A wide-open contest as a case can be made for quite a number of these runners. ROCKPOOL has run 2nd in consecutive starts over shorter distances and with improvement likely over this trip, ought to go close again from the widest draw. ASPECT is closely matched with that rival and should represent the race value from the best of the draws. SELUKWE, MADISON BLUES, RUBERTUS and CYBOTIX all showed improvement when stepped up in distance last time and should have more to offer over the extra. MOHANDAS, STORM BOULEVARD, FELIDAVIAN, DIRECTOR’S CUT and RELEASE ME can all get into the picture.

Watch out for: MOHANDAS (6)

 

4 14H30 – Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge Fm 86 Handicap (F & M)

Tricky. Consistent MISS GREENLIGHT registered another 2nd in this grade over 1250m last time and a repeat of that effort should see her fight out the finish again. MA BLACK filled the runners-up berth behind re-opposing DIFFERENT FACE (1.5kg worse off) but with improved fitness on her side, could turn the tables on these revised terms. Debut winner GIMMEAFIRST was thrown into the deep end in her last start after a break and ought to fare better racing back down the lane. PACIFIC GREEN and KZN raiders LIVE MY LIFE and BAUBLES AND BEADS could also make their presence felt.

 

Top Tip: MA BLACK (5)

Watch out for: MISS GREENLIGHT (1)

 

5 15H05 – www.hollywoodbets.net Middle Stakes

Tricky. LOVE IN WINTER made a winning start to his career and backed that up with another victory in a similar contest to this at his next start, resulting in a 6-point penalty. He remains open to further improvement, so will probably prove better than currently rated, and looks well placed to win again. Younger rivals MICHAEL FARADAY and DANCE VARIETY are useful, improving sorts capable of posing a threat over this shorter trip. LUNARCAM is highly regarded and boasts solid form but will need to eke out some improvement to have a say on these terms. RAGNAR LOTHBROK warrants respect.

 

Top Tip: LUNARCAM (9)

Watch out for: LOVE IN WINTER (4)

 

6 15H40 – Laisserfaire Stakes (Listed) (Fillies And Mares Handicap)

SANTA MARIA made an encouraging winning comeback over 1400m recently, when getting the better of re-opposing rivals GOING UP, KWINTA’S LIGHT and DANCETILDAYLIGHT. She ought to be competitive with improved fitness on her side but faces a tough task confirming that form over this trip and on these revised weight terms. Stablemate GOING UP could fare best of those as the drop to this trip on 4kg better terms should suit. Lightly raced Ridgemont fillies WHOA WHOA WHOA and STIPTELIK have done little wrong in their careers. Both remain open to improvement so could have a say in the outcome. Tricky!

 

Top Tip: STIPTELIK (5)

Watch out for: WHOA WHOA WHOA (2)

 

7 16H15 – Woolavington Stakes (Listed) (4-year-olds And Older)

Small field assembled for this Listed contest. BELGARION sets a lofty standard and is well treated by the conditions of the race, so ought to acquit himself competitively if ready after a rest. Progressive YOUNG LOVE returns from a break too but did win a 3yo fillies’ feature over this course and distance two starts back when racing fresh. She’ll take some beating under 50kg with further improvement likely. FLOWER OF SAIGON and BARATHEON are consistent and stay this trip well, so will make their presence felt. REX UNION is an improving stayer who could have a role to play too.

 

Top Tip: FLOWER OF SAIGON (3)

Watch out for: YOUNG LOVE (2)

 

8 16H50 – Cape Mile (Grade 3) (4-year-old Horses And Older)

Champion JET DARK is the star attraction in this Grade 3 main event and will prove too good for these rivals if anywhere near his best. He does, however, have bigger summer targets on his agenda and will not be fully tuned, though will not need to be. SILVER OPERATOR made an encouraging Cape return in a 1400m Grade 3 and with that run under his belt should give the selection most to fear. RASCALLION and GOLDEN DUCAT are classy sorts in their own right but will probably be in need of this outing following lengthy layoffs.

 

Top Tip: SILVER OPERATOR (1)

Watch out for: JET DARK (4)

 

9 17H25 – Hollywoodbets Bright Future Mr 74 Handicap

CHEEKY LADDIE has not been disgraced in either of his post-maiden outings after a debut success. He has been lowered a few points by the handicapper and should be competitive as a result. TIZONA registered consecutive 2nd-place finishes having been dropped in the ratings and he’s likely to make his presence felt again despite a 3-point rise for his latest effort. MAX THE OTTER opened his account last time and looks well placed to make another bold winning bid in this line-up on handicap debut. RADAMES, PATH OF CHOICE and RUNNING RIFLES are all capable of staking a claim too.

 

Top Tip: MAX THE OTTER (2)
