RACE 1

1 MADRA RUA has been rested for 194 days, he was well supported in the market on debut when finishing just over five lengths behind Happy Verse on the 28th of April, he is a lovely looking colt, there is no doubt that he will improve quite a bit from his first run into his second run, include him into all bets. 7 RED WAVE stayed on well for third last time behind Caribbean Gold at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 5th of October, he is very consistent, on his best form, he will go close to winning. 11 BONELLI has been rested and gelded, he ran a fair race on debut against winners, he can only improve with every start, if he doesn’t need the run badly after a long break, he could be competitive at a decent price. 9 CAESAR’S RANSOM has been rested for 105 days, he was green on debut when finishing just over eight lengths behind Sardinia Bay on the 26th of July, the blinkers have been fitted for his race on Saturday, if he has made the necessary improvement back at home, he could sneak into the Quartet. (Brandon Bailey: 1 – 7 – 11 – 9)

RACE 2

Watch the first timers closely in this race, this doesn’t look to be the strongest Maiden Plate, and the raced runners don’t have much form to talk about. 2 VROOM VROOM and 11 GIMMEANOTHERVIKING are both very well-bred individuals, if they have any sort of ability, they can certainly win on debut, watch the market closely and watch them move down to the start. 7 TRIPLEBELL has run two fair races in succession, she was beaten just over six lengths by Eisteddfod at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 27th of September, if she can improve from that performance, she could finish in the money. 4 REFLECT was green on debut when finishing just under eight lengths behind Midnight Lady on the 18th of October, she can only improve with every start, watch her closely. (Brandon Bailey: 2 – 11 – 7 – 4)

RACE 3

Again, It is a difficult race, watch the first timers closely, they can certainly win on debut if they have ability. 7 INNERBLOOM could be some value in this tricky race, she had absolutely no luck on debut at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 18th of October, she was drawn wide and she was a long way back when they turned for home, even though she was well beaten at the line, she was doing some good work late, she could improve enough to be competitive at a decent price, watch her closely. 5 FANTINE should improve quite a bit from her first run into her second run, she was very green on debut when finishing just over nine lengths behind Saachi One on the 18th of October, she will love the straight track at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday, include her into all bets. 10 WINTER IN AUCKLAND has been rested for 179 days, she finished just over seven lengths behind Electromagnetism on the 13th of May, if she has made any improvement back at home, she could sneak into the places. 1 LITTLE NIMBUS has run two fair races in succession, she is well-bred, she might be able to get into the Quartet. (Brandon Bailey: 7 – 5 – 10 – 1)

RACE 4

1 OBJET D’ART has run three great races in succession, he stayed on well for third last time behind Fox On The Run, the form of that race has worked out well, he will be very hard to beat in this Open Maiden. 6 FORT YUKON ran a lovely race on debut at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 22nd of September, he was only beaten just over four lengths at the line by Siriano, even though he wants further, he should improve enough to be competitive on Saturday. 10 PRINCE OF EGYPT is much better than his recent start, he finished three lengths behind Marcus Aurelius on the 8th of October, the wide draw on that occasion made it tough for him, he could easily bounce back to his best form here, include him into all bets. 9 SICILY stayed on well for fifth in his last start behind Caribbean Gold on the 5th of October, on his best form, he definitely has a money chance in this field. (Brandon Bailey: 1 – 6 – 10 – 9)

RACE 5

1 TRIPLE TIME can be frustrating at times to follow with confidence, in saying that, he ran a great race last time when finishing second to his stable companion (Magic Verse) on the 18th of October, it was his first run back from a long break, there is no doubt that he will be much fitter on Saturday, if he can bring his best form to the track, he will have a massive winning chance here. 6 CONGRESSMAN is as honest as they come, he stayed on strongly for second behind Landoftherisingsun on the 27th of September, he likes to go out there and make the running, if he stays the 2500m trip, he could be competitive with no weight on his back. 7 TIME FOR LOVE should be cherry ripe for this Listed race on Saturday, she is extremely honest and she tries hard, the step up in trip could unlock further improvement for this mare, include her into all bets. 8 AHEAD OF THE FACTS could be some decent value for the places, he needed his last run badly when finishing just over four lengths behind his stable companion (Master Of Paris) on the 5th of October, he stays well, watch him closely with no weight on his back. (Brandon Bailey: 1 – 6 – 7 – 8)

