Race 1
Race Summary: NIKES RAY OF LIGHT is carded to have run on Tuesday so that run needs to be looked at. CORAL CREEK makes his debut for a strong trainer-jockey combination and deserves respect. MASTER FORESTER tries the Polytrack on local debut and could improve. OVER THE ATLANTIC did not show her best last time out but could earn some money. THREAD OF LIFE should be right there at the finish once again.
Selections:
#5 Nikes Ray Of Light, #8 Thread Of Life, #2 Coral Creek, #4 Master Forester
Race 2
Race Summary: A very weak race. KAROO BOKKIE makes her debut for trainer Alan Greeff and has Richard Fourie in the irons. She could be the right one. BEST INTENTIONS is holding form and will not go down without a fight. BELLA ATTRICE is battling to get out of the maiden ranks but could make all in this line-up. GOTCHA BUZZ is capable of contesting the finish. TUNE AGAIN needs to do a bit more to win a race but could earn some money. BLUEBERRY BLUE lacks a strong finish but could earn some minor money.
Selections:
#7 Karoo Bokkie, #1 Best Intentions, #2 Bella Attrice, #3 Gotcha Buzz
Race 3
Race Summary: Another weak race. IGUGULETHU was slowly away on local debut. He could make vast improvement this week trying the Polytrack. HAT HOT HAT is carded to run on Tuesday but will have a winning chance if appearing for this race. VELVET VALOUR has flopped in his last two starts but is capable of a surprise on best form. COLONEL GREEN lacks extra when he needs it most but is quite capable of contesting the finish. HOUSE OF SUSSEX makes his local debut on Tuesday and that run needs to be looked at. SEXBOMB could play a minor role.
Selections:
#1 Igugulethu, #2 Hat Hot Hat, #4 Colonel Green, #5 House Of Sussex
Race 4
Race Summary: A very competitive-looking race and we need a wide spread of runners to survive this leg of the Pick 6. A BIT CHILLY was well-backed to win on local debut and obliged his supporters. He liked the Polytrck and can follow up but tackles elders. LT ALEXANDER has shown improvement of late and deserves respect. WILLIAM THE FIRST showed improvement last time out and could do even better this time. COASTAL PATH has not been showing his best of late but can contest the finish. PASHTUNWALI picked up a 5 point penalty for his last win but can follow up if in the same mood. WIND SOCK likes this track and is not out of it. GREAT TIMES is also capable of getting into the mix of things.
Selections:
#5 A Bit Chilly, #1 Lt Alexander, #2 William The First, #3 Pashtunwali
Race 5
Race Summary: LADY ZULTANITE has made good improvement at this centre having already won twice this year. Jockey Sandile Khathi was aboard for both those wins and she can score again over a course and distance that clearly suits her. OUTER DIMENSION has been disappointing of late but could like this longer distance. STATE OF MIND is in good shape and should fight out the finish. SPIRIT PRINCESS has been a disappointment for trainer Gavin Smith and is returning from a break but could be a threat. MILLENNIUM DANCER is improving and won well last time out so deserves some respect.
Selections:
#4 Lady Zultanite, #5 Spirit Princess, #1 Outer Dimension, #2 State Of Mind
Race 6
Race Summary: CAN'T SAY NO had a tricky draw last time out and was well beaten in a strong field so could bounce back and score from a much better draw this time. TURNTHEBEATAROUND showed improvement earlier this season but is returning from a break and could need this run. ARABIAN RED is clearly unreliable and was a disappointment last time out but does have Richard Fourie in the irons and deserves respect. HUGSANDHIGHFIVES ran well on local debut and could have more to offer. SUCHALIFE tries a handicap for the first time and could improve.
Selections:
#1 Can'T Say No, #7 Suchalife, #6 Hugsandhighfives, #4 Arabian Red
Race 7
Race Summary: A tricky race, but trainer Gavin Smith has a decent hand. LEDELL'S ECHO is very speedy and is in good form so gets the vote to score. Stable companion PARIS LASS loves this course and distance but is giving weight away to her rivals. SLIM JANNIE and TUSCAN GOLD are proven Polytrack performers who are contenders for Smith. EVIES FIRST has the ability and would not be a surprise winner of this race. COOL WINTER is one of a couple of Alan Greeff-trained runners and has stable jockey Richard Fourie riding, so could be the best of his runners.
Selections:
#6 Ledell's Echo, #4 Evies First, #5 Teatro, #1 Paris Lass
Race 8
Race Summary: Another tricky last race. DAWN OF GOLD may have gone too early last time out and could benefit from a patient ride this time. It is a very open race and we will need to go very wide in the exotics. ALLENDE is unreliable but can contest the finish. ELLA'S DELIGHT is speedy and could be dangerous. DEMIGOD is well-drawn and capable of a strong finish. BYTHELITEOFTHEMOON likes the Polytrack and can contest the finish. ANGELSEA and COLORAMA are both in good form and capable of running well again.
Selections:
#12 Dawn Of Gold, #9 Bytheliteofthemoon, #4 Confetti, #5 Ella's Delight
Best Win: #4 LADY ZULTANITE
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #12 DAWN OF GOLD
