Race 1
Race Summary: OLIVE OYL is clearly capable of better than her last run. She was not disgraced that day but can go one better for jockey Richard Fourie. LADY BOMBER has improved with each local start and should be a threat but is trying this surface. LAUGH TILL I CRY is better than her last run and has a place chance. OH MANDY usually runs on when the race is all but over and can contest the finish again. LANA VIEW put in a much better performance last time out and is not out of it.
Selections:
#5 Olive Oyl, #4 Lana View, #1 Lady Bomber, #3 Oh Mandy
Race 2
Race Summary: FIZZLY BUBBLY is knocking hard at the door and can win a race of this nature. BOMBER BAY is in good form and should be right there at the finish yet again. GLOBAL DRUMBEAT has improved of late and should make the frame. MONOCLE, DINERO and RED ORCHID RISING are all capable of improvement in a weak race and could earn some money.
Selections:
#1 Fizzly Bubbly, #2 Bomber Bay, #3 Global Drumbeat, #4 Monocle
Race 3
Race Summary: OUTBACK EXPRESS put in a career-best performance last time out. That was on this surface and he can go one better. PROLIFIC STAR is threatening to win a race and must be respected for that. SEMPRE BELLA has run some fair races on this surface and can challenge for top honours. WELSH STARLET has some fair recent form and has a place chance. CHEAP THRILLS has improved of late and would not be a surprise winner.
Selections:
#3 Outback Express, #1 Prolific Star, #2 Sempre Bella, #7 Cheap Thrills
Race 4
Race Summary: A very interesting race. ZATARA MAGIC has impressed in his last two wins on this surface and will run to a high level of form so is the one to beat. GOLDEN PEACE has made good progress since joining trainer Alan Greeff and has some good wins on the turf. He tries this surface at this track for the first time. BINGWA was a good winner when last seen on the Polytrack. FIREALLEY, GLOBAL ALLY and ROLL THE DICE are all capable of earning some minor money.
Selections:
#4 Zatara Magic, #2 Golden Peace, #1 Bingwa, #3 Firealley
Race 5
Race Summary: A very open race. GREEN ISLE impressed on local debut and could have more wins in her tank. STATE SECRET is in good form but does give weight away to all her rivals. UMZOLOZOLO is unbeaten in two starts for trainer Cliffie Miller. GOT THE FEVER is not reliable but is not out of it. THREE CHEERS is in good form and can get involved with the finish. TWILIGHT BAY was a very easy maiden winner and could be better than rated.
Selections:
#8 Green Isle, #3 Umzolozolo, #6 Three Cheers, #1 State Secret
Race 6
Race Summary: MISS SHAIVI found the 1400m too far last time out and could be a big threat this track and trip. PANTHERA UNCIA makes her local debut and should improve. SWEET JULIA is better than her last run would suggest and can score over this course and distance. JUST ONE KISS showed improvement to win her second start. PITON DE NEIGE has improved of late and is another to consider.
Selections:
#1 Miss Shaivi, #9 Full Of Magic, #2 Panthera Uncia, #4 Sweet Julia
Race 7
Race Summary: Another very open looking race. BEECHAMWOOD BOY has improved for trainer Alan Greeff and could get a deserved victory. HAIR TRIGGER makes his local debut and could surprise. SWISS WALT has been much improved of late and should be right there at the finish. THUNDER MASTER would prefer a longer distance but is not out of it. RAVILIOUS and SUPREME JUDGE are also capable of winning a race like this.
Selections:
#2 Beechamwood Boy, #4 Swiss Walt, #9 Supreme Judge, #7 Thunder Master
Race 8
Race Summary: COASTAL PATH is not well drawn but really ought to be winning a race like this. JAMBO SANA and BLUE PALACE are both coming off wins on this surface and could be threats. STRANGE MAGIC has improved of late and is clearly not out of it. POTENT CAPTAIN and HER ROYALTY can also have a say in the finish.
Selections:
#1 Coastal Path, #5 Strange Magic, #4 Blue Palace, #3 Jambo Sana
Best Win: #5 OLIVE OYL
Best Value Bet:
Best Longshot: #3 OUTBACK EXPRESS