RACE 6

2 CANDY TOWN has been rested for 287 days, she might just need this run on Saturday after a long break, but she is very fast, and she is classy, on her best form, she will be hard to catch, include her into all bets. 10 ARTISTE needed her last run when finishing just over one length behind Festival Chic on the 15th of October, she will be just off the speed early, and she will be running on strongly late, include her into all bets. 1 SYMPHONY IN WHITE stayed on strongly for second behind Scarlet Macaw on the 18th of October, it was her first run back after a long break, she will be much fitter on Saturday, she is packed with ability, watch her closely. 3 HIERARCHY won impressively at Hollywoodbets Greyville on the 3rd of October, she is a young filly that keeps improving with every start, there is no doubt that she will be right there in the finish on her best form. (Brandon Bailey: 2 – 10 – 1 – 3)

RACE 7

8 ANOTHERDANCEFORME looks to be an absolute super star! she has done nothing wrong in her career, she won impressively at Fairview Racecourse on the 3rd of October, that was her first run back after winning the Grade 2 Golden Slipper easily at Hollywoodbets Greyville on the 5th of July, she will be hard to beat here. 7 QUICKSTEPGAL won a good race at Hollywoodbets Greyville on the 12th of October, the yard thinks highly of this filly, she is definitely getting better with more racing experience, include her into all bets. 3 GIMME WHAT I WANT quickened up like a smart filly to win a good race at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 13th of September, she will love the step up in trip on Saturday, even though it is a massive jump in class for this filly, she looks progressive, and she could trouble them all from a good draw. 10 WISH LIST has been rested for 62 days, she was mighty unlucky not to get her head down at the right time on the 7th of September, she finished second to Stormwatch in a driving finish, unfortunately the bad draw here will make life hard for her, but she is packed with ability, she will be running on strongly late. (Brandon Bailey: 8 – 7 – 3 – 10)

RACE 8

4 GARRIX has been rested for 167 days, he ran a cracker in the Listed Pocket Power Stakes on the 25th of May, he was touched off in a close finish by Otto Luyken, if he doesn’t need the run badly on Saturday, he will be hard to beat, follow him closely for the Cape Summer Season. 3 MAGIC VERSE quickened up impressively to win a good race at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 18th of October, that was his first run back after a small break, he will be just off the speed early, and he will be storming home late, include him into all bets. 6 ZEITZ stayed on strongly for second last time, he was doing some good work late behind Outlaw King on the 18th of October, it was his first run back after a rest and gelding, he will be right there in the finish. 7 RED PALACE might just need the run after a long break of 287 days, she was last seen in the Grade 1 Cape Town Met on the 25th of January, she ran a great race behind Eight On Eighteen on that occasion, on her best form, she could make them all work for victory. (Brandon Bailey: 4 – 3 – 6 – 7)

RACE 9

9 VIVA’S LIBERTE remains unbeaten, he won a super race at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 8th of October, he is a lovely looking colt with a great action, there is no doubt that he will love the step up in trip to 1600m on Saturday, if he gets some luck in running from a bad draw, he will be very hard to beat. 4 NOTE TO SELF has been rested and gelded, he was a touch unlucky in his last start behind Turbo Twenty on the 13th of August, from a good draw, he will be competitive. 5 CAPTAINS ALLIANCE stayed on well for third behind Mente Et Manu on the 22nd of September, he looks progressive, watch him closely, he will be doing some good work late. 3 BEWARE quickened up well to win his maiden in style on the 8th of October, it was a brilliant ride by Richard Fourie, this individual will get better and better with more racing, include him into all bets. (Brandon Bailey: 9 – 4 – 5 – 3)

