Race 1
Preview: ELYSIAN FIELDS has put in two modest efforts on the poly but his one run on the poly was excellent. A repeat of that showing should see him close. GATES raced green on debut when jumping from a wide draw and is sure to improve on that effort. THE REFORMATION is another who has run his best race on the poly and failed narrowly two runs back at long odds. ROY’S SLOW MOTION speeded up quite a bit when sent on the poly. Although a distant third he can feature in the money again. (Andrew Harrison: 5-9-6-7)
Race 2
Preview: WE’RE WATCHING YOU made a promising debut on the turf at Scottsville. She is likely to handle the poly given the soft ground on debut and meets a modest field. NIGHT AT THE PROMS has run her best races on the poly and was close-up in both recent outings. She has a tricky draw but should feature prominently. AMADORA has put in two decent efforts on the turf. She has a good draw and looks ready. POWER HORSE is struggling but has consistent form and blinkers and cannot be written off lightly. (Andrew Harrison: 12-4-7-1).
Race 3
Preview: Open. PROMISSORY has some god form against much stronger than he meets here. He has a good draw and at best will go close. ARAMOUSE was touched off for second behind One O Won last Wednesday. He is in excellent form and looks the biggest threat to the selection. SEA URCHIN is lightly raced but has ability. He tries blinkers for the first time and is one to watch. ALL TRUE MAN steps up in trip but has been consistent over shorter and can feature in the money again. (Andrew Harrison: 2-1-3-8)
Race 4
Preview: LITTLEBLACKNUMBER is a smart mare who has run some cracking races in strong company. She makes her poly debut and could prove too good for the males. AL CIBERANO is overdue another win. He has a light weight and a top draw so should have every chance here. TOP FORM made a smart return to the track after a break and if he comes on from that he will be a factor. REDCARPET CAPTAIN has a big weight but is unbeaten in two over course and distance since being gelded and can go on again. (Andrew Harrison: 4-11-9-1).
Race 5
Preview: Wide open. GREATFIVEEIGHT has been much improved on the poly and showed even more when fitted with blinkers. He can follow up in a weak field. ROY’S ROLLS ROYCE has shown some fair form on the poly and should feature in this company. THE GINGERMAN also improved in blinkers but has a difficult draw to overcome here. The same goes for SUN DYNASTY who only just got up to shed his maiden when starting a short-priced favourite. (Andrew Harrison: 1-4-3-2)
Race 6
Preview: Tough race. VARIETY ROMP is a lightly raced six-year-old who made a promising comeback after a lengthy break last month. He can go close in this field. APRES SKI only shed his maiden last start but he made major improvement when tried in blinkers on his poly debut. He could follow up. SAN JULIAN BAY has shown up well in two starts on the poly. He has a big weight from a wide draw but can improve on his last effort. HEPTAGON is never far back and also goes well on the poly although battling for his second win. (Andrew Harrison: 6-4-1-2).
Race 7
Preview: BEAUTE NOIRE has done well for her new stable and made a cracking handicap debut. She has a big weight but could prove too good here. LUNA SEA has been in good form on the turf of late. Of concern was her modest last effort on the poly but she has drawn well and has a handy weight. CHARISMA has had two outings since arriving from the Cape. She should come on from her last outing and can feature. DANCE CITY QUEEN has not been too far back at recent starts but has come down in the ratings. The blinkers come off and she can surprise. (Andrew Harrison: 2-3-6-5).
Race 8
Preview: Wide open. ARCHILLES was not far back to a useful colt last time out. He meets weaker here and should have a strong chance. DISTANT PLACE has shown some promise in his two sprints and should much prefer this trip He jumps form a fair gate and should be thereabouts. ICE RIDGE has shown up well in two recent starts at Durbanville. He makes his poly debut from a wide draw but seems progressive. KINGS EMPIRE take a step up in trip but has improved with each run over shorter. He can feature from a good draw. (Andrew Harrison: 10-7-5-6).
