RACE 1

A competitive looking opening event. PRINCESS OF AJIAAL showed improvement when trying the Polytrack for the first time and can win a race of this nature. ON THE OUTSIDE is unreliable but is also not out of it. REMIND ME OF YOU makes her debut and has Richard Fourie in the irons for Alan Greeff and she could be ready to score.

RACE 2

WALK RIGHT IN makes her local debut and is trying the Polytrack but could score. AMERICAN GEM needed her last run and can be a real threat on best form. ENGELANDPARK has struggled of late but could earn some minor money over this course and distance. TRULY MAGICAL has shown improvement recently and can contest the finish once again. FOCAL POINT is in good shape and is not out of it. SKIP THE LINE makes her debut but would not be a surprise winner.

RACE 3

WOMAN IN GOLD was unreliable in the Western Cape and makes her Polytrack debut, but if she is to reproduce her best form she should win. SALAGADOOLA is not reliable but is also not out of it. CAN WE START was a disappointment when stepped up in distance and could bounce back to beat these rivals over this distance. EXPLOSIVE GIFT has been in good form of late and should be a real threat. AM STILL WINNING is unreliable but might earn some money.

RACE 4

A very open race and one should go very wide in all the exotics, especially the Pick 6. ANATOLIAN SILVER is not well drawn but has held form well and could be ready for a winning turn. MAKHACHEV is in good form and not out of it. RICHARDTHEFEARLESS likes the Polytrack and is a dangerous front-runner on his day. DAS GUTE and GREEN ISLE are both coming off solid wins and must be included. SUPREME JUDGE, PAST AND PRESENT, DISRUPTIVE and SAN QUINTIN are all in good form and capable of winning.

RACE 5

SPOIL YOURSELF is often caught way out of her ground but she is capable of a storming finish and can win over this course and distance. LANA VIEW has been at the top of her game lately and is now hat-trick seeking. This distance does stretch her, though. TERMINAL VELOCITY disappointed with blinkers on last time out and they are carded to be on again, but she can score if they are removed. WELSH STARLET won some nice races earlier this season and could be a threat at this level. CHRONICLESOFNANIA, PRESERVE FOREVER and DARLING GIRL are others to consider.

RACE 6

A tough card and another open race. PORFIRIO has had a tremendous season and is quite capable of scoring again. GLOBAL ALLY is right at home over this course and distance and should fight out the finish. BRENDEN JAMES is unreliable but can make the frame. SILVONIAN remains in good shape but is taking on tougher this time. LAGUNA VERDE returned to form with a solid win and can follow up. GEORGE HANDEL is up in class but capable of a strong finish when in the right mood.

RACE 7

MORFELIHA only found one better on the day last time. She was a game winner before that and the form has worked out well. FIERY COUNTESS ran in a decent field last time out and should do better this time around. KINGS AGAIN is very consistent and also capable of winning. GENOVEFA is hat-trick seeking but this does look a tougher bunch. PRISCILLA MAISEY is not reliable but she is capable of scoring in this division. STRANGE MAGIC is in good form and is another to consider.

RACE 8

CASPERITA tried her luck unsuccessfully in better fields than this and she could bounce back to beat these rivals. OCEAN FLAME has not been beaten far in her recent starts and could earn some money. MY AMI BEACH is capable of an upset if given a strong early gallop. RED LHASA showed what she is capable of with some success last time out and might have more to offer. FREE WORLD put up a decent run last time and is well drawn so must be respected. BLACK PATH and VOORSMAAKIE could pop up into the places.
