RACE 1
3 FORTHEGOODTIMES 7 PINK SKIES 6 SWEET CHERRY 13 ICEBERG ROSE
Preview: Open maiden. FORTHEGOODTIMES (3) was not friendless in the market on debut and finished a close-up third over course and distance. She should come on from that showing. PINK SKIES (7) has improved with every outing and has taken on colts at her last two and not far behind. Back to a sprint she should feature prominently. SWEET CHERRY (6) found some market support on debut and was not far behind the Snaith runner Sweet Green. She should come on from that with a claiming apprentice aboard. ICEBERG ROSE (13) has been a beaten favourite at her last two and narrowly beaten on this course last run. She should be competitive. (Andrew Harrison: 3-7-6-13).
RACE 2
3 GIMME THE POWER 10 FLORAL KINGDOM 9 UMOYAWOKUBAMBELELA 7 RUSTIGE KRACHT
Preview: GIMME THE POWER (3) is seldom far back and surprisingly still a maiden. She is back to a sprint with Keagan de Melo staying aboard and she should crack the ice. FLORAL KINGDOM (10) is lightly raced but has shown up well in recent outings. She was a beaten favourite last run and the switch back to turf could be in her favour. RUSTIGE KRACHT (7) was a distant fourth on debut and can improve. UMOYAWOKUBAMBELELA (9) is an Australian import making her debut and should be one to watch. (Andrew Harrison: 3-10-9-7).
RACE 3
3 FUTURE PROSPECT 4 AFTER THE FIRE 2 GUILD THE LILY 8 JENNY DARLING
Preview: Tricky Open Maiden. FUTURE PROSPECT (3) is a lightly raced five-year-old. Never too far back she caught the eye on this course last run when a close-up third. AFTER THE FIRE (4) has improved in blinkers and stepping up in trip. This is not a strong field and she should feature prominently. GUILD THE LILY (2) improved last run over a sprint and now jumps in trip that on pedigree should suit. JENNY DARLING (8) showed some improvement when stepped up in trip last run on the poly. She could surprise. (Andrew Harrison: 3-4-2-8).
RACE 4
7 GOLDEN ANGEL 4 HURRICANE FLIGHT 2 OUR LADY FATE 3 SESAME
Preview: Glen Kotzen could hold the keys to this race. GOLDEN ANGEL (7) played second fiddle to stable companion SESAME (3) last time out. However, Golden Angel is 6.5 kg better off and should easily turn the tables. HURRICANE FLIGHT (4) has been coming to hand slowly. She found some market support last run and has another handy weight. OUR LADY FATE (2) has made some recent improvement in blinkers and must be factored in. (Andrew Harrison: 7-4-2-3).
RACE 5
4 BUDDY BOY 3 DOUBLE CAUSEWAY 1 SONG TO THE MOON 10 BLIZZARD BOY
Preview: BUDDY BOY (4) was run out of it late over course and distance last time out. He has improved in blinkers and should put in a bold claim. DOUBLE CAUSEWAY (3) is the dark horse but obviously has issues. He has had a lengthy break but started favourite against stronger first time out of the maidens finishing with only one behind. He is still a colt but obviously has shown something on the home gallops. SONG TO THE MOON (1) has had one outing since arriving for the winter season. He has a fair weight but also the best of the draw. BLIZZARD BOY (10) has been placed in all three start since shedding his maiden. He has a fair weight but should be competitive. (Andrew Harrison: 4-3-1-10).
RACE 6
3 CAPTAIN’S PRIDE 5 IZIBULO 7 ALLTHEBOYSIVELOVED 2 BLUE POPPY
Preview: Wide open handicap. CAPTAIN’S PRIDE (3) was not far back from a wide draw on the poly last time out. This trip suits and from a favourable draw she should be competitive. IZIBULO (5) showed some improvement in blinkers last run over shorter and should prefer the extra. ALLTHEBOYSIVELOVED (7) has had two outings since arriving from the Cape. She was much improved without a tongue-tie last start and must have a strong chance. BLUE POPPY (2) is seldom far back and course and distance suited. (Andrew Harrison: 3-5-7-2).
RACE 7
3 CAPPELLINO 1 TRAFALGAR SQUARE 2 BLESS ME FRED 4 CHAMPAGNE MAC
Preview: Open handicap. CAPPELLINO (3) has been knocking on the door for some time now but all recent form has been on the poly which is a concern. He is 2.5kg better off with veteran TRAFALGAR SQUARE (1) who has also been consistent and should put in another forward showing. BLESS ME FRED (2) is over his best course and distance and is the pick of the stable rider Rachel Venniker although stable runner FUTANO (8) only has 49kg to shoulder and could surprise. CHAMPANGE MAC (4) showed up well first run for his new stable and although struggling for his second win, he has been consistent over the trip. (Andrew Harrison: 3-1-2-4).
RACE 8
10 BILLY COOL 6 CARIBBEAN GOLD 11 BLAZING FURY 7 CAVALRY COMMANDER
Preview: No easy race to round off the card. BILLY COOL (10) was a comfortable winner on the poly last time out but had some fair Cape form prior to that. He did get a punishing six-point raise in the handicap which is a concern. CARIBBEAN GOLD (6) takes on males but was narrowly beaten over course and distance last time out with a first time tongue-tie. BLAZING FURY (11) is holding form well but does have a big weight. He could prove to be the pick of the Louis Goosen runners. CAVALRY COMMANDER (7) was a beaten favourite last run but goes well on this course which is always a plus. (Andrew Harrison: 10-6-11-7).
