RACE 1: 1 ANCIENT EPIC   7 LEOPARD LADY   8 POPPY OF BAYEAUX   11 NAMAQUA DOVE

Preview: ANCIENT EPIC (1) has run two smart races and goes well this course. LEOPARD LADY (7) was well fancied last run but found one too good in a well-supported first timer. Has had a few chances. POPPY OF BAYEAUX (8) has finished in the money in all four starts. Drops to a shorter trip and a change of tactics is on the cards. NAMAQUA DOVE (11) goes best over this trip and is not out of it. (Andrew Harrison:  1-7-8-11)

RACE 2: 8 PROUD ASTER   3 THE BRIEF   11 FOREST PHOENIX   2 MASTER MKEEKU

Preview: Many first timers in a field with thin form so keep an eye on the betting. PROUD MASTER (8) showed up well on debut on this course and with the stable hitting form any market support must be taken seriously.  THE BRIEF (3) made a good enough debut over course and distance and experience should count. FOREST PHOENIX (11) is battling but goes well this trip and soft ground should suit. MASTER KEEKU (2) disappointed last run after a close-up third over the course at his previous outing. Must have a chance on that showing. (Andrew Harrison:  8-3-11-2)

RACE 3: 2 GERONIMO   8 NAPOLEON   14 ALL THE TIME  11 LAKE COMO

Preview: Many first timers so watch the betting. GERONIMO (2) was most disappointing last run but had shown some useful form over course and distance and can do better this time around. NAPOLEON (8) is a smartly bred first timer form a strong stable. ALL THE TIME (14) raced green when not too far back on debut and should come on from that showing. LAKE COMO (11) found some market support last run and can improve. (Andrew Harrison: 2-8-14-11).

RACE 4: 3 SHAVOUT   2 WILDLIFE SAFARI   5 A WHOLE NEW WORLD   8 TIME TAKER

Preview: MJ Odendaal looks to have all the aces in this race. SHAVOUT (3) has a big weight but looks the part in this field. He looked a winner last start before being run out of it late. WILDLIFE SAFARI (2) showed signs of returning to form last start and with only 48kg to shoulder, he could go all the way. A WHOLE NEW WORLD (5) has come good in blinkers but there should not be much between him and TIME TAKER (8) who has also come good in blinkers and goes well this course and distance. The former has a light weight. (Andrew Harrison: 3-2-5-8).

RACE 5: 6 AFRICAN SKYLINE   4 COMMAND CONTROL   9 WALTON HALL   3 THE BAYOU

Preview: AFRICAN SKYLINE (6) win well first run out of the maidens. Has improved with each outing and the step up in trip should suit. COMMAND CONTROL (4) is lightly raced but is smart on his day and should make a bold bid. WALTON HALL (9) goes very well this course and distance. Consistent and should make another bold bid. THE BAYOU (3) is always capable and back on the turf can follow up on his last success. (Andrew Harrison:  6-4-9-3)

RACE 6: 7 UMKHOMAZI   5 STAR CHOICE   1 MAIDENS PRAYER    4 CAPRICCIO

  Preview: Tricky handicap. UMKHOMAZI (7) has been taking on stronger at recent outings. Has drawn a touch wide but should have a strong chance in this field with a 4kg claimer up. STAR CHOICE (5) has gone close at her last two. She switches to the turf here but must still have a big chance. MAIDENS PRAYER (1) has been a touch disappointing but the stable has hit form of late and the switch to the turf can suit. CAPRICCIO (4) is a long-time battler for her second race but looks well weighted here as she drops in ratings. (Andrew Harrison: 7-5-1-4).

RACE 7: 4 KITTEN’S ADVENTURE   10 SAV’S STAR   9 MALVERN   7 GINGERSPATHTOGLORY

Preview: KITTEN’S ADVENTURE (4) won well second time out and that form has been franked. She should make a bold bid here with her light weight. SAV’S STAR (10) has been tumbling down the ratings but showed signs of life when close-up last time out. She looks a big threat. MALVERN (9) has been rested and makes his local debut for a new stable but goes well this trip and is one to watch in the market. GINGERSPATHTOGLORY (7) enjoyed the return to turf last run and can finish in the money again. (Andrew Harrison:  4-10-9-7)

RACE 8: 10 CAMORA   4 STRAIGHT SIX   11 PURPLE AND GREEN   13 SO VAR

Preview: A difficult handicap. CAMORA (10) has taken on solid company first two out of the maidens and must have a strong chance here. STRAIGHT SIX (4) did well from a difficult draw last run but he is lightly raced and goes very well on the turf. With a 4kg claimer up he may be the one to beat.  PURPLE AND GREEN (11) returns from a lengthy break but has shown ability. The stable has found form. SO VAR (13) is an old campaigner. His best recent form has been on the ploy but not out of it here. (Andrew Harrison: 10-4-11-13)
