Race 1
Race Summary: BUFFALO STORM CODY walked in on debut and looks sure to go on. TAXI TO THE MOON also won when backed on debut but looks unlikely to challenge his stablemate. KING OF KILDARE won well on debut and the extra will suit. CYMRIC was runner-up in both starts and has a Trifecta chance. Watch newcomer WOLF MOUNTAIN.

Selections:
#1 Buffalo Storm Cody, #2 King Of Kildare, #5 Cymric, #3 Taxi To The Moon

Race 2
Race Summary: GOLDEN CHANDELIER won her last 2 starts and the combo is on a hat-trick. PEACE OF MIND was runner-up in her last 3 runs and finished ahead of GOLDEN CHANDELIER earlier - she meets her on 5kg better terms so should turn it around. VALIEVA disappointed last time and could do better. FORCE EIGHT and stablemate JET SET LADY are looking to improve. Respect debutante KHETHIWE'S DESTINY.

Selections:
#6 Peace Of Mind, #1 Golden Chandelier, #5 Khethiwe's Destiny, #7 Valieva

Race 3
Race Summary: WOMEN OF FAME beat GOCEKWITHLOVE by 2.50 lengths last time but the latter needed the run and has an advantage of 3kg - she could turn it around. WHAT A HONEY was feeling her legs last time. She is coupled with WAR QUEEN and either could get into the mix. WINGS WITHIN ME was not striding out last time - expect a better showing. JUST BE LEKKER drops in trip but with MYTHICAL DREAM could make the frame.

Selections:
#12 Gocekwithlove, #10 Women Of Fame, #11 War Queen, #1 What A Honey

Race 4
Race Summary: Top weight MIA FIORE finished 0.50 lengths in front of ALESIA'S LOVE last time and is 1kg better off, however, it could get close again. QUICK TRIP comes off a deserved maiden victory and could challenge. SAHARA DAWN, LADY ELLIOT and RAINING RUBIES could get into the fight for honours.

Selections:
#1 Mia Fiore, #2 Alesia's Love, #4 Quick Trip, #11 Raining Rubies

Race 5
Race Summary: Tricky. Ignore the last run of HAWKBILL - something went amiss. Stablemates TERRA TIME and TOTAL SURRENDER are not out of it. MILLAHUE went wrong last time but could need this outing. POORLITTLERICH GIRL is one for the shortlist and TROIS TROIS QUATRE should be on top of her on collateral form. None of the remaining runners can be discarded,

Selections:
#5 Hawkbill, #10 Poorlittlerichgirl, #6 Millahue, #8 Trois Trois Quatre

Race 6
Race Summary: BARBARESCO drops in class and should give a good account of himself. THE AFRICA HOUSE pulled up fatigued last time - look for a better performance. LADY FALLON was not striding out last time and must be considered. PLATINA PRINCESS races before this - watch. Others are looking for minor money.

Selections:
#1 Barbaresco, #4 The Africa House, #5 Lady Fallon, #6 Platina Princess

Race 7
Race Summary: If not troubled by an inside draw expect a good effort from CERULEAN DANCER. DANCING DORA could resume winning ways if behaves at the start. SIMPLY MAGIC must be given a serious chance in this field while stablemate DELLA'S SWORD cannot be ignored. Others are looking to pull off a surprise win.

Selections:
#3 Cerulean Dancer, #6 Simply Magic, #13 Della's Sword, #5 Dancing Dora

Race 8
Race Summary: Wide open race to end - load exotics. Both stablemates HOLOCENE and SIMPLE SIMPLE, as well as BOB'S YOUR UNCLE, WILLOW EXPRESS, ARCHIMEDES, KASHKAVAL, SCENT MASTER, NORDIC REBEL and WHORLY WHORLY warrant inclusion.

Selections:
#11 Kashkaval, #13 Holocene, #4 Scent Master, #9 Willow Express

Best Win: #1 BUFFALO STORM CODY         
Best Value Bet: #11 KASHKAVAL             
Best Longshot: #11 KASHKAVAL