RACE 10

12 FAST TRAIN ran a great race behind Fox On The Run last time, he stayed on powerfully for second, the yard is in good form at the moment, he will love the step up in trip to 1600m, if he gets some luck in running from a bad draw, he will be hard to beat in the lucky last. 8 GREENCHOICE never runs a bad race, he is super consistent, he was forced to do some work early from a wide draw at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 18th of October, and he still managed to run a good second behind Smarten Up, he will be right there in the finish on Saturday. 13 SUPER VIKING will love the step up in trip to 1600m, he certainly caught the eye late for second last time behind Primal Instinct on the 27th of September, he will be doing some good work late from a bad draw, watch him closely. 3 KONNICHIWA has been well tried in the maiden ranks, he is consistent, he should run a brave race again. (Brandon Bailey: 12 – 8 – 13 – 3)

There were a number of grumpy supporters and punters after Gr1 Betway Summer Cup hopeful See It Again was scratched from his last intended start. None more so than trainer Michael Roberts who was of the opinion that his charge was not given a reasonable chance to load by the assistant starter.

Ruling after an official complaint was lodged by Roberts, the NHA dismissed his complaint and declared his deposit forfeit.

That said, a number of his local Cup rivals got a run under their girth and patrons face a fascinating Conditions Plate over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Greyville  tonight.

No doubt Roberts will have been instructed to pass See It Again through the barriers before lining up again and the gelding is classy enough to run a big race with stable rider Rachel Venniker there to coax him home.

There are a number of runners warming-up for the Summer Cup including Gareth van Zyl’s King Pelles. The gelding burst onto the scene with commanding victories in the staying races at the back end of Champions Season and he should be well suited to the stamina-sapping 2000m of the Turffontein Standside track. That said, he ran a cracker in a sprint behind Gr2 Post winner I Am Giant last time out and although he obviously prefers further he must have a decent chance on that showing. Nathan Kotzen with the help of ‘horse whisperer’ Glyn Redgrave appear to have cured former Cup winner Royal Victory of his quirky behavior and the gelding was running on late behind Madison Valley over 1400m last time out. His connections were well satisfied with that showing and should that outing will have brought him on although this is also well  short of his best. Adam Azzie, who recently started up at Summerveld after parting ways with his Gauteng-based father Michael, saddles Claw who is not a Cup entry and over his preferred trip which will make him dangerous. On My Honour was the beaten favourite  but not disgraced behind Madison Valley so is another to work into the equation.

One of the better bets on the Card could be Frank Robinson’s Cats Pajamas who steps out in another Condition Plate, this time over 1200m. He ran a cracker behind I Am Giant in his comeback run after a break and although he has drawn on the outside he is well in at the weights with a useful 4kg claimer aboard and he rates the horse to beat. He faces two class acts in former Equus Champion Dave The King and  Gr1 Champions Cup winner Gladatorian.  This pair would prefer further but their class can carry them through. Gladatorian should be the fitter of the two but this is sure to be keeping him ticking over before he heads to the Cape with Stuart Ferrie’s small string for a crack at the Gr1 L’Ormarins King’s Plate and the Gr1 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met.

Dave The King is a smart front-runner on his day but the distance of this race could find him out although he is fully capable racing fresh. Soho Star is course and distance suited and should put in a strong showing.

Ferrie saddles another of his Cape raiders in Cognac in the sixth. The son of Rafeef looks to be top class, winning both of his starts to date. But this is his first try at 1400m with top weight and the worst of the draw. Possibly just a warm-up before heading to the Cape and to give Ferrie as line on whether the Gr1 Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas is within his compass. He will face opposition in the form of Safe Travel who showed up well in his handicap debut behind what looks to be a more than useful winner in Kanal Skaater. He has a fair draw and should be a big threat. Duncan Howells sends out Rooster Bradshaw who was in need of his last run but not far back and should run another good race. Given the riding engagements, Dricus could be the best of Andre Nel’s trio as he started favourite in his local debut and should come on from that.

