Durbanville Wednesday Tips and Race Previews by Warren Lenferna

Race 1
Preview: GOA (7) is coming along the right way and from an okay draw looks ready to go close. OSTINATO (5) keeps running second but should be able to go one better and get it right soon. Big runner as always. DEAR MONIETTE (3) tries a touch further and should be able to get much closer now. (Warren Lenferna 7-5-3)

Race 2
Preview: SECOND NATURE (4) ran on well to win last time and is in good form. She can follow up. TIFFINDELL (5) returns from a short rest but was in good form before that. If she were to win it would be no shock at all. NORTHERN BALLET (1) might have a tough task at the weights but nevertheless, still has a bright chance. (Warren Lenferna 4-5-1)

Race 3
Preview: MAGIC SAILOR (1) was out run in the shadow of the post last time and tried all the way up the lane. He finished second behind Valbonne whom was making his debut and this afternoon Magic Sailor looks very hard to beat under M J Byleveld. SEVENTH RULE (2) is the exacta choice and LA MER (3) could help boost the quartet dividend. (Warren Lenferna 1-2-3)

Race 4
Preview: HUNDREDS (9) caught the eye on debut when running on well and now with that run under the belt looks very hard to beat here. GREENSTREETTRACTOR (3) went close to winning last time and has a huge chance. COYS (2) the KZN runner from the Paul Lafferty stable has shown ability in KZN and today with the help of blinkers should go close but they will all have to run to beat Hundreds! (Warren Lenferna 9-3-2)

Race 5
Preview: BLUE DOOR (4) ran a good race last time finishing second when putting in a late effort. He can go one better. JUDDERING ANGEL (5) is much better than his last run shows and can bounce back to best. WOODLAND’S FOREST (3) will have a chance if reproducing his penultimate run – definite quartet inclusion. (Warren Lenferna 4-5-3)

Race 6
Preview: STATE BALLET (4) normally races from the front and might hold on to win. Her form is consistent and her draw the best – she might be hard to catch this time. BIG MISTAKE (8) is very fast and won well in his penultimate start – chance. LOVE TO FLY (9) has very consistent form but returns from a short rest – it would be silly to ignore his chances. (Warren Lenferna 4-8-9)

Race 7
Preview: KAMPALA CAMPARI (2) never shaped in Gauteng in a feature last time but his form before that is very strong. He clearly has ability and despite returning from a rest might prove tough to beat. CAPTAIN COURTEOUS (3) is very reliable and should once again be there at the finish. SNIPER SHOT (9) has top KZN juvenile form and should be able to get into the action here. (Warren Lenferna 2-3-9)

Race 8
Preview: The three runners that have recorded one run for one win look set to fight it out. STILL I RISE (6) was very impressive when taking off to win and looks to be above average. She might be the right one and has been selected to win. ONTENDERHOOKS (5) and DOUBLE BLACK (7) should be right there at the finish and both also look to have ability. (Warren Lenferna 6-5-7)
