Race 1
Race Summary: An interesting start to the card. Trainer Alan Greeff could hold a strong hand. CAN'T SAY NO showed good improvement last time out when runner-up behind a promising sort but it is stable companion and newcomer FIRE ALARM who gets the services of stable jockey Richard Fourie. That suggests she may well be the stable choice. FIRST LORD ran well on debut but the run on Friday 12 April will be a good sign on his progress. GOLDEN LINK has run well twice and should be right there at the finish again. MAGICAL RIVER can also get involved with the finish once again.

Selections:
#7 Fire Alarm, #4 Golden Link, #6 Can'T Say No, #3 First Lord

Race 2
Race Summary: A competitive-looking race. OUTER DIMENSION was not disgraced on local debut and could do even better this time around. WILLIAM'S LEGACY and MASTER OF DEFENSE have both been consistent of late and should be involved with the finish once again. HAT HOT HAT has been fair of late and is not out of it. JET BUND has been a bitter disappointment of late but is not out of it. SPECMAGIC was not disgraced on local debut and can earn some more money.

Selections:
#7 Outer Dimension, #5 Master Of Defense, #4 William's Legacy, #3 Specmagic

Race 3
Race Summary: STORM BOULEVARD let his supporters down last time out but was in good form before that and can bounce back to score. He tries the Polytrack but does look the one to beat. His main danger should be CRYSTAL MAIDEN. This filly is consistent and ran well when runner-up on debut and is a big threat trying the Polytrack. IMHOTEP has been a disappointment over further on the turf of late but can bounce back to score trying this surface. HE'S A GAUL is in good form and can earn some money. BELLE'S FIRST WAVE and SUNDROP both need to do more to win but can play a minor role.

Selections:
#1 Storm Boulevard, #4 Crystal Maiden, #5 Imhotep, #6 He's A Gaul

Race 4
Race Summary: A very open-looking handicap. ON THE GUEST LIST is threatening to win a race and should contest the finish once again. It may pay, however, to have plenty of runners in this leg of the Pick 6. FIRE GLOW drops back to a handicap and could upset. KEEP THE FORT is unreliable but is not out of it. LADY WRITER has been consistent of late and has a winning chance. GET IT DONE is unreliable but could play a minor role. TURN THE PAGE makes her local debut and could surprise. LADY ZULTANITE and SKY VELOCITY are in good form and would not be surprise winners.

Selections:
#7 On The Guest List, #11 Lady Zultanite, #9 Sky Velocity, #5 Get It Done

Race 5
Race Summary: GRAZINGINTHEGRASS has not been running up to his rating of late but this course and distance suits and he can bounce back to score. RUNAWAY SONG makes his local debut after a change of trainer. He has a good record on the Polytrack and should be right there at the finish. GLOBAL ALLY is badly drawn but has a good recent record and can contest the finish again. JAEGER MOON is always capable of earning some money. BRENDEN JAMES and OFFICIAL SECRET have both been much improved this season and could earn some money.

Selections:
#1 Grazinginthegrass, #2 Runaway Song, #3 Global Ally, #7 Official Secret

Race 6
Race Summary: Another tough handicap for the punters. WHATEVER NEXT has been in good form of late and could like this track and trip so gets a narrow vote to score. Stable companion INHERIT THE RAIN likes the Polytrack and is capable of a strong finish when in the mood. TEATRO has been good on this surface this season and is clearly not out of it. SAFE RETURN showed improvement last time out and could get involved with the finish again. ROSE OF BAYEUX is also capable of winning a race of this nature.

Selections:
#5 Whatever Next, #9 Slings And Arrows, #1 Inherit The Rain, #2 Teatro

Race 7
Race Summary: Trainer Alan Greeff and jockey Richard Fourie should have a decent meeting and CONCERTO should be a big runner in this race. The filly is improving and quickened nicely to win her last start and could be ahead of the handicapper. Stable companion MARY LAMB is clearly better than her last run and could finish in the money. RAISING QUINN is course and distance suited and should be right there at the finish once again. DREAM SCAPE showed us what she is capable of with an easy win on the turf last time out. IDABELLE and COLORAMA both like this course and are capable of earning some money.

Selections:
#3 Concerto, #2 Raising Quinn, #4 Dream Scape, #5 Idabelle

Race 8
Race Summary: A very open looking lucky last race. TIMBAVATI RIVER has not been at best of late but is capable of bouncing back over this course and distance. LIFE ON MARS is in very good form but is giving weight to most of his rivals. TRANSACT ran on late last time out and could be more effective this distance. DONNY TEE is improving and should fight out the finish. GREY SMOKE disappointed last time out but is capable of better. COASTAL PATH is consistent and clearly not out of it. AMERICAN DREAM remains in good form and could pull off the hat-trick.

Selections:
#12 Timbavati River, #9 American Dream, #10 Coastal Path, #1 Life On Mars

Best Win: #1 GRAZINGINTHEGRASS          
Best Value Bet:                    
Best Longshot: #12 TIMBAVATI RIVER
