RACE 1
Open looking race. (3) THE ROARING ROCK ran extremely well in the last start and will have a huge winning chance. (5) AMERICAN EAGLE is holding his form well in the province and expected to be right there with the in form rider Jason Gates. (7) FLIGHT ENGINEER ran a cracker in the last start and is another who is in with a massive chance. (14) AWAY WITH RED is a long time maiden however gets the claimer up which brings her right into this contest. She can be unreliable but isn’t one to totally ignore. There are many other who could make the frame on paper hence its suggested to go wide in the Bipot. (Devonne Govender 3-5-7-14)

(Devonne Govender 5-4-10-6)
RACE 5
(5) GIMME MORE TIME ran a decent race behind Golden Peace in his last start. With the claiming apprentice aboard he will be a huge runner here.

(4) MUNCHKIN is never far back and will be a huge contender here. On best form he can blow this field away. (5) ROUGAROUIN ran a cracker in the last start and must be respected again.
