PREVIEW: CLAIRWOOD - 16 APRIL 2014

SHIVRANI did enough last time to suggest that she could win at the fourth attempt this afternoon. FLYING CROSS made a fair debut last time. May be better this afternoon. PRIVATE NUMBER ran her best race in four last time. ACCESSORIZE makes her debut. Could be anything. CAPE JEWEL also ran her best race in four when running on.

1st – SHIVRANI (15/20 F) (7); 2nd – FLYING CROSS (5); 3rd – PRIVATE NUMBER (6); 4th - ACCESSORIZE (1); 5th – CAPE JEWEL (2)

ASPEN has had two good Cape Town runs. Makes his KZN debut. Should be the one to beat. ENAAD made a fair debut last time. Expect improvement. HE ROCKS has had two fair runs. Could run into the money. SEVEN CARAT has improved in his last three runs. THUNDER QUEEN has been improving in each of her three runs. Takes on the "boys".

1st – ASPEN (1/1 F) (1); 2nd – ENAAD (4); 3rd – HE ROCKS (5); 4th - SEVEN CARAT (9); 5th – THUNDER QUEEN (10)

JOLIE KITTEN has in-and-out form. In her last run she stayed on well. Good value. UNTIL WE DANCE runs for the thirtieth time as a maiden. Could be improving again! GRAND APPROACH ran on well over shorter last time. Best run in eight. TENDERWOOD did not go on with it over slightly shorter last time. Consider on some improvement shown. AT MIDNIGHT is current ante post favourite. Has shown some improvement.

1st – JOLIE KITTEN (10/1) (2); 2nd – UNTIL WE DANCE (6); 3rd – GRAND APPROACH (3); 4th - TENDERWOOD (5); 5th – AT MIDNIGHT (5/2 F) (4)

LEBEOANA did run on over shorter in his last two. Could be a dark horse. KING'S LEGACY is in good form and has placed second or third in three of his five starts. NATTERJACK may be losing form but has run a few decent races of late. ROYAL KEEPER should improve on a nice debut last time despite being slow away. JACK FRIDAY ran hsi best race in twelve last time. May place.

1st – LEBEOANA (833/100) (2); 2nd – KING'S LEGACY (1); 3rd – NATTERJACK (7); 4th - ROYAL KEEPER (17/20 F) (13); 5th – JACK FRIDAY (5)

SOLO RUSH will be hard to beat if repeating his latest very good effort, his best effort in eight runs. CHILLINGHAM has improved with each run since making his debut three runs back. Stayed on last time. YESAN STAR should go close on his last two very good efforts. Stayed on well last time. HOUSECARL is never far back and stayed on well last time. VOLCANIC ROCK could be improving again.

1st – SOLO RUSH (357/100) (1); 2nd – CHILLINGHAM (9/4 F) (4); 3rd – YESAN STAR (3); 4th -HOUSECARL (6); 5th – VOLCANIC ROCK (8)

TARGET FIVE ran below par last time but on her day has the ability to win a race such as this. Happy racing at this track. SUCH FUN is holding form well and will be running on. PROFESSOR X drops in class and is well suited to this C & D. Weakens. SPARKLING WOOD disappointed last time. Chance on previous form. Rises in class. MODERN ROYAL improved on a moderate penultimate last time.

1st – TARGET FIVE (37/10 F) (4); 2nd – SUCH FUN (14); 3rd – PROFESSOR X (1); 4th - SPARKLING WOOD (6); 5th – MODERN ROYAL (5)

OREO SHAKE has good Cape Town form. Watch for a powerful finish. Anthony Delpech rides for Justin Snaith. Will be tuned for this distance. RED TRACTOR drops in class and  was a trifle unlucky in his latest start. These two should fight out the finish. Could be the race of the day! ACAPULCO has good post maiden form and did good work late last time. Rises in class. OCTOBER ELEVENTH did not show on Saturday. Has better form than that. SHOES 'N COMPANY does drop in class. Chance on current form.

1st – OREO SHAKE (5/2 F) (4); 2nd – RED TRACTOR (1); 3rd – ACAPULCO (6); 4th - OCTOBER ELEVENTH (5); 5th – SHOES 'N COMPANY (2)

SWELL PARTY has good form but weakens late. Down in class. Has shown enough to make her a decent bet. IMPERIAL FABERGE has very good form and she also drops in class. PREAMBLE has been hanging in the latter stages. Chance on penultimate start. CAPE SUGARBIRD has been rested for three months. Las two runs in Cape Town were good. Chance in this field. GUEST EL GRANDE is in good form and is never too far back. Needs a more sustained finish.

1st – SWELL PARTY (37/10) (4); 2nd – IMPERIAL FABERGE (2/1 F) (6); 3rd – PREAMBLE (1); 4th - CAPE SUGARBIRD (2); 5th – GUEST EL GRANDE (5)