The PA opener is a tricky Maiden. Sugar Baby Love has only had two starts and was not far back last time out. With a 4kg claimer up she should be in the shake-up. Queen Of The Air has been a little disappointing and may prefer the poly but can feature in this line-up but Baltic Assayer can do some damage if allowed to get too far clear  and get away from his field.

Fine Wine and Intro should be the pick of the first leg of the Pick 6. Fine Wine has been knocking at the door for some time now and will never get a better opportunity to shed maiden while Intro was a beaten favourite last run but did not go on with her effort. That was on the poly and the switch back to turf could suit.

The fifth is wide open but Harun Al Rashid is well thought of by his connections but obviously has some issues given that he is lightly raced. He is down four pounds in the ratings and is one to watch in the market. Querari’s Dream  has the best of the draw and has been close up in his last two and gets a stronger rider aboard. There should be very little between Papa C and Riccardo, the former looking to be the better proposition  given the he meets his rival at the same weights as when they met two runs back.

Dark Matter does not have the best of draws in the seventh but was close-up in a strong field last time out even though carrying a light weight. Down on class she should make a fist of it. Shipindani needed her last run at Durbanville and was not far back. Lightly raced she can go close here. Crafty Crofty was close-up in a useful field over course and distance last time out. She gets the benefit of a useful 4kg claimer and should run well.

The ninth is a difficult race to round off the Pick 6 but Phutulicious  is showing signs of coming to hand again and has dropped to a more competitive rating while Rhythm was finishing well under a big weight last time out and appears to have come to hand again and could be the biggest threat.

1

3 SON OF RAFEEF   8 THE MARQUEE   4 CHRISTMAS CACTUS   7 GREATEST HIT

Summary: SON OF RAFEEF (3) has had the misfortune of finding two prospective top class performers  in his two starts to date and unless there is a ‘spring’ among the first timers he should get the job done. THE MARQUEE (8) looks to be the biggest threat after being narrowly beaten in two smart efforts and should be running on strongly. CHRISTMAS CACTUS (4) was some three lengths back to The Marquee at their last meeting but he should improve on his debut effort with a 4kg claimer up adding to his chances. GREATEST HIT (7) raced green in a fair debut and did find some market support. One to watch. (Andrew Harrison: 3-8-4-7).

2

2 ROYAL VICTORY   6 SEE IT AGAIN   3 CLAW   4 ON MY HONOUR

Summary: Fascinating Conditions Plate being a warm-up for the Gr1 Betway Summer Cup for some of the runners. KING PELLES (1) ran a cracker in a sprint behind I Am Giant last time out and although he will prefer further he must have a decent chance on that showing. ROYAL VICTORY (2) was running on late behind Madison Valley over 1400m last time out and should come on from that outing although this is short of his best. SEE IT AGAIN (6) was controversially scratched after refusing to load at his last intended start. If he goes in he has a chance. CLAW (3) is not a Cup entry and over his preferred trip. ON MY HONOUR (4) was a beaten favourite last run and not disgraced behind Madison Valley. (Andrew Harrison: 2-6-3-4).

3

9 SUGAR BABY LOVE   7 QUEEN OF THE AIR   8 BALTIC ASSAYER   3 COOL WIND

Summary: Tricky open Maiden. SUGAR BABY LOVE (9) has only had two starts and was not far back last time out. With a 4kg claimer up she should be in the shake-up. QUEEN OF THE AIR (7) has been a little disappointing and may prefer the poly but can feature in this line-up. BALTIC ASSAYER (8) can do better than his last effort and has a chance of he can get away from his field. COOL WIND (3) is struggling but has shown flashes of ability and at best has a winning chance. (Andrew Harrison: 9-7-8-3).

