9 TEMPRANILLO 2 SEED SEEKER 4 HAMMER BLOW 6 MONKEY’S WEDDING

Preview: 9 TEMPRANILLO made a fine debut over 1000m and would appreciate the step up in trip and should improve too. 2 SEED SEEKER Ran a good race last time and is improving so has a form chance. 4 HAMMER BLOW has 1,6 lengths to find on Seed Seeker and could be in the shake up. 6 MONKEY’S WEDDING Is by her Hawwaam out of a Dynasty mare. (David Thiselton 9-2-4-6)

RACE 2

2 AMAZONIAN 3 INSPIRATION 7 HATHIGHWAYTOTHESKY 8 MARIA LA GORDA

Preview: 2 AMAZONIAN has run three fair races and could be the one to beat in this line up. 3 INSPIRATION Improved last time out and from a high draw has a chance here. 7 HATHIGHWAYTOTHESKY was marginally ahead of inspiration last time out and also has a chance. 8 MARIA LA GORDA was only just behind the aforementioned pair and could also be in the shake up. (David Thiselton 2-3-7-8)

RACE 3

1 MILAN’S WORLD 7 TASKMASTER 6 DAWSON’S ANVIL 3 ANONYMOUS

Preview: 1 MILAN’S WORLD ran well when dropped from 1600m to 1200m last time and he should enjoy this trip. 7 TASKMASTER improved second time out and has a chance here. 6 DAWSON’S ANVIL is by Rafeef out of a three time-winning Jet Master mare. 3 ANONYMOUS has show enough to earn here. (David Thiselton 1-7-6-3)

RACE 4

1 BUFFALO STORM CODY 2 WILLIAM ROBERTSON 3 GREATERIX 6 FIRE ‘N FLAMES

Preview: 1 BUFFALO STORM CODY is top class and the rest of the field were flattered by his latest win. 2 WILLIAM ROBERTSON is also a Gr 1 winner but returns from a three month layoff. 3 GREATERIX has some class and some speed and could bounce back from two disappointing reappearances runs after a seven month layoff. 6 FIRE ‘N FLAMES has speed and could earn here. (David Thiselton 1-2-3-6)

RACE 5

2 WHISTLE THE TUNE 5 ALPINE JET 3 FROZEN FANTASY 1 ALMOND SEA

Preview: 2 WHISTLE THE TUNE has speed and class and is the one to beat if close to her best after a three month layoff. 5 ALPINE JET looks to have plenty of ability and is a big threat. 3 FROZEN FANTASY has the ability to earn here. 1 ALMOND SEA starts slowly but if breaking better than usual could earn. (David Thiselton 2-5-3-1)

RACE 6

2 MOCHA BLEND 7 GERBERA 4 TWOSTEP QUEEN 8 TOMYRIS

Preview: 2 MOCHA BLEND has a lot of class and should be coming into her own so has a chance from a good draw. 7 GERBERA a repeat of her last start will see her in the shake up. 4 TWOSTEP QUEEN won well last time out and can be right there with a repeat. 8 TOMYRIS has class and is progressive so is another one in with a shut. (David Thiselton 2-7-4-8)

RACE 7

Preview: 2 LEGEND OF ARTHUR had a down turn last season but the problem has been sorted and this Gr 1 SA Derby winner can get back to winning ways. 11 THE ULTIMATE KING won well last time and is well regarded so could build on that run and show the necessary improvement he will need to feature here. 3 WILD INTENT this SA Derby runner up will have benefited from his last run and could be in the shake up. 10 NAVAJO NATION has been in fair form and could earn again from pole position, although he is slightly under sufferance. (David Thiselton 2-11-3-10)

RACE 8

1 TAEGAN’S CHAMP 2 MASTERSHIP 4 ALADDIN’S LAMP 3 PIONEER SQUARE

Preview: 1 TAEGAN’S CHAMP bounced back last time and if building on that can get back to winning ways. 2 MASTERSHIP is a decent sort who might be ready to step up in trip. 4 ALADDIN’S LAMP ha the form to be a contender here and should have come on from his last start. 3 PIONEER SQUARE is in good form and should be right there. (1-2-4-3)

RACE 9

9 IMPACT INVESTOR 3 DARK SILVER 10 BUDDY BOY 2 DANCE KING

Preview: 9 IMPACT INVESTOR is knocking hard and could get it right this time from pole position with Lerena up. 3 DARK SILVER is in fine form and also has a good draw and he proved himself suited to this trip last time. 10 BUDDY BOY has ability and is still learning so can’t be ignored but does have a tricky draw. 2 DANCE KING has the ability to be in the shake up. (David Thiselton 9-3-10-2)

The Gr 3 Betway Victory Moon Stakes is an important pointer to the Betway Summer Cup and Legend Of Arthur could bounce back in this 1800m event today at Turffontein Standside.

