Race 1

7 AMC ROY’S FANTASY   6 ODE TO THE SEA   9 SMART CHOICE   10 GREEN ENERGY

Summary: Many first timers so keep an eye on the betting. Of those that have run, AMC ROY’S FANTASY (7) has put up the best time and may be the one to side with but Mike Miller has his usual loaded card of which ODE TO THE SEA (6) with Tristan Godden up may prove the pick after making good improvement at his second outing. The filly SMART CHOICE (9) was hot on his heels that day and started favourite. Of the first timers GREEN ENERGY (10) strikes as a colt with a hot pedigree. (Andrew Harrison: 7-6-9-10).

Race 2

1 JAPURA   10 LADY GODIVA   8 BETTER NEVER ENDS   TIMELESS WONDER

Summary: Many first timers. Of those that have run, JAPURA (1) made good progression after her debut effort and should put in an honest effort. LADY GODIVA (10) was a well beaten second on debut but the experience should count in her favour. BETTER NEVER ENDS (8) was not far back on debut and should come on with that experience. TIMELESS WONDER (5) with a claiming apprentice up can improve on a modest debut. (Andrew Harrison: 1-10-8-5).

Race 3

4 CAMOGIE    10 SARGASSO SEA   11 LEVITATOR   1 FULL MONTY

Summary: CAMOGIE (4) has shown up well in both starts to date and was beaten by a promising Son Of Rafeef last time out. He started favourite on debut and with two runs under his girth he should know what’s it’s all about. SARGASSO SEA (10) disappointed last run after an improved second start. She has a light weight and can do better. LEVITATOR (11) has consistent form to his name and started favourite last time out. His recent form has been on the poly but he does have a light weight. FULL MONTY (1) has not been far off in two starts and can still improve. First timer ETZEBETH (7) boasts a cracking pedigree and maybe he can cheer up his suspended namesake. (Andrew Harrison: 4-10-11-1).

Race 4

12 SAUDI SWEEP   8 COCCOLINA   3 PAST IS PROLOGUE   2 MISS DANON

Summary: Tough start to the Pick 6. SAUDI SWEEP (12) was withdrawn from her last intended start by Stipes permission. She has been in smart form since joining  Louis Goosen and this could be her day. COCCOLINA (8) is lightly raced but caught the eye last run on the poly and could finally be coming to hand. PAST IS PROLOGUE (3) made a fair debut at Hollywoodbets Durbanville last time out and makes her local debut. She started at long odds but is one to watch along with stable companion first timer SCARLET STARLET (4) the mount of S’Manga Khumalo, Gareth van Zyl’s go-to rider. MISS DANON (2) made sudden improvement when dropped back to a sprint and could be the surprise package. (Andrew Harrison: 12-8-3-2).

Race 5

9 PAST AND PRESENT   7 BLACK PLATINA   5 DEE DEE’S DELIGHT

Summary: PAST AND PRESENT (9) made a promising debut for his new stable and judging on his previous Cape form the step up in trip will suit. Stable companion DEE DEE’S DELIGHT (5) has improved with each outing. She drops back in trip where she has done well before. BLACK PLATINA (7) is struggling but has been close-up of late and has a good chance in this field with a 4kg claimer aboard. (Andrew Harrison: 9-7-5).

Race 6

3 JEANNE DARC   8 SAINT BRIGID   4 DE VLUGGE   5 TREASURE ISLAND

Summary: Competitive handicap. JEANNE DARC (3) has been dropping rapidly in the handicap and although shouldering top weight she is down in class and possibly off to a more competitive rating. SAINT BRIGID (8) won well last time out and has come on progressively since arriving in KZN. She is 1.5kg better off with DE VLUGGE (4) on their last meeting and should be able to confirm that form. TREASURE ISLAND (5) looks to be coming to hand again and with a light weight and her best form she will be competitive. (Andrew Harrison: 3-8-4-5).

Race 7

11 ROYAL VICTORY   3 CAPE EAGLE   9 IMILENZEYOKUDUDUMA    6 NARINA TROGON

Summary: ROYAL VICTORY (11) ran well below par in the soft in the Gr1 Betway Summer Cup and can make amends this time around in spite of top weight and the widest draw. He is the class and best weighted in the field. CAPE EAGLE (3) did not take his trip to the Highveld well and back over a course where he has smart form he could be a threat. IMILENZEYOKUDUDUMA (9) appears to be the pick of the Hollywood Racing’s runners if Sean Veale’s choice is anything to go by although he is way out at the handicap. NARINA TROGON (6) is always dangerous and the step up in trip will suit. (Andrew Harrison: 11-3-9-6).

Race 8

9 CLEARTHERUNWAY   1 PLAZZA ACCORD   6 RICCARDO   11 TOBACCONIST

Summary: Tristan Godden has jumped ship on CLEARTHERUNWAY (9) to partner PLAZA ACCORD (1) but Mark Dixon’s runner has only had three outings and was close-up in a strong field in his handicap debut. He looks more than capable of going in again. Plazza Accord has steady form over the trip but has to give Cleartherunway 3.5kg which may prove too much. RICCARDO (6) is down in class with a light weight. He could go all the way. TOBACCONIST (11) has been rested but had useful form before the lay-off. He could race fresh.  (Andrew Harrison: 9-1-6-11).

Race 9

2 COWBOY COUNTRY   7 CAPTAIN’S CHRISTY   8 FIRST ORIGIN   1 AGRADO

Summary: COWBOY COUNTRY (2) won well on debut and followed up with a smart handicap debut. He has a light weight and looks the part in this line-up. CAPTAIN’S CHRISTY (7) is never far back and is in good form of late as is the stable. FIRST ORIGIN (8) has a big weight but is four-points down in the handicap and has not been far back of late. AGRADO (1) won well enough last time out under a fair weight and although up in class, he can go in again. (Andrew Harrison: 2-7-8-1).

Race 10

13 COUNTER ATTACK   8 LUNCH MONEY   6 YANNAKIS   1 MASK ON

Summary: Difficult handicap to round off the day. COUNTER ATTACK (13) has improved with each outing since arriving from the Cape and looks primed for this. LUNCH MONEY (8) is the first runner back for Dominic Zackey since his return from Mauritius. The gelding returns from a year-long break but boasts strong form in good company so one to watch in the betting. YANNAKIS (6) has always been rated by the stable but has had his problems. His last win was over course and distance and he gets a senior rider aboard. MASK ON (1) has steady form and a handy weight. All his recent form has been on the poly but he gets S’Manga Khumalo aboard which will help his chances. (Andrew Harrison: 13-8-6-1).