4

5 FINE WINE   7 INTRO   8 SHEEZAROCKET   3 SKIPPER O’MALLEY

Summary: FINE WINE (5) has been knocking at the door for some time now and will never get a better opportunity to shed maiden. INTRO (7) was a beaten favourite last run but did not go on with her effort. That was on the poly and the switch back to turf could suit. SHEEZAROCKET (8) is seldom too far back and the step up in trip could bring out the best. (Andrew Harrison: 5-7-8-3).

5

Summary: HARUN AL RASHID (4) has not shown since his maiden win but obviously has some issues given that he is lightly raced. He is down four pounds in the ratings and is one to watch in the market. QUERARI’S DREAM (1) has the best of the draw and has been close up in his last two. He gets a stronger rider aboard. There should be very little between PAPA C (5) and RICCARDO (2) the former looking to be the better proposition  given the he meets his rival at the same weights as when they met two runs back. (Andrew Harrison: 4-1-5-2).

6

12 COGNAC   5 SAFE TRAVEL   3 DRICUS   8 ROOSTER BRADSHAW

Summary: COGNAC (12) looks to be top class, winning both of his starts to date. But this is his first try at 1400m with top weight and the worst of the draw. Possibly just a warm-up before heading to the Cape. SAFE TRAVEL (5) showed up well in his handicap debut behind what looks to be a more than useful winner. He has a fair draw and should be a big threat. ROOSTER BRADSHAW (8) was in need of his last run but not far back and should run another good race. Given the riding engagements, DRICUS (3) could be the best of Andre Nel’s trio. He started favourite in his local debut and can come on from that. (Andrew Harrison: 12-5-3-8).

7

9 DARK MATTER   4 SHIPINDANI   1 CRAFTY CROFTY   8 AMEN CORNER

Summary: DARK MATTER (9) does not have the best of draws but was close-up in a strong field last time out even though carrying a light weight. Down on class she should make a fist of it. SHIPINDANI (4) needed her last run at Durbanville and was not far back. Lightly raced she can go close here. CRAFTY CROFTY (1) was close-up in a useful field over course and distance last time out. She gets the benefit of a useful 4kg claimer and should run well. AMEN CORNER (8) makes her local debut. She had modest Cape post maiden form but has a light weight and is one to watch. (Andrew Harrison: 9-4-1-8).

8

8 CATS PAJAMAS   7 GLADATORIAN   6 DAVE THE KING   1 SOHO STAR

Summary: CATS PAJAMAS (8) ran a cracker behind I Am Giant in his comeback run after a break. He has drawn on the outside here but is well in at the weights with a useful 4kg claimer aboard and he rates the horse to beat although he faces two class acts in former Equus Champion DAVE THE KING (6) and  Gr1 Champions Cup winner GLADATORIAN (7) this pair would prefer further but their class can carry them through. SOHO STAR (1) is course and distance suited and should put in a strong showing. (Andrew Harrison: 8-7-6-1).

9

7 PHUTULICIOUS   5 RHYTHM   8 IN THE BAG  2 BARRY DU GROND

Summary: Difficult race to round off the Pick 6. PHUTULICIOUS (7) is showing signs of coming to hand again and has dropped to a more competitive rating. RHYTHM (5) was finishing well under a big weight last time out and appears to have come to hand again. IN THE BAG (8) has been knocking on the door for his second win and has much in his favour. BARRY DU GROND (2) found his best form on the poly last run. He has always struck as something of an under achiever. (Andrew Harrison: 7-5-8-2).

10

2 MOUNTAINSOFTHEMOON   1 COPACABANA   5 QUEEN OF PEARLS   7 DE FLUGGE

Summary: MOUNTAINSOFTHEMOON (2) has run three forwards races since returning from a lay-off. She gets a handy galloping weight from a good draw. COPACABANA (1) is a winner over this course and distance beating Mountainsofthemoon. She gets a highly rated apprentice aboard from the best of the draw. QUEEN OF PEARLS (5) shed her maiden at second time of asking and got a hefty rating for her troubles. She makes her local debut and the betting should be your best guide. DE VLUGGE (7) showed up well first up out of the maidens and has a money chance. (Andrew Harrison: 2-1-5-7).
