Race 1
7# My Friend Lee: Has been a runner up in her last two starts, and can go close from a good draw with a top jockey up.
8# Elusive Strike: Elusive Fort - Strike Elli by Strike Smartly. (First Timer)
10# Timeless Moments: Warm White Night - Hyde Park Girl by Fort Wood. (First Timer)
14# Ou Ryperd: Sail From Seattle - Ballad For Annie by Rakeen. (First Timer)
Race 2
#6 Penultimate: Won very impressively on debut, this well bred individual should be capable of following up.
#3 Le Clos: Was a runner up last time out, he is in good nick at the moment, and is a lively contender in this novice plate.
1# The Stone Thrower: Returns to racing on the highveld after running reasonably well on the poly in Durban, he should be involved in the finish if he has travelled well.
5# Aggressive: Won a good race on debut, he returns from a lengthy break of 114 days, but should be competitive if he is fit and ready.
Race 3
1# Air Force Legend: Was in terrific form before the break, he has been off for 84 days, but should not need the run, as this distance suits him down to the bone. He will go close with a top jockey in the irons.
#5 Ramaas: Will be a huge threat to the top selection, if he has travelled well and takes to racing on the highveld.
4# Sky Night: Improved smartly at the second time of asking, he can make his presence felt if he sees out the extra furlong.
2# Together Forever: Is holding his form very nicely, and should once again be in the mix.
Race 4
3# Lady Of The World: Dissapointed last time out, she has been rested for 70 days since then, and will have a big say in the finish of this race if she is fit and ready.
1# Lily Love: Has been in moderate form as of late, but she does prefer five furlongs by the looks of things, and should go much better here.
5# Burgundy Rose: Produced a smart run in her latest performance, and has a chance if she is holds her form.
11# Mirano: Ran well on debut, she has been put away for 94 days, and can stake a claim to this race if she is ready to race.
Race 5
#7 Tiger's Legacy: Was a runner up last time out, and can go one better here under the legendary Striker Strydom.
#8 Buster Posy: Ran a fair race in his latest performance, he seems to be enjoying having weight off his back, he will be a lively contender if he reproduces his best form.
2# Ronin Warrior: Dissapointed in his last start, but he is a quality individual who is capable of bouncing back here.
3# Inspector Casey: Has been in moderate form as of late, he is much better than what has shown recently, and cannot be left out of the equation.
Race 6
2# Angel's Power: Was a runner up in a feature last time out, and will go close here.
2# Dennis The Menace: Had to settle for second in his last start, he will once again be very competitive.
9# Vulcan: Has been a runner up in his last two outings, and should be involved in the finish.
4# Morpheus: Has been in moderate form as of late, but must be inculded in this scenario.
Race 7
#7 Sail For Joy: Is the horse to beat at the weights, he was a runner up last time out in a novice plate, and looks to be an extremely progressive sort.
4# Gold Status: Was a runner up in his most recent race, and will give the top selection the most to think about.
13# Duty Dance: Ran a fair race in his last start, and should be a factor in this contest.
10# Silver Kavalier: Won a good race in his latest performance, and should be competitive despite stepping up in class.
Race 8
4# Red Pomegranate: Broke her maiden at just the second time of asking, she is a well bred individual with plenty of class.
9# Gold Shades: Won a good race last time out, and should once again be very competitive.
16# Tangerine Lady: Was a runner up in her latest performance, and should be involved in the finish.
#5 Bezgal: Played second fiddle in her last start, and must be included in all quartets.
Best Bets: My Friend Lee, Penultimate, Angel's Power, Red Pomegranate
