4 HIGHER LOVE   7 SAUDI SWEEP   5 WHATASTAR   6 WINDING POWER

Summary: HIGHER LOVE (4) has improved recently on the poly and was narrowly beaten last outing from a wide draw. SAUDI SWEEP (7) was disappointing on the Scottsville turf last start after three promising efforts for her new stable. WHATASTAR (5) makes her local debut. Her recent Cape form has been over further but she looks capable of big improvement. WINDING POWER (6) showed some improvement last run and has a useful claiming apprentice aboard. (Andrew Harrison: 4-7-5-6).

7 SKYLINE BELL   1 PRAISE DE LA REY   2 SKIPPER O’MALLEY   3 DREAM DECISION

Summary: SKYLINE BELL (7) made marked improvement at just her second outing, both runs in the soft. She makes her poly debut but can show further improvement. PRAISE DE LA REY (1) is showing steady improvement and appears to have come to hand. SKIPPER O’MALLEY (2) finished narrowly ahead of Skyline Bell when they met but she is well exposed and one can expect further improvement from her younger rival. DREAM DECISION (3) is lightly raced and has not been far back at her last two. The step up in distance could suit. (Andrew Harrison: 7-1-2-3).

11 BLACK PLATINA   12 LEVITATOR   10 TAKEYOURBESTSHOT   5 ROCK ME BABY

Summary: BLACK PLATINA (11) goes well over course and distance and should be involved in the finish. LEVITATOR (12) has the widest draw. He steps up in trip but is back on his preferred surface. TAKEYOURBESTSHOT (10) is overdue a win. However, he has been rested and has draw 10 out of 10 for the fourth consecutive time. ROCK ME BABY (5) showed some improvement with first time blinkers and the step up in trip could suit. (Andrew Harrison: 11-12-10-5).

1 RAHHABBA   2 HAPPY FORTUNE   3 YOUR LADYSHIP   6 DE VLUGGE

Summary: RAHHABBA (1) has come well at her last two since arriving in KZN. She has the best of the draw in what is a competitive handicap. HAPPY FORTUNE’S (2) last two win have been over the trip including one over course and distance. She is in good form and Rachel Venniker’s allowance will help her cause. DE VLUGGE (6) is seldom out of the money and switches to the poly. She should put in another forward showing. YOUR LADYSHIP (3) has been up and down in distance but showed up well last run over shorter and Callan Murray stays aboard. (Andrew Harrison: 1-2-3-6).

7 AMAFORT   8 MYSTIQUE ROUGE   1 IZIBULO   6 STRUTTING

Summary: AMAFORT (7) is overdue and has run two promising races over course and distance at recent starts. MYSTIQUE ROUGE (8) was a close-up second behind IZIBULO (1) last time out. She is now 1kg better off in the handicap and can turn the tables. STRUTTING (6) was a recent maiden winner but has shown some potential. However, she does shoulder top weight. (Andrew Harrison: 7-8-1-6).

 9 QUEUE WING    1 WILD AT WAR   6 CLEVER TREVOR   5 FUTURE FLO

Summary:  QUEUE WING (9) has been in good form since being tried in blinkers. His last two have been over further but he has gone close over course and distance and has a handy galloping weight. CLEVER TREVOR (6) is lightly raced and has had one sprint since arriving from the Highveld. He can come on from that. WILD AT WAR (1) won over the distance last time out and has gone close on the poly. He should feature again from the best of the draw. FUTURE FLO (5) steps up in trip and is a solid handicapper. (Andrew Harrison: 9-1-6-5).

7

9 UNITED NATION    3 UMZINGELI WENYATHI    1 GOOD TRAVELLER   4 JET LEGACY

Summary: UNITED NATION (9) is unbeaten in four starts on the poly. Darryl Moore looks to have picked the right race for five on the bounce as he carries a handy weight. UMZINGELI WENYATHI (3) won first up on the poly and has only once finished out of the money in nine starts. GOOD TRAVELLER (1) loves the poly and got up to win narrowly last run. He may prefer it a furlong further. JET LEGACY (4) won his last two over the trip in the Scottsville turf and is back on the poly in good form. (Andrew Harrison: 9-3-1-4).

8

1 ACACIA’S BLOSSOM   5 ROCK MUSIC   6 ULTRA QUICK   7 INDECENT PROPOSAL

Summary: Tough race to close. ACACIA’S BLOSSOM (1) has dropped in trip at her last two and went close over course and distance at her penultimate start. A repeat effort could see her home. ROCK MUSIC (5) was a recent maiden winner on the Highveld. He has been showing steady improvement and now faces some well exposed older handicappers. ULTRA QUICK (6) has been racing over a little further but with De Melo staying aboard it may have been the advice to try shorter. INDECENT PROPOSAL (7) is in good form over course and distance. He has a slightly better draw this time around. (Andrew Harrison: 1-5-6-7).
