Race 1
Race Summary: A tough race to start the card. SWEET AND TRUE put up two decent performances to start her career so it was a disappointment when she flopped on this surface last time. That winner has won again so the form line is solid and she could bounce back to score. Stable companion POMO'S BIG SPENDER ran well on debut and should have more to offer. NIKES RAY OF LIGHT is improving and should fight out the finish. CAPE FLOWER is consistent and is not of it. FANTASY GIRL has been a disappointment but can contest the finish. DOUBLE TRADE shows pace and could attempt to make all the running.
Selections:
#3 Sweet And True, #1 Nikes Ray Of Light, #2 Pomo's Big Spender, #4 Cape Flower
Race 2
Race Summary: A very weak race. CONSIGLIERE did not show his best but could steal a race like this if given a soft lead. HAT HOT HAT likes the Polytrack and should fight out the finish once again. CONNECTION is unreliable but is not out of it over this track and trip. HOUSE OF SUSSEX makes his local debut but would not be a surprise winner. MY TRUE LOVE is not an easy ride but does have a winning chance in a weak race.
Selections:
#1 Consigliere, #2 Hat Hot Hat, #3 Connection, #4 House Of Sussex
Race 3
Race Summary: LA PEQUENITA is getting closer to a first win and can go one better this time. PORTCULLIS is improving and was runner-up last time out when trying this surface. He will not go down easily. TAKE A MULLIGAN was an unlucky loser last month but flopped last time out on this surface. GOLD GUNNER was not disgraced last time and could improve with blinkers fitted. MAYOR OF MERRIVALE was not disgraced last time and can contest the finish once again. DAWN CLOUD has been expensive to follow of late but could like the Polytrack.
Selections:
#10 La Pequenita, #6 Portcullis, #1 Take A Mulligan, #2 Gold Gunner
Race 4
Race Summary: A competitive race. Filly CATCH YOUR BREATH has a decent finishing turn on her and could succeed with luck in running. FUJISAN is an unpredictable fellow but did win his penultimate start and is not out of it. TO THE HILT won nicely on local debut but tries the Polytrack. REACH FORTHE STARS looked an unlucky loser last time but does not look an easy ride. SLAINTE MHATH flopped last time out but is better on this surface, GODFATHER, HEAD GARDENER and ADIOS AMIGOS are all capable of getting involved with the finish.
Selections:
#4 Catch Your Breath, #6 Reach Forthe Stars, #7 Slainte Mhath, #10 Adios Amigos
Race 5
Race Summary: Another very competitive race. SUN SPECTACULAR ran well last time out and has scope for further improvement. OPERA SWING was not disgraced in a better race than this last time out but does give chunks of weight away. FOR ALL WE KNOW was a bitter disappointment last time out after some nice wins. GLOBAL RUSH is holding form and is clearly not out of it. UNYIELDING, RAISING QUINN and DUELLONA are all capable of contesting the finish over this particular course and distance.
Selections:
#4 Sun Spectacular, #3 Global Rush, #2 For All We Know, #1 Opera Swing
Race 6
Race Summary: GOCEKWITHLOVE found good betting support when winning on debut. It was an impressive performances trying the Polytrack and she may have more wins in the tank. This is a much tougher task but she could be up to it. GOLDEN PACIFIC has been good all year and can contest the finish again. MISS GREENLIGHT has been good without winning of late and deserves the utmost respect in this line-up. RED SASH is consistent and can earn some more money.
Selections:
#6 Gocekwithlove, #4 Miss Greenlight, #1 Golden Pacific, #10 Red Sash
Race 7
Race Summary: An interesting race. Jockey Richard Fourie has a good record on a number of these runners and his choice of THE MAURITIAN could be followed, but he might have it all to do at the weights with PRINCE OF FIRE. The Gimmethegreenlight gelding has been disappointing on the turf of late but did better on this surface earlier this season and can bounce back and score, FAIRY KNIGHT found the Derby distance a step too far but might also not be at his very best over this particular course and distance. INHERIT THE RAIN loves the Polytrack and will be doing is best work late. SLINGS AND ARROWS will also be a threat this track and trip.
Selections:
#1 Prince Of Fire, #2 Fairy Knight, #3 Inherit The Rain, #6 The Mauritian
Race 8
Race Summary: A very open last race. PUERTO PLATA disappointed twice in a row but has done well on this surface and can win a race like this. ALADO'S PRIDE was not disgraced on the turf last time out and has won his last two races on this surface. JASPERO is battling to regain form but has a place chance. DOWNING SEVEN is unreliable but has a winning chance this track and trip. CATCH THE TUNE may have just needed the last run and can do better this distance. HEKNOWS, KANIMAMBO and SAN QUINTIN are all in good shape and can earn some money.
Selections:
#9 Puerto Plata, #11 Kanimambo, #4 Downing Seven, #7 Heknows
Best Win: #6 GOCEKWITHLOVE
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #1 PRINCE OF FIRE