Sean Tarry said recently Legend Of Arthur’s downturn in form last season was due to an allergy problem which was likely bought on by all the winter dust and he added he seemed to be over it. He made his reappearance over a way too sharp 1160m and was not at all disgraced in finishing 5,65 lengths behind the Gr 1-winning sprinter Buffalo Storm Cody. Legend Of Arthur carries 59kg on Sunday and if this Gr 1 SA Derby winner is at his best then he should run on well after being dropped out from a wide draw of ten. However, he is definitely not a confident choice and punters will have to go wide in the Pick 6 for this race. The Ultimate King is held in high regard, but he will have to prove he is up to it, because on official merit ratings he is 3,5kg under sufferance with the best weighted pair Thunee Playa and Money Heist. Wild Intent, who is only 2kg under sufferance, was a narrow runner up in the SA Derby and he will have benefited from his last run over 1450m and could be in the shake up. Navajo Nation has been in fair form and could earn again from pole position, although he is 2,5kg under sufferance with the best weighted pair. Field Marshall is only half-a-kilogram under sufferance and has a fair draw and he comes off  good run in the Michaelmas over 1900m at Hollywoodbets Greyville. His stablemate Shoot The Rapids has some class too and is also only half-a-kilogram under sufferance, although he does have a tricky draw of eight. Thunee Playa comes off a win over 2000m where he ran on well. He carries only 51kg and will have to run on strongly again as he will likely be dropped out from a wide draw. Money Heist is in good form too. He is generally kept to a mile, but he has run twice over middle distances before and he went close in one of them and was well beaten last time he tried. His dam by Lecture was a sprinter, so this Gimmethegreenlight gelding has a slight stamina doubt. Son Of Raj enjoys this course and distance but will have to bounce back from his last run in which he was beaten 8,10 lengths by Thunee Playa, with whom he is now 1kg worse off. Don’t Cry For Me is a bit in and out and this is because he tends to take a strong hold. He is only 2kg under sufferance and could be involved if finding cover from a wide draw. Two Miles West was beaten 5,70 lengths by Thunee Playa last time and is now 2kg worse off. Solar Sail was third in the SA Derby and has the ability to be a player, but he has a wide draw. It is a tough race and going as wide as possible is the suggestion.

The Listed Betway Summer Pudding Handicap is also wide open. Mocha Blend has a lot of class and should be coming into her own, so has a chance from a good draw despite having to carry joint topweight. Gerbera comes off a fine run when beaten just 1,75 lengths against a strong field of males, so will go close if repeating that effort, although she has a tricky draw of seven. Twostep Queen won well last time out just eight days before this race and will be right there with a repeat. Tomyris has class and should be cherry ripe so can go close over an ideal trip. Sukhumvit beat Gerbera by 1,65 lengths last time and is only 1kg worse off, but she does have a tough draw. Kisshoten is in fine form but has to carry joint topweight from a wide draw.

In the Listed Betway National Colour Stakes over 1000m Whistle The Tune has speed and class and is the one to beat if close to her best after a three month layoff, although it won’t be easy carrying 61kg off a 112 merit rating. Alpine Jet looks to have plenty of ability and is a big threat, despite officially being 3,5kg under sufferance, because she should rise above her 103 rating. Frozen Fantasy has the ability to earn here and has a potentially favourable high draw. Almond Sea starts slowly, which makes it tough for her being a sprinter, but she certainly has the ability to be thereabouts if breaking better than usual. Sonic Jet is in the handicap and could earn if low draws do not turn out to be a big disadvantage.

In the first leg of the Pick 6 over 1160m Buffalo Storm Cody impressed in his comeback and will be hard to beat. William Robertson is the back up.

In the eight race over 1800m Taegan’s Champ bounced back last time and if building on that can get back to winning ways. Mastership is a decent sort who might be ready to step up to this trip. Aladdin’s Lamp has the form to be a contender here and should have come on from his last start. Pioneer Square is in good form and should be right there. Birthright is a capable sort and could also be included.

In the ninth over 1600m Impact Investor is knocking hard and could get it right this time from pole position with Lerena up. Dark Silver is in fine form and also has a good draw and he enjoys this trip. Buddy Boy is still learning so could improve on his last start. Dance King has the ability to be in the shake up. Player could be a factor if bouncing back for an in form yard.

In the first leg of the PA Milan’s World and Taskmaster could fight it out.

In the first leg of the Bipot Amazonian looks the one to beat, but Inspiration and Hathighwaytothesky must be included too.

