Race 1
Race Summary: Only 7 runners go to the post, 5 of them unraced, with Snaith Racing sending out 4 of them. Well-bred Gimmethegreenlight filly SWEET GREEN catches the eye on debut. Former champion jockey Keagan de Melo is carded to ride her. Trainer Glen Kotzen also has a decent hand as his Malmoos colt, OMKHULU BOSS, should also be ready to run a very big race on debut. Stable companion CATWALK KING was not disgraced on debut and can use that experience. Watch the betting on newcomers VERCICAT, LE CONCIERGE and RABDAN.
Selections:
#3 Sweet Green, #4 Omkhulu Boss, #6 Catwalk King, #1 Vercicat
Race 2
Race Summary: Australian-bred colt LOVING PRAGUE has run well in both starts and should prove hard to beat this time around. THE MUFFIN MAN and I AM SAM are nicely bred and could run well on debut. EUGENIUS has struggled twice in a row but could earn some money. RED WAVE is consistent and can contest the finish. FAST TRAIN was badly drawn last time and should do better this distance so must be respected. Watch the betting on newcomer TREETOPS.
Selections:
#5 Loving Prague, #7 Red Wave, #3 I Am Sam, #11 Fast Train
Race 3
Race Summary: GIVE IT LALDY was backed to win on debut and only found one better on the day. He could prove the right one this time. FORT YUKON showed improvement in his second start and was unlucky that time and should contest the finish again. VOLEGOV may be looking for further but is improving and can make the frame again. PRETTY BOY needed his debut and is sure to improve. SUGAR DADDY was not disgraced on debut and could go close to winning. Watch the betting on the newcomer HE'S A SMASHER.
Selections:
#3 Give It Laldy, #10 Sugar Daddy, #1 Fort Yukon, #5 Volegov
Race 4
Race Summary: The combination of trainer Justin Snaith and jockey Keagan de Melo can go close to winning this race as well. NOTE TO SELF ran well in what looked a good field and he may well prove better than these rivals despite a poor draw. Stable companion MIAMI SUMMER is improving and should be a threat from a good draw. CAPTAINS ALLIANCE seems better than his modest last run. BATON ROUGE and TWO A PENNY are consistent and not out of it. HEAL AND SOUL is better than his last run and has a place chance.
Selections:
#9 Note To Self, #2 Miami Summer, #6 Heal And Soul, #4 Baton Rouge
Race 5
Race Summary: An interesting race. AHEAD OF THE FACTS returned to form with a good win last time out and can follow up but it is a competitive race. HOLDING THUMBS has been very consistent in better races than this and would not be a surprise winner. CONGRESSMAN is very consistent and should benefit from having Muzi Yeni in the irons. TRIPLE TIME is on a long losing run but is capable of earning some money. HOME REEF has made vast improvement this year and the Easten Cape raider could be a threat. UMFULA has beaten AHEAD OF THE FACTS and could contest the finish.
Selections:
#4 Ahead Of The Facts, #1 Holding Thumbs, #2 Congressman, #3 Blackberry Malt
Race 6
Race Summary: A big field and a decent race. GREEN DIAMOND is very talented but is returning from a break and this is not her main mission but she can still win. DIRECT HIT has won all 5 of her starts and is a serious challenger to these rivals. ASIYE PHAMBILI has ability and is clearly not out of it on her best form. DISTING was a well backed winner of her latest run but this does look a tougher task. SHE'S MY WORLD and SYMPHONY IN WHITE are better than they showed last time and could earn some money. MISS WORLD is consistent and could play a minor role.
Selections:
#12 Green Diamond, #1 Direct Hit, #8 She's My World, #9 Miss World
Race 7
Race Summary: The highlight of this card. The World Sports Betting Cape Fillies Guineas. REET PETITE is unbeaten in three starts and Richard Fourie is aboard. This is her toughest task but she can do it. PRINCESS OF GAUL has a number of these rivals behind her when returning to form with a solid victory and she should beat those particular runners again. Eastern Cape raider GOLDEN PALM is on a 5 wins in a row streak and they were impressive wins, but she does try a different turn this time around and it did capsize her very good stable companion Anotherdanceforme.
Selections:
#8 Reet Petite, #7 Golden Palm, #3 Princess Of Gaul, #5 Lowveld Lily
Race 8
Race Summary: TOUCHED BY ANGELS has not done much wrong in his three starts and from a good draw he should go close to winning. FLYING FINLEY is better than he showed last time out and has a place chance. MEXICAN PETE has some fair recent form and has a place chance. DELTA PRIDE is threatening to win and deserves the utmost respect. NEVADA KING showed improvement last time out and could be improving. OBJET D' ART was an easy maiden winner and could earn some more money.
Selections:
#1 Touched By Angels, #5 Delta Pride, #8 Nevada King, #9 Objet D' Art
Race 9
Race Summary: BEACH VERSE impressed when an easy winner last time out. That was the first time she wore blinkers and she quickened up nicely. She is not well drawn but can follow up if in the same mood. SUPREME FATE is well drawn and can contest the finish. INNERBLOOM was an easy maiden winner last time out and could have more to offer. MIDNIGHT LADY, LA LANDONNE and ACT OF GRACE are all in good form and would not be surprise winners. WILLIAM'S WOMAN has not been disgraced so far and could play a minor role.
Selections:
#10 Beach Verse, #7 La Landonne, #5 Kattekwaadkwadraad, #4 Englefield Green
Race 10
Race Summary: A very open last race. Eastern Cape raider SPORTS FAN found a speedy filly too fast for her last time but does seem suited to this course and distance and could run well. PINK PIGEON has shown improvement of late and can get into the finish once again. PARALEGAL and LOVE SHACK do not always show their best form but are capable of making the frame. PEACE OF MIND and DAME OF TRIX are in good form and are clearly not out of it. CLAIR DE LUNE, CATCH A PENNY and LADY LOOK ALIKE are consistent and also capable of winning.
Selections:
#1 Sports Fan, #2 Pink Pigeon, #12 Clair De Lune, #13 Catch A Penny
Best Win: #10 BEACH VERSE

Best Longshot: #1 SPORTS FAN
