Race 1
Race Summary: Watch the many first-timers especially EQUESTRIAN AFFAIR, MOVER AND SHAKER and SONG TO THE SUN. THUNDERSTRUCK was backed on debut and will know more about it. TAIKONAUT eased in the betting on debut but ran on nicely to get close. He will enjoy the extra. KUZNETSOV could place.
Selections:
#12 Thunderstruck, #6 Mover And Shaker, #2 Equestrian Affair, #11 Taikonaut
Race 2
Race Summary: Tricky. ZOOM LADY found problems in her second start and looks best of those who have raced. SHE’S A KLAWER showed improvement in her second start and could take home a cheque. Watch the many first-timers.
Selections:
#16 Zoom Lady, #8 Percussionist, #12 She’s A Klawer, #1 A Colourful Past
Race 3
Race Summary: Difficult to assess. Three runners race before this, BEFORE NOON, AFRAAD and APOLLO ROBBINS – watch. NARTJIE has ability but lost the plot, however, he has been given time off and could find true form. THE KOP is best this distance and could go in again. TWIN TURBO could get his act together. FLASHY APACHE was never travelling last time and could get back on track. JUAN CARLOS is back over a preferred trip and could get into the action.
Selections:
#4 The Kop, #5 Twin Turbo, #3 Nartjie, #2 Juan Carlos
Race 4
Race Summary: MANDALAY showed marked improvement when sporting blinkers for the first time after a rest. She holds STORMY LASS, LOVE BITE and GRECIA on collateral form. EBULLIENCE wasn’t disgraced on debut and will come on. CONFETTI SHOWER improved after a rest and could have a say. MUSICAL KISS and TIME SILHOUETTE are reported to be in need of the run.
Selections:
#1 Mandalay, #8 Ebullience, #2 Confetti Shower, #10 Grecia
Race 5
Race Summary: MARADIVA was heavily backed last time but pulled up blowing profusely. She finished well behind stablemate DOUBLE MAGIC but could produce her best. EARL OF CARDIGAN is running well and shouldn’t be far off. MODERN MAGICIAN was rested for over a year after a decent debut but returns as a gelding – watch. GONE IN TIME and FULLIAUTOMATIX are looking for Quartet money.
Selections:
#10 Double Magic, #2 Earl Of Cardigan, #13 Quick Run, #1 Maradiva
Race 6
Race Summary: The field is not very strong and PICARA who has been knocking, should escape the maidens on the 11th time of asking. COUNTRY FLAME and RED CARPET GIRL who races before this, as well as MIX THE MAGIC, ROCKINGTHETIMEAWAY and KISS TO DREAM (not striding out last time), could get into the money.
Selections:
#4 Picara, #6 Mix The Magic, #5 Country Flame, #7 Kiss To Dream
Race 7
Race Summary: CALIBRE CREST found no support on debut but finished off strongly. He had FORGOTTON TIME and NEVER TO CLEVER behind him. He should relish the extra and confirm the form. ASPIRINGTOREIGN comes off a rest – respect any money. GOLD LAVA tries further now and could feature. GREAT MELODY appears inconsistent but could get into the money. COMING IN HOT could make the Quartet.
Selections:
#13 Calibre Crest, #12 Aspiringtoreign, #1 Forgotten Time, #15 Gold Lava
Race 8
Race Summary: DUKE OF RAIN has done well in his post maiden runs and could chalk up his second win. FLYING GRACE is running well. He meets ABLUEAZURE on 4kg better terms for 0.45 lengths beating and should turn it around. SO LONG SPRING races before this but if takes his place could get into the action, however with CLARKSON and ATTENTIVE have wide draws to contend with. THE SASH could upset the apple-cart.
Selections:
#3 Duke Of Rain, #1 Flying Grace, #2 Ablueazure, #10 So Long Spring
Best Win: #4 PICARA
Best Value Bet: #4 THE KOP
Best Longshot: #4 THE KOP
