Race 1
Count Kournikova returned to decent form when placed last time out after some poor efforts. She is no good thing, but expect a better effort. Pettit Aime is the best of the rest on form but nothing to write home about. Red Orbit showed glimpses of some form but again nothing spectacular in a weak event.

Race 2

On form, Civil Disobedience improved nicely from three average runs. But the winner and placed runners could come from the well bred first timers. The betting needs to be watched especially the De Kock horse.

Race 3
Rubix has been close his last two efforts and could be a runner on pure form. Mantracker is the biggest danger after three close up efforts and should be in the firing line again. Shadow Man in the same boat and he should be in the frame again.

Race 4
Highlander and Samar are closely handicapped with the preference for the former. Carries 0.5kg for the length beating but has the better draw. For third Sucha A Charmer is from the same formline. Expect a close event. Drawn wide as well.

Race 5

Rule The Night has been running in features of late without much success but the three lengths behind Barahin brings him into the race in a big way. Without much vaunted opposition, he could have the race to his liking. The biggest danger is Moon Warrior who was placed in a juvenile event late last season and could place here again. Topmast was tested at the top level as well and could find a home racing in this company.

Race 6
An Air Of Success could be right there again after two runner up efforts to date. Not striding out last time. Expect more. Illegal is the top weight and is progressive. The run to Kissable is eye catching. One to watch. Freely Forever has been running against stronger but has jumped up the ratings after winning penultimate.

Race 7
Nice race with vote going to Cloud Break who has been close in juvenile company and not far off better types. All Of Me has raced in feature company and this could be a nice race for a place chance. ELBI won with something is hand last time. Place.

Race 8
Open event with Elegencia favoured to beat Tortola again as in the case as their last effort. For third Silvez for the new stable may be the pick.