There were a number of grumpy supporters and punters after Gr1 Betway Summer Cup hopeful See It Again was scratched from his last intended start. None more so than trainer Michael Roberts who was of the opinion that his charge was not given a reasonable chance to load by the assistant starter.

Ruling after an official complaint was lodged by Roberts, the NHA dismissed his complaint and declared his deposit forfeit.

That said, a number of his local Cup rivals got a run under their girth and patrons face a fascinating Conditions Plate over 1600m at Hollywoodbets Greyville  tonight.

No doubt Roberts will have been instructed to pass See It Again through the barriers before lining up again and the gelding is classy enough to run a big race with stable rider Rachel Venniker there to coax him home.

There are a number of runners warming-up for the Summer Cup including Gareth van Zyl’s King Pelles. The gelding burst onto the scene with commanding victories in the staying races at the back end of Champions Season and he should be well suited to the stamina-sapping 2000m of the Turffontein Standside track. That said, he ran a cracker in a sprint behind Gr2 Post winner I Am Giant last time out and although he obviously prefers further he must have a decent chance on that showing. Nathan Kotzen with the help of ‘horse whisperer’ Glyn Redgrave appear to have cured former Cup winner Royal Victory of his quirky behavior and the gelding was running on late behind Madison Valley over 1400m last time out. His connections were well satisfied with that showing and should that outing will have brought him on although this is also well  short of his best. Adam Azzie, who recently started up at Summerveld after parting ways with his Gauteng-based father Michael, saddles Claw who is not a Cup entry and over his preferred trip which will make him dangerous. On My Honour was the beaten favourite  but not disgraced behind Madison Valley so is another to work into the equation.

One of the better bets on the Card could be Frank Robinson’s Cats Pajamas who steps out in another Condition Plate, this time over 1200m. He ran a cracker behind I Am Giant in his comeback run after a break and although he has drawn on the outside he is well in at the weights with a useful 4kg claimer aboard and he rates the horse to beat. He faces two class acts in former Equus Champion Dave The King and  Gr1 Champions Cup winner Gladatorian.  This pair would prefer further but their class can carry them through. Gladatorian should be the fitter of the two but this is sure to be keeping him ticking over before he heads to the Cape with Stuart Ferrie’s small string for a crack at the Gr1 L’Ormarins King’s Plate and the Gr1 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met.

Dave The King is a smart front-runner on his day but the distance of this race could find him out although he is fully capable racing fresh. Soho Star is course and distance suited and should put in a strong showing.

Ferrie saddles another of his Cape raiders in Cognac in the sixth. The son of Rafeef looks to be top class, winning both of his starts to date. But this is his first try at 1400m with top weight and the worst of the draw. Possibly just a warm-up before heading to the Cape and to give Ferrie as line on whether the Gr1 Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas is within his compass. He will face opposition in the form of Safe Travel who showed up well in his handicap debut behind what looks to be a more than useful winner in Kanal Skaater. He has a fair draw and should be a big threat. Duncan Howells sends out Rooster Bradshaw who was in need of his last run but not far back and should run another good race. Given the riding engagements, Dricus could be the best of Andre Nel’s trio as he started favourite in his local debut and should come on from that.

The PA opener is a tricky Maiden. Sugar Baby Love has only had two starts and was not far back last time out. With a 4kg claimer up she should be in the shake-up. Queen Of The Air has been a little disappointing and may prefer the poly but can feature in this line-up but Baltic Assayer can do some damage if allowed to get too far clear  and get away from his field.

Fine Wine and Intro should be the pick of the first leg of the Pick 6. Fine Wine has been knocking at the door for some time now and will never get a better opportunity to shed maiden while Intro was a beaten favourite last run but did not go on with her effort. That was on the poly and the switch back to turf could suit.

The fifth is wide open but Harun Al Rashid is well thought of by his connections but obviously has some issues given that he is lightly raced. He is down four pounds in the ratings and is one to watch in the market. Querari’s Dream  has the best of the draw and has been close up in his last two and gets a stronger rider aboard. There should be very little between Papa C and Riccardo, the former looking to be the better proposition  given the he meets his rival at the same weights as when they met two runs back.

Dark Matter does not have the best of draws in the seventh but was close-up in a strong field last time out even though carrying a light weight. Down on class she should make a fist of it. Shipindani needed her last run at Durbanville and was not far back. Lightly raced she can go close here. Crafty Crofty was close-up in a useful field over course and distance last time out. She gets the benefit of a useful 4kg claimer and should run well.

The ninth is a difficult race to round off the Pick 6 but Phutulicious  is showing signs of coming to hand again and has dropped to a more competitive rating while Rhythm was finishing well under a big weight last time out and appears to have come to hand again and could be the biggest threat.
