(8) FANTASY GIRL has been fancied in recent starts and can make the frame here, must include in all bets. (12) TRILLION DREAMS made progress in the last start and can build on that. (1) FLIGHT ENGINEER could get involved in the quartets. (Devonne Govender 2-8-12-1)
R2 (7) SPORTS FAN has run two good races and looks ready to strike here. (5) JUST ONE KISS comes from a yard who have done extremely well with unraced runners this season and must be taken seriously. (1) DANISH DYNAMITE is another who comes from a yard who generally do extremely well with unraced runners so keep an eye on the market. (3) ICED MARMALADE ran well at decent odds on debut and is sure to improve, include in everything. (Devonne Govender 7-5-1-3)
R3 (4) WORDSWORTH is knocking on the door for that next career win, Marco V’Rensburg is back aboard and he will take some beating here. (6) SMASHING is holding form and will be the main danger to the top selection, include in all bets. (2) MUNCHKIN is very capable on his day and must go into everything. (1) CAPTAIN TIK TOK is another who can pop up here and cannot be ignored, he will be in the firing line. (Devonne Govender 4-6-2-1)
R4 (4) COURAGEOUS ran extremely well in the last start and rates to have a big winning chance in this field respectively. (3) HAPHAZARD has never been far back in recent starts and is very capable of winning this. (8) DREAM SCAPE wasn’t far in the last start at big odds and represents value for the placings. (7) SWEET NOTHINGS can be unreliable at times but must go into larger perms. (Devonne Govender 4-3-8-7)
R5 (7) LUNA HALO packs plenty of class and will be a huge contender in this contest. (3) BUSH TRACKER has been racing well and will have a winning chance as he tends to do well over this 1600m trip. (1) ZINOVI is very capable on his day and despite the big weight he can make his presence felt in a big way. (4) GOLDEN PEACE won a gutsy race in the last start and must be respected here. (Devonne Govender 7-3-1-4-5)
R6 Competitive race. (1) STRATA is holding consistent form and will be a massive contender here, big winning chance. (6) SHARAPOVA is another who is in great form and must be included in all bets. (5) MS PATTY has won a gutsy race in her last start and goes for a third win on the bounce, another that must be respected. (4) HAVANA GREY ran extremely well finishing close up alongside the top selection and there won’t be much to choose hence she will be a big factor. (Devonne Govender 1-6-5-4)
R7 (6) HOT SAUCE produced a powerful finish on debut and was ultra-impressive, although she takes on her unbeaten stable companion (4) ANOTHERDANCEFORME she deserves the utmost of respect. Richard Fourie spoke very highly of her in his winning interview and she could be one to follow. (4) ANOTHERDANCEFORME will be the biggest danger to the top selection, she is unbeaten in three starts and will be fighting this one out. (7) INSTAWORTHY and (1) KING PRAWN are both horses to consider for the placings, they both come from similar form lines and should be included in the quartets. (Devonne Govender 6-4-7-1)
R8 (1) MY BEST SHOT packs plenty of class, he steps up significantly in distance however he looks the one to beat. (9) LOTUS ISLAND is holding solid form and gets a top rider up in the saddle, she will have to be taken very seriously over this trip. (5) ARDABIL is another who is in great form and warrants respect but will have to lift to get past the top two selections. (3) MASTER FORESTER is never too far back and can get into the quartets. (Devonne Govender 1-9-5-3)
R9 Competitive field. (8) HEART STEALER is holding solid form, he was narrowly beaten in the last start and must be factored into the equation. (4) HAROLD THE DUKE is very capable on his day, he goes well on the turf and will be a big runner. (7) JUAN CARLOS is another who is in top form and will run another big race. (9) PAINITE is holding top form and so is the jockey, another that is a must include in this open looking contest where a case can be made for many. (Devonne Govender 8-4-7-9
