RACE 2

QUID RIDES ran on too late on debut last time. ORCHESTRATED was beaten on the line last time. Looked the winner. SUZIE'S ARROW has had two fair runs. Should improve. TAKE A HIKE showed big improvement in his second run last time. TRAJAN has weakened in all of his nine runs. May improve to place.

RACE 3 

ONE SEXY LADY did show a glimmer of hope when running on late last time. AFRICAN GOSHAWK has steady form and ran a decent race on the sand last time. SET IN STONE disappointed on turf last time. Consider back on sand. BUDDY'S FALCON has improved in her last two. BLAZING SADDLE has had two moderate turf runs. May improve on sand.

RACE 4 

COCKADE has had two good runs, one on turf and one on sand. Looks to be better on sand. Will be running on. LIMBO has fair form. The blinkers come off. TIERIP may be improving. LA TASCA last ran in March. Disappointed that day. WALKABOUT runs on sand for the first time. Penultimate start was his best thus far.

1st – COCKADE (11/20 F) (5); 2nd – LIMBO (1); 3rd – TIERIP (11); 4th - LA TASCA (6); 5th – WALKABOUT (10)

RACE 5 

PENITENT PIRATE disappointed last time. Is fast and could hold on. Ignore the latest run of THE RED TZAR. That was his only run on turf. Good sand form. SPACEWAY may improve on sand for the first time. More to find though. EDGE THE ECHO did not show on Saturday at Turffontein. BARON OF DUBROVNIK showed on debut three runs back but has shown nothing since that run.

RACE 6

TAIWAN TREASURE ran on very well for second last time. First time on sand. ICY AVALANCHE has been close up in all three runs but weakens late. MARSDEN has improved nicely last two. Ran on last time. DIJLATRIP made a fair debut last time. Will improve. One to watch! OCEAN'S BLITZ is inconsistent. Can place if at best.

1st – TAIWAN TREASURE (22/10) (4); 2nd – ICY AVALANCHE (11/10 F) (3); 3rd – MARSDEN (1); 4th - DIJLATRIP (7); 5th – OCEAN'S BLITZ (6)

RACE 7 

WONT WAIT has moved up nicely late in his last two. Can go close if repeating. DANCE CODE made a good debut on the turf last time when finishing well. Has a decent shout in this field. TRIPSWITCH was not striding out last time. Ignore that run. Fair runs prior to that. COWBOY had fair KZN form before trying Kimberley last time. Must be worth a shout. PRINCIPAL DANZER has yet to show.

1st – WONT WAIT (3/1) (4); 2nd – DANCE CODE (9); 3rd – TRIPSWITCH (5/2 JF) (3); 4th - COWBOY (5/2 JF) (1); 5th – PRINCIPAL DANZER (10)

RACE 8 

CHADDERTON looks to have a very good chance on current form but this will be her twenty first run. SHIRLA has been running on. Runs well this C & D. DIVA DANNY was moderate on debut but yard in good form. DELUX ARROW showed good improvement last time but still weakened. LIGHTNING LILY may improve with blinkers but the may have to be special blinkers at that!
