in it. 7 LANZAROTE has run well in both starts and gets 3kg from the winners. 9 STAGGERWING has two lengths to make up on Secretary Bird and is 3kg better off so should get closer. (DavidThiselton 4-2-7-9)

RACE 5

2 WILLY MEET AGAIN 8 CARE FORGOT 1 KISSHOTEN 3 FAMOUS LADY

Preview: 2 WILLY MEET AGAIN has caught the eye against the boys in her last two and should go close in this easier task. 8 CARE FORGOT bounced back last time and should go close from a good draw. 1 KISSHOTEN disappointed last time and now has a wide draw bit if recapturing her best she could be in the shake up. 3 FAMOUS LADY won a fine race last time but still has to prove she gets 1600m, although it is her first attempt at it and she is drawn in pole. (David Thiselton 2-8-1-3)

RACE 6

1 HAZY DAZY 3 CHARGE IT 5 LITTLEMISSMILLION 2 GOLDEN PALM

Preview: 1 HAZY DAZY won with authority last time and should relish the step up in trip so will go close from a fair draw. 3 CHARGE IT has been in fine form on the Highveld and over a suitable trip could be the bridesmaid to Hazy Dazy for the third time. 5 LITTLEMISSMILLION is a small but long-striding short and she was finishing strongly in the Gauteng Fillies Guineas. 2 GOLDEN PALM was the champion 2yo of her crop and was predicted by some to become a superstar so she has been a touch disappointing and there is a slight question mark over the increase in trip being out of a Var mare. (1-3-5-2)

RACE 7

1 JAN VAN GOYEN 2 SPLITTHEEIGHTS 4 TRUST 3 GRAND EMPIRE

Preview: 1 JAN VAN GOYEN won the Gr Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas in easy and impressive style and then simply went too fast in the L’Ormarins King’s Plate, so can bounce back here and show his class. 2 SPLITTHEEIGHTS won the Gr 2 Gauteng Guineas in fine style and in a good time, so will be a threat. 4 TRUST was hampered late in the Gauteng Guineas but was making up ground late, so looks likely to enjoy this step up in trip. 3 GRAND EMPIRE is on the up and can build on his Gauteng Guineas second place over a step up in trip he should handle. (David Thiselton 1-2-4-3)

RACE 8

2 SEE IT AGAIN 3 THE REAL PRINCE 6 FIRE ATTACK 1 MAIN DEFENDER

Preview: 2 SEE IT AGAIN has come into his own and has gone close in Gr 1 wfa miles before, so is the one to beat under Richard Fourie despite a tough draw. 3 THE REAL PRINCE was the winner of the L’Ormarin’s King’s Plate, a race in which a flying See It Again was a somewhat unlucky 0,25 length third, and he should use his fine turn of foot to go close again. 6 FIRE ATTACK bounced back last time and should be finishing strongly over a just about ideal course and distance. 1 MAIN DEFENDER has own this race easily before but this will be his second run after a long layoff so there are question marks. (David Thiselton 2-3-6-1)

RACE 9

3 TAXI TO THE MOON 10 WHISTLE THE TUNE 2 TRUTH 12 WINDS OF CHANGE

Preview: 3 TAXI TO THE MOON has been in fine form and can go in again. 10 WHISTLE THE TUNE is a classy sprinter and should be in the shake up. 2 TRUTH has the ability to be right there. 12 WINDS OF CHANGE hasn’t had the luckiest season but still retains his ability and can make a bold bid. (David Thiselton 3-10-2-12)

RACE 10

2 PRECOCIOUS 1 POBLANO 5 MANYELETI 3 JUST THE TWO OF US

Preview: 2 PRECOCIOUS has rattled off three successive wins on the Highveld and did it particularly easily last time so can still have more to come. 1 POBLANO has proved to be effective over the minimum trip and should go close again.  5 MANYELETI made a sensational debut so has been a touch disappointing since then but should still be thereabouts. 3 JUST THE TWO OF US has the form to earn. (David Thiselton 2-1-5-3)

RACE 11

10 VAMANOS 7 STREISAND 2 CEUTA 6 HONG KONG

Preview: 10 VAMANOS looks to have scope for improvement and is well drawn over an ideal trip. 7 STREISAND is a scopey sort and the best might not have been seen of her yet so she can do well from a good draw. 2 CEUTA has the form to be a contender if able to overcome a wide draw. 6 HONG KONG had become disappointing but is now on the up again and is a contender. (David Thiselton 10-7-2-6)

RACE 12

9 TRADITIONAL BELIEF 5 TRAIL RUNNER 4 ROYAL KAILANI 10 KORTVANDRAAD

Preview: 9 TRADITIONAL BELIEF won well second time out and can progress again. 5 TRAIL RUNNER goes for a hattrick and should go close. 4 ROYAL KAILANI won well in KZN second time out and could be involved if able to overcome a wide draw. 10 KORTVANDRAAD has shown enough ability to have a chance here. (David Thiselton 9-5-4-10)
