Race 1
Race Summary: ALL ABOUT LOVE showed good improvement with blinkers fitted last time out. She can go one better if repeating that performance on the Polytrack this time. JOVIAL tries the Polytrack after a change of trainer and can be a threat. DAWN CLOUD has lost the way of late but is capable of earning some money. SON OF ERUPT is holding form and should fight out the finish yet again. CAPE FLOWER is holding form and has a place chance. Watch the betting on the newcomers AWAY WITH RED and HAPHAZARD.
Selections:
#5 All About Love, #6 Son Of Erupt, #10 Cape Flower, #11 Haphazard
Race 2
Race Summary: A very competitive race. QUEEN OFTHE PALACE cracked No 1 draw and could get the run of the race. Stable companion OPERA VERSE seems better than the last run and could be ready to strike. RUBY CLAIRE is unreliable but is also a lot better than her last run would suggest. GOTCHA BUZZ has a place chance. PONTE VECCHIO has run well on this surface and could earn some more money. ROYAL VENUS and SHOUT AT THE MOON are two others capable of getting involved with the finish.
Selections:
#6 Opera Verse, #5 Queen Ofthe Palace, #7 Royal Venus, #2 Fantasy Girl
Race 3
Race Summary: GLOBAL SCENE is knocking loudly at the door with two recent runner-up performances and can go one better this time. BEIJING BOULEVARD and stable companion SIERRA SKY have both shown improvement of late and are capable of contesting the finish once again. MAXIGIRL has performed best on this surface and has a place chance. KAROO BOKKIE showed improvement on the turf last time out but could have more to offer. VOORSMAAKIE, TAKE YOUR TIME and PEARLY ASH are all capable of improvement.
Selections:
#5 Global Scene, #7 Karoo Bokkie, #6 Maxigirl, #8 Voorsmaakie
Race 4
Race Summary: A tough opening leg of the Pick 6 and it may pay to go very wide. UNION ROSE is better than his last run would suggest. EL ROMIACHI has run in better fields and would not be a surprise winner. PATH OF CHOICE has been unreliable of late but is capable of winning a race like this. BRYDEN BAY will enjoy being back on the Polytrack. KING'S SAILOR and MALDANO also deserve to be included in all permutations.
Selections:
#4 Union Rose, #7 Maldano, #1 El Romiachi, #3 Bryden Bay
Race 5
Race Summary: DOWNING SEVEN is a bit of a hit-and-miss fellow but he did look good when scoring in his penultimate start. That was on this surface so perhaps his last turf run is best ignored. SYX HOTFIX drops in class and could be a threat. SPIN DOCTOR has been in good form of late and has a winning chance. CENTRAL CITY usually runs well on the Polytrack and deserves respect. JUAN CARLOS has been very good of late but probably prefers the turf these days. PAINITE likes this track and could contest the finish once again.
Selections:
#6 Downing Seven, #7 Painite, #3 Central City, #5 Juan Carlos
Race 6
Race Summary: GOLDEN LINK showed what he is capable of with a good last win and that form has held up nicely. This is a tougher race but he can follow up if in the same mood. INHERIT THE RAIN has been best on this surface and should contest the finish. LAGUNA VERDE has talent and could surprise after a change of trainer and surface. SLINGS AND ARROWS was not disgraced last time and is not out of it. NARCOS, MAKHACHEV and PEMBROKE are also capable of earning some money on a good day.
Selections:
#6 Golden Link, #1 Inherit The Rain, #4 Funky Music, #5 Slings And Arrows
Race 7
Race Summary: Another very hard leg of the Pick 6. COOL WINTER usually runs well on this surface but is badly drawn. USA'S HOPE makes his local debut and could win from a good draw. EXECUTOR is in good form and seems to be improving so deserves respect. SILVONIAN is clearly better than his last run would suggest and has a winning chance. WHATEVER NEXT is long overdue a surprise win. BETHEL, EUROPEAN SUMMER, ELLA'S DELIGHT and FREDERICOS PASSION are all capable of running well too.
Selections:
#2 Cool Winter, #3 Usa's Hope, #4 Executor, #9 Ella's Delight
Race 8
Race Summary: Trainer Gavin Smith seems to have found the winning formula with JAMBO SANA and she has won two of her last three starts. She is not well drawn and carries a 7-point penalty for her last win but can score again under jockey Craig Zackey. Stable companion KOMESANS PASSION is well drawn and should be the biggest threat. She is holding form well and is overdue a winning turn. HAVANA GREY showed improvement last time out and could do even better this time. BOSNAY was a surprise winner last time out and takes on her own sex this time so must be respected. FLOWER FESTIVAL is in good form and is another to consider.
Selections:
#7 Jambo Sana, #8 Komesans Passion, #4 Flower Festival, #5 La Pequenita
Race 9
Race Summary: Trainer Gavin Smith has a strong hand in this race. JADE'S CABERNEIGH is course and distance suited and capable of bouncing back to score. IQEMBULABESIFAZANE continues to hold her form and is very competitive over this particular course and distance. FANNY KEMBLE is better than her last run would suggest and has a place chance. AUDACIOUS was an easy maiden winner last time out and could have more to offer. SI GIOCA likes the Polytrack and could contest the finish. LADY CRUSADE and WHITE HILLS are capable of an upset if finding their best form.
Selections:
#3 Jade's Caberneigh, #2 Iqembulabesifazane, #9 Si Gioca, #1 Fanny Kemble
Best Win: #5 GLOBAL SCENE
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #6 DOWNING SEVEN
