Race 1
Race Summary: ISIVIVANE showed good improvement following his debut in the Western Cape and won well on local debut, so can follow up. HAVANA MOON has improved with each run and should like this longer distance. VIEW OF THE WORLD was not disgraced on debut and can contest the finish. DISCERNING was well beaten when travelling to Gauteng but did enough in her first two starts to be a threat. MISTER NIBBLES has been fair and could earn. GREAT PLAINS makes his local debut and improvement can be expected.
Selections:
#13 Isivivane, #1 Havana Moon, #2 View Of The World, #10 Great Plains
Race 2
Race Summary: WE WILL ROCK YOU was not beaten far on debut and should make a bold bid at beating these rivals. CUPID'S WAY was slow away on debut and is likely to show vast improvement. ELUSIVE BELLE has been consistent and could be aided by the blinkers that have been reached for. COPACABANA makes her debut for a trainer that is pretty good at readying them up to win on debut if good enough. DYNASTY'S LAST and SAFE AND SOUND are also capable of improvement.
Selections:
#2 We Will Rock You, #3 Cupid's Way, #4 Elusive Belle, #5 Copacabana
Race 3
Race Summary: CHIEFTAIN put in a good debut performance and does look the one to be with against these rivals. BOMBER STREAM shows pace and could hang into a place. THE TEACHER makes his debut and a look at the betting at race time will be a good indication of his winning chance. RAILROAD has been very disappointing in that he has yet to win but can contest the finish yet again. TRIPPI T is knocking hard at the door and should fight out the finish once again.
Selections:
#2 Chieftain, #5 Railroad, #6 Trippi T, #3 Bomber Stream
Race 4
Race Summary: NETTLETON is in good form and should be a big runner in this handicap. KENNEDY is much improved of late and only found one better on the day last time out so will be a threat once again. WAR EMPRESS lacks a strong finish but is consistent and can earn some more money. RAPID FIRE has not won for some time but is in good heart and can contest the finish. MAQUETTE has won twice over this course and distance and deserves some respect.
Selections:
#5 Nettleton, #6 Kennedy, #8 Witchwood, #10 War Empress
Race 5
Race Summary: LIGHTNING GLOW is improving and is coming off two solid wins so may pack too much of a punch for these rivals. RED WILLIAM is probably at his very best on the Polytrack but has done enough to be a lovely runner in this race. AFRICAN DUSK does seem better than his last run would suggest and could bounce back to earn some money. BANZAI PIPELINE is capable of a strong finish when in the mood. JOHNNY THE THIEF can earn some money back on the turf.
Selections:
#6 Lightning Glow, #5 Red William, #7 African Dusk, #3 Banzai Pipeline
Race 6
Race Summary: Snaith Racing could have a decent meeting as their runner in this, GET IMPRESSED, is consistent and clearly the one to beat. EL REY VIENE has been good without winning of late and should be right there at the finish. BELLA SICCOME is hat-trick-seeking after two wins on soft tracks and will be a threat if it comes up soft once again. MASTER FUEGO is improving and can get involved in the finish. CYBER TIME may need to improve a bit to beat these rivals but can earn some more money.
Selections:
#1 Get Impressed, #2 El Rey Viene, #3 Bella Siccome, #7 Master Fuego
Race 7
Race Summary: A competitive-looking handicap. IRON WILL has been much improved of late and has to be included in all exotics. CRESTED EAGLE likes this course and could be a threat. FOREST JUMP has not won for some time but did run an improved race last time out. JOSHUA HOTSNAKE has been very consistent of late and is an obvious danger. PHUTULICIOUS is improving and is clearly not out of it. BUNTING showed improvement when winning last time out and could have more to offer. GIAMBATTISTA has won his last three races but may be vulnerable to improving horses.
Selections:
#1 Iron Will, #7 Giambattista, #4 Joshua Hotsnake, #2 Crested Eagle
Race 8
Race Summary: A tough end to the card. SHONA KIRSTY YVES looks better than her last run would suggest and could bounce back to score. HARLEY'S FATE battles to finish of her race but could earn some minor money. GOLDEN ASPEN is capable of better and could play a minor role. CINNAMON BLUSH and SPIRITED FLIGHT are both quite capable of getting involved in the finish. CHELSEA FLOWER and SWISS PARADISE have been fair of late and are clearly not out of it.
Selections:
#2 Shona Kirsty Yves, #8 Swiss Paradise, #7 Chelsea Flower, #6 Spirited Flight
Best Win: #5 NETTLETON
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #2 SHONA KIRSTY YVES
