Race 1
Race Summary: A weak race where DRIELANDENPUNT should be a bit better than these rivals. He showed improvement last time out, which was over this course and distance. CAPTAIN'S DYNASTY has not shown much so far but can improve trying this surface. MOUNT KENNEDY struggled in his second start. He did better on debut and could earn some money. BLACK PLATINA is a long-time maiden but is in good form and should fight out the finish. MAGIC HAT TRICK has done better on the grass but can earn some money.
Selections:
#1 Drielandenpunt, #6 Black Platina, #7 Magic Hat Trick, #4 Mount Kennedy
Race 2
Race Summary: A modest race where it would not surprise to see a newcomer win. Trainer Dean Kannemeyer has won many races with first-timers, and he could do so again with SPIRIT OF SHIMLA, a Vercingetorix filly. Trainer Tony Rivalland is represented by a Gimmethgreenlight filly called AREYOUREADY who may well be ready. TIME IN PARIS is moderate but has improved of late so is not out of it. QUEEN FENN showed improvement last time out and can go one better. CARTEL QUEEN, PINK LACE, COSMIC ORBIT and LEVITATOR are all capable of improvement.
Selections:
#8 Spirit Of Shimla, #7 Areyouready, #4 Queen Fenn, #5 Cartel Queen
Race 3
Race Summary: XIPHOS has been runner-up in all three starts since wearing blinkers and deserves to have a winning turn. ROY'S BLOSSOM showed promise on debut. She was a big price that day and will need to confirm that performance. GORGEOUS BOMB has a place chance in this line-up. DI ROSA is better than her last run and can contest the finish. FINE DINING showed vast improvement last time out and could have more to offer. HIGHER LOVE is consistent and can earn.
Selections:
#5 Xiphos, #6 Di Rosa, #8 Higher Love, #7 Fine Dining
Race 4
Race Summary: An interesting race. FORTRESS OF FIRE put in an improved performance when trying this surface last time out and can go one better. PREEMPTIVE STRIKE has a place chance on best form. BEAMONESQUE has struck form and is coming off a good win so must be respected. MAGIC SURPRISE and BANK STREET are both consistent and capable of getting into the mix. PINETTI shows talent and is not out of it. UNITED NATION is unbeaten in three starts on the Polytrack and needs to be included in all bets.
Selections:
#10 Fortress Of Fire, #8 Pinetti, #7 Bank Street, #9 United Nation
Race 5
Race Summary: PLUM PUDDING is very consistent and was a winner when she was last seen on the Polytrack. She is the one to beat. EL REY VIENE is very consistent and was a good winner last time out on this surface. He should run well from a good draw. SHE'S A BOMBER has not been reliable of late but she is quite capable of winning a race of this nature. SYX HOTFIX and AFROPOLITAN are unreliable but are also capable of getting involved with the finish when in the right mood.
Selections:
#3 Plum Pudding, #2 She's A Bomber, #1 El Rey Viene, #7 Afropolitan
Race 6
Race Summary: A very open race with many in-form runners. MISS TWINKLE is hat-trick seeking after some solid wins and may well pull it off. ONE PATH is knocking very loudly at the door and would not be a surprise winner. SASCHA'S DREAM, SIGN OF FATE and ALANNAH are all well drawn and in good form and must be respected over this course and distance. SAFARI LODGE and LA MADDALENA are not reliable but have to be considered possible winners of the race.
Selections:
#6 Miss Twinkle, #7 One Path, #1 Sascha's Dream, #2 Sign Of Fate
Race 7
Race Summary: SPAARNE RIVIER showed good improvement to win second time out. That win was on this surface and he can follow up. BANZAI PIPELINE is usually competitive and should be involved in the finish yet again. ULTRA QUICK remains in very good form and should fight it out. TOWN CRIER and PEMBURY seem better than their most recent performances and could be a threat.
Selections:
#2 Spaarne Rivier, #3 Ultra Quick, #1 Banzai Pipeline, #5 Town Crier
Race 8
Race Summary: A very tricky last race. ISIKWISHIKWISHI was not disgraced last time out and has a very good record on this surface so could bounce back to score. KIMBALL O'HARA is consistent and clearly not out of it in this line-up. IBUTHO showed some improvement last time out and has a place chance. IMPERIAL POWER remains in good form and should contest the finish. WINTER WAVES likes the Polytrack and could be competitive. KUMEMORI showed improvement last time out and could go one better. RUN FOREST RUN is consistent and another to consider.
Selections:
#4 Isikwishikwishi, #3 Imperial Power, #1 Kimball O'Hara, #8 Run Forest Run
Best Win: #1 DRIELANDENPUNT
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #4 ISIKWISHIWSHI
