Race 1
1-4-3-6

1# Uposeupay: Was narrowly dined victory in his latest performance, he will go very close again if he reproduces that run. The course and distance will be to his liking, and he should be running strongly on at the finish. Expect a bold effort from him, under top work rider Charles Ndlovu.

4# Charleston Hero: Ran fourth in a handicap last time out, and is capable of making improvement in this weak maiden event.

3# Rownak: Is a nicely bred individual, being by Silvano out of a Galileo mare, he will have no issues with the distance with a pedigree like that, and he should produce a decent enough run on debut.

6# Hammies Tin: Can make some improvement, under a competent work rider, and must be included in all quartets.

Race 2
4-1-8-7

4# Sweet Lady Jade: Can make a winning debut, in this weak maiden event. She has a beautiful pedigree, being by Querari out of a Western Winter mare, she could possibly go further once she matures, but should be more than capable of producing the goods in this sprint, under the legendary Pierre "Striker" Strydom.

1# Lebanese Tractor: Has been bitterly dissapointing in her last two racetrack performances, however she does have good prior form, and will feature here, if she reproduces it.

8# Cathedre: Is a sister to the speedy Oculus, and she should produce an honest effort on debut.

7# Direct Line: Is a daughter of Mambo In Seattle, out of a Hector Protector mare, she should show plenty of toe on debut, and must be included in the quartet.

Race 3
4-6-7-1

4# Fearless Fred: Made solid improvement second time out, and will go very close again here.

6# Penultimate: Was an expensive purchase at the 2015 CTS Ready To Run Sale, costing R700, 000, he has good breeding, being by Captain Al out of a Fort Wood mare. He should produce a smart debut.

7# Rebel Baron: Is a son of Rebel King out of a Saumarez mare, he should show plenty of speed and pace on debut, and is surely capable of finishing in the top three.

1# Rocky Borough: Has not put it all together yet, however he must be included in all quartets.

Race 4
2-4-5-3
2# Future Fantastic: Can reverse the form with Allegorical, she will go very close again under Striker Strydom.

4# Shivering Sea: Is capable over this distance, she is very consistent, and should once again be right there at the finish.

5# Movie Award: Was a winner last time out, and will be very competitive here under a low mass, she runs her heart out for this apprentice.

3# Allegorical: Emerged victorious in her latest racetrack experience, she has been penalized for that win, but should none the less produce another honest effort here.

Race 5
9-3-1-4

9# Catwalk Tease: Ran a cracker last time out, and will be very competitive here under a low mass.

3# Artemisia: Produced a nice run in her latest racetrack experience, after a below par post maiden effort. She seems to be coming along the right way, and can make further improvement here.

1# Leila's Charger: Carries top weight, but cannot be discounted here, as she is always there and there abouts.

4# Pied Piperess: May have found the 1800 a touch far in her most recent race, and can bounce back with a quartet finish.

Race 6
2-1-6-9

2# Liege: Won the Jubilee Handicap last time out, and even though he drops in trip, he will in all likely hood be too strong for this lot, under Pierre "Striker" Strydom.

1# Pivotal Pursuit: Is as honest as the day is long, and will give the top selection the most cheek, should he fluff his lines.

6# National Key: Has been in a good form lately, and should once again be right there.

9# Netflix: Was a winner in his latest racetrack experience, and must be included in all quartets, despite taking a rise in class.

Race 7
1-2-3-5

1# Hidden Agenda: Is a very classy and versatile sort, expect another top effort here under Gavin "The Master Of Disaster" Lerena.

2# Raise The Red: Was not disgraced last time out, but will be much better over this trip.

3# Revelation: Produced a fair run in his latest racetrack experience, and can improve on that here.

4# Emblem King: May be starting to understand what racing is all about, and is one to watch for the future.

Race 8
8-4-9-3
8# Sammi Moosa: Has simply gotten better with each and every run, and looks tough to beat, if making an ounce of improvement here.

4# Avatara: Ran a nice race last time out, and will feature again if she reproduces that effort.

9# The Red List: Produced a smart performance on debut, and she can make further improvement in this contest.

3# Jackie's Joy: Was dissapointing in her latest racetrack experience, but she can never be discounted, and must be included in all quartets.
