Race 1
Race Summary: BRIGHAM has not been beaten far in some of his recent races. He tries the Polytrack after a change of trainer and can win. PROLIFIC STAR is not an easy ride but should be right there at the finish after a good recent run on this surface. GLOBAL DRUMBEAT lacks a strong finish but can earn some more money. SEMPRE BELLA has shown a liking for this surface and can contest the finish. PICK A POMODORO is also capable of contesting the finish.
Selections:
#1 Brigham, #2 Prolific Star, #7 Pick A Pomodoro, #3 Global Drumbeat
Race 2
Race Summary: PIBE DE ORO got close to winning on local debut. He did not repeat that performance last time out but should make a bold bid at beating these rivals. CLIFFIE CLAVIN has shown improvement and should be challenging for top honours this time around. STAND UP has improved of late and can fight it out again. GREY WARRIOR is capable of improvement. EXPLOSIVE GIFT makes a local debut trying the Polytrack and would not be a surprise winner. Keep an eye on the betting of newcomer GLIMMER OF LIGHT.
Selections:
#1 Pibe De Oro, #4 Stand Up, #3 Cliffie Clavin, #8 Explosive Gift
Race 3
Race Summary: BUDDLEJA looked an unlucky loser last time out and could go one better taking on her elders this time. DESERT CLOUD was consistent without winning in Gauteng. She tries the Polytrack for the first time but can fight out the finish. MIDNIGHT MUSIC has shown a liking for this surface and should be right there once again. Those three do seem better than the rest. PHYSIOLOGUS, PENNY'S WORLD, SECRET CHOICE and BAABOOO are all capable of improvement.
Selections:
#6 Buddleja, #1 Desert Cloud, #2 Midnight Music, #3 Physiologus
Race 4
Race Summary: A very interesting race. LARIUS LACUS was very impressive when scoring on local debut. He takes a big step up in class but may well be up to it. INDEBE MAYIBUYE is in very good form but does have to give that rival 10kg. KINGS AGAIN makes his local debut and could like the Polytrack. BETHEL has been a disappointment of late but could earn some minor money. SWISS WALT has improved of late and was an easy winner last time out.
Selections:
#8 Larius Lacus, #5 Swiss Walt, #1 Indebe Mayibuye, #3 Bethel
Race 5
Race Summary: A competitive leg of the Pick 6 and it could pay to go very wide in this leg. ARTICUNO suffered interference when looking a threat last time out and could make amends. WHERE'S THE PARTY drops in class and could be a lively danger. LE PREMIERE and stable companion PROJECT RUNWAY are both capable of improvement and could suprise. BONJOUR LA VILLE was full of running last time out and could have more wins in the tank. ENCHANTING LADY is better than her last run would suggest. HER ROYALTY could earn some minor money.
Selections:
#3 Articuno, #7 Bonjour La Ville, #9 Enchanting Lady, #1 Bomber Girl
Race 6
Race Summary: Another very competitive handicap. MR BELVEDERE is clearly better than he has shown of late and might surprise this course and distance. CONCERTO has to give weight away to all her rivals but can earn some money. KINGDOM OF HEAVEN showed vast improvement last time out and has a place chance. A BIT CHILLY is not reliable but is capable of winning. THUNDER MASTER is at his best around this track and trip and has a winning chance. TOWER OF LONDON and ARIVIDICIO are also in good form and capable of winning.
Selections:
#8 Mr Belvedere, #7 Thunder Master, #11 Arividicio, #1 Concerto
Race 7
Race Summary: PAS DE NOM likes the Polytrack. He was seen to be making good late progress on local debut and can win a race like this. MASTER FORESTER has run in better races than this and would not be a surprise winner. DOWSER is in good form and can contest the finish yet again. WAZ WOUTER has won his last two races and is a dangerous frontrunner. BOSNAY and FLOWER FESTIVAL have place chances. VIHAAN'S QUEEN is capable of improvement.
Selections:
#2 Pas De Nom, #4 Dowser, #1 Master Forester, #5 Waz Wouter
Race 8
Race Summary: A very open race. WORDSWORTH is holding form well and represents a trainer in very good form. TOKYO MEDAGLIA makes his local debut and it could be a winning one. GUARDING THE WALL and LUCKY SPIRIT are not reliable but are a threat over this track and distance. NOTORIX and RAVILIOUS both lack a strong finish but can earn some money. GREEN ISLE makes her local debut and could improve trying the Polytrack. SUPREME JUDGE and KING RAHUL are both in good form and are not out of it.
Selections:
#3 Wordsworth, #4 Guarding The Wall, #5 Lucky Spirit, #12 King Rahul
Best Win: #1 PIBE DE ORO
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #8 MR BELVEDERE
