Race 1

#4 Biblical Susan: Produced a promising debut when finishing the runner up in a five furlong event in Natal. She finished strongly on that ocassion, and should relish the extra 200m in this contest. Top jockey Muzi Yeni retains the ride for trainer Mike De Kock

2nd, 3rd, 4th: #11 Rose Of Soweto, #13 Secret Star, #6 Emily Jay

Inc: 12

Race 2

#13 Thanks Again: Ran moderately on debut, however he finished just 4 lengths adrift of the winner, and should have come on leaps and bounds from that experience. Last season's champion apprentice Callan Murray retains the ride for conditioner Alec Laird.

2nd, 3rd, 4th: #3 Speed Monitor, #2 Enchanted Rock, #11 Old Guard

Inc: 4

Race 3

#16 Santa Monica: Made solid improvement at the second time of asking over 7 furlongs at this track, she finished the runner up on that ocassion and can one better here. She should have absolutely no issues with the step up to a mile, and is a serious contender in this contest despite being drawn widest of all. Promising young rider Callan Murray will be in the irons for the De Kock yard.

2nd, 3rd, 4th: #9 Delightful Dancer, #5 Gateway To Heaven, #15 Rhyme Or Reason

Race 4

#7 Baracah: Appears to have found his feet again, having won and run second in his last two outings, his versatility will stand him in good stead and he gets the services of the legendary Pierre "Striker" Strydom who will climb aboard him for the Sean Tarry stable.

2nd, 3rd, 4th: #3 Apple Crumble, #8 Arpad, #2 Let It Rain

Inc: 1,5

Race 5

#4 Pearl Valley: Had to settle for second in her most recent race, she is a very progressive sort who seems to be coming along the right way and she should handle a mile very effectively. Former champion jockey Andrew Fortune will be in saddle for trainer Erico Verdonese

2nd, 3rd, 4th: #9 Leopard Lily, #10 Catch A Thief, #12 Spurwing Summer

Inc: 1,3,5,6,11

Race 6

#5 Seven Single: Emerged victorious in his latest performance, and has strong claims of following up here. He knows how to win back to back races, and the fact that quality young jockey Callan Murray has been booked to ride him for conditioner Mike De Kock is a bonus.

2nd, 3rd, 4th: #8 Kanonkop, #3 Enbharr, #1 Netflix

Inc: 7

Race 7

#9 Miracle Bureau: Must be forgiven for a poor showing over 7 furlongs last time out, he will be a lot better over 1200m, and should be very competitive if he reproduces his penultimate effort. Jockey Muzi Yeni, who is one of the top riders around will step up for the Soma yard.

2nd, 3rd, 4th: #1 Will Pays, #6 Amazing Strike, #3 Tigers Touch

Inc: 3,5

Race 8

#1 GimmeTheMoney: Stuck to the task at hand when winning well in her last visit to the racetrack, and can make it back to back victories in this contest. The legendary Pierre "Striker" Strydom retains the ride for the Paul Peter stable.

Inc: 2,3,14
