Race 1
Race Summary: Strong race to start. WARRIOR OF ROYALTY has held form well after impressing on the poly. He is back on the synthetic surface and should have every chance. ANDY COOGLE is better than his recent form and having finally drawn well could have every chance this time. MC DAZZLER won easily when dropped in distance. He meets much better but carries a very light weight. IBHELE and CAPSAICIN have some fair early form. Both have shown good pace and could be anything on the poly first time.
Selections:
#6 Warrior Of Royalty, #1 Andy Coogle, #4 Mc Dazzler, #3 Ibhele
Race 2
Race Summary: It could get close between DUKE OF AFRICA and KING BAVARIAN. The latter is knocking hard at the door and finished ahead of DUKE OF AFRICA last time but has drawn wide again. DUKE OF AFRICA's poly form looks a bit better than his turf form and he may be more of a threat. RAINWATER was unlucky not to get his head in front in the Maidens last time. He should have every chance. DOUBLE OLYMPIC has been a bit disappointing but can suddenly show from gate one.
Selections:
#3 Duke Of Africa, #7 King Bavarian, #4 Rainwater, #1 Double Olympic
Race 3
Race Summary: BEL GIOCATORE did a lot better in her last start after showing little prior. She may well confirm the improvement on the poly from the best of the draws. ARCTIC FURY has been leaving it too late despite having not been drawn badly. She too looks to have something to come and carries a light weight. SANBEENEE made dramatic improvement when tried over a bit further on the turf and if she can bring that form to the poly she could a big threat. TWILIGHT BAY found only one better last time but has a slightly wide draw and will need luck. GALE FORCE NINE has a say too.
Selections:
#1 Bel Giocatore, #4 Arctic Fury, #2 Sanbeenee, #7 Twilight Bay
Race 4
Race Summary: BRAVE BOMBER is coming along the right way. He won his maiden as he liked and could also score on handicap debut as he looks well-placed. It was good to see Poly specialist FOREST JUMP come back to form last time. With his confidence boosted he can add another win to his tally. FAIRE ADVANTAGE rates the dark horse. He came from off the pace to win on poly debut and could be on the up. WAVE WARRIOR is never far off and could be in the shake-up again. NOTABLE looks a bit better than his recent form and has earning potential.
Selections:
#1 Brave Bomber, #2 Forest Jump, #7 Faire Advantage, #6 Wave Warrior
Race 5
Race Summary: REGENERATION could be anything on the poly. She won her debut in style and has scope for good improvement but is carded to race prior. GINGER DELIGHT impressed on poly debut. She should run another good race even though up in ratings, distance and having drawn widest. ETHEREAL VIEW won in good style last time. She did have the best of the draws then but looks nicely weighted again. VOLARE E MAMBO is capable of better and a change to her headgear could do the trick. She has drawn well along with POURSOMESUGARONME who is also overdue. SAFE AND SOUND can also earn.
Selections:
#8 Ginger Delight, #4 Ethereal View, #2 Volare E Mambo, #1 Poursomesugaronme
Race 6
Race Summary: ROYAL SWAN MASTER has been getting there too late. He may get the race run to suit over the shorter distance and must rate the form choice again. IRISH LUCK could get rewarded. He has good consistent form and may be looking for the extra distance. FORCE DE DIEU is a bit better than his recent form on the Highveld. He could appreciate the switch to the poly. RODRIGUEZ is capable of better than showed recently.
Selections:
#6 Royal Swan Master, #2 Irish Luck, #1 Force De Dieu, #5 Rodriguez
Race 7
Race Summary: There wasn't much to choose between PURPLE FLOWER and DRIVE BY and this time they could fight it out for the win. The former can get back into the winner's enclosure as she prefers the distance and has drawn pole position. DRIVE BY enjoys a fast pace and is never one to ignore. OCEAN PALACE gave signs that she may be ready to give her best again. THESUPERNOVASTAR loved the conditions last time when able to go start to finish without being challenged. But she has drawn widest this time. PERFECT TRUST could pop up when least expected.
Selections:
#1 Purple Flower, #6 Drive By, #3 Ocean Palace, #7 Thesupernovastar
Race 8
Race Summary: SOVEREIGN COMMAND has been gelded. He showed some potential earlier and needs to be respected from a decent gate. MO KING has drawn gate one and must be considered on his earlier run over the course and distance. He may be finding 1000m a bit short these days. CATAVAR is holding form and with a light weight could much improve on his previous poly performances. AMOR FATI showed in no uncertain terms that he didn't enjoy going further last time. He could bounce back to best.
Selections:
#3 Sovereign Command, #5 Catavar, #8 Amor Fati, #1 Mo King
Best Win: #6 ROYAL SWAN MASTER
Best Value Bet: #3 SOVEREIGN COMMAND
Best Longshot: #3 SOVEREIGN COMMAND
