RACE 1
SAY A PRAYER was not disgraced on debut. She now has Richard Fourie in the irons and could score. CARNIVAL will carry the same colours as that rival but represents trainer Dean Smith. She makes her debut but would not be a surprise winner. RIVER VIEW and SEATTLE GLOW are both on debut for trainer Alan Greeff and can get involved with the finish. J LORDI showed pace on debut and could improve trying the Polytrack.
RACE 2
RULES OF CONDUCT is threatening a first success and should beat these rivals. APPLES AND TEA tries the Polytrack and could improve. GLOBAL THRILLER was not disgraced in both starts and could contest the finish. PROFUMO was not disgraced on debut but does try the Polytrack this time. BLAZING FLAME and ON THE OUTSIDE need to do more to score but can earn some money.
RACE 3
A competitive looking race. SATELLITE WORLD is threatening a winning turn. TRIP TO PEACE makes a local debut and would not be a surprise winner. GREY WARRIOR has been a disappointment so far but could earn some money. OSMIUM showed improvement on local debut and could score this time around. STRAIGHT RED and MEDITERRANEANFLAME both need to do more to win but can make the frame.
RACE 4
A very open leg of the Pick 6 and we may have to go very wide to get through this leg. GARDEN SUN was not disgraced last time out and could pop up. A BIT CHILLY has held form of late and would not be a surprise winner. HENRY’S HEDGE has run in better fields than this of late and must be respected. PAST AND PRESENT and DEANDRE’S DREAM both make their local debuts and must be included in all bets. SAN QUINTIN, MIGHTY MAC and REFLECT are others to consider.
RACE 5
Trainer Alan Greeff has 5 of the 9 runners so we will look to stable jockey Richard Fourie. STRAWBERRY THIEF was given a soft debut and looks likely to improve. ENCHANTING CHOICE is in very good form and will challenge her stable companion for victory. EPIKLEROS has had a very good season and is clearly not out of it. FAMILY POWER is consistent and must be considered a possible winner. GINGER DELIGHT could return to form on this surface.
RACE 6
DUPONT EMERALD has been in good form of late. She is not well drawn and has to prove herself on this surface but is clearly the right one on form. STAR IN MOTION makes his local debut and should show improvement. STRANGE MAGIC has not been reliable but would not be a surprise winner. EL CAPITAN and HONORINE’S GIMMIE are both capable of better than their last runs would suggest and are capable of getting into the mix of things.
RACE 7
TINTAMARRE clearly likes the Polytrack and now has four wins on the surface. Two of them were over this particular distance and he could prove hard to beat. GOLDEN PAVILON does not always show his best side but is not out of it. PRINCESS HANNAH and BLACK EGRET are both capable of improvement and could prove dangerous this time around. CHAMPONELLE, ALESIA’S LOVE and ONE TOO MANY are also capable of making the frame.
RACE 8
A very open looking last race handicap. ALEX MILLER is badly drawn and is a difficult filly to win with but does have claims in a tricky race. PARADISE WAY is capable of improvement from a good draw. AYUWI YUWI found betting support last time out and won so must be respected for that. GENOVEFA loves the Polytrack and is capable of another victory. JAMBO SANA, KENTUCKY LASSIE and MIDNIGHT MUSIC all seem better than their disappointing last runs.
