RACE 1: 3 KINGSMEADS KRYSTL   10 SEA OF TRANQUILITY   2 WINTER JOURNEY   6 FEARLESS KITTY

Preview: KINGSMEADS KRYSTL (3) contested two features last season. Her last run is best ignored and should go well if judged on her earlier form. SEA OF TRANQUILITY (10) has come to hand of late. The blinkers come off and she rates a strong chance in this line-up. WINTER JOURNEY (2) has shown some recent improvement and was a beaten favourite last run. FATEFUL MISTRESS (1) is a battling maiden but her recent form has been consistent and from a good draw can feature. FEARLESS KITTY (6) returns from a break but took on winners in her first two outings and was not too far back last run. (Andrew Harrison: 3-10-2-1-6).

RACE 2: 5 CLAUDINA   8 NOBLE NOVA   3 DUQUESNE WHISTLE   2 NATASHA ROSTOV

Preview: CLAUDINA (5) has improved with every run. Lightly raced and can make further improvement. Stable companion DUQUESNE WHISTLE (3) is long overdue. Consistent form and a 4kg claimer up should enhance her chances. NOBLE NOVA (8) has been holding form and stays the trip well. She must have a chance in this line-up, NATASHA ROSTOV (2) looks held by the first selection but is lightly raced and is up in trip for the first time. The stable is in form so cannot be written off. (Andrew Harrison: 5-3-8-2).

RACE 3: 5 SHIELD MAIDEN   4 INDOMAVEL   2 NEW ORLEANS   14 CASHEW

Preview: SHIELD MAIDEN (5) is coming along slowly and the step up in trip may be what she’s looking for. INDOMAVEL (4) may have found her last run too short. Better this trip from a good draw. NEW ORLEANS (2) has not been far back in two sprints and should enjoy the extra furlong. CASHEW (14) has a difficult draw but was narrowly beaten over course and distance last start and must have a decent chance on that showing. (Andrew Harrison: 5-4-2-14).

RACE 4: 6 NAVAL SECRET   3 MASTER TO BE   7 FROMHERETOETERNITY   13 EUPHORIC

Preview: Tricky handicap. NAVAL SECRET (6) has comes good for his new stable and had a tough draw on the poly last time out. He has pulled a better marble here. MASTER TO BE (3) has been much improved in blinkers. Tough draws for his last two and has a much better gate here. FROMHERETOETERNITY (7) comes with some smart Highveld form over the trip. Took a big jump in the handicap for her last win but looks capable of following up. EUPHORIC (13) has drawn wide and was never in the hunt from a similarly wide draw on the poly last outing. He has smart form in blinkers other than his last run and has a money chance. (Andrew Harrison: 6-3-7-13).

RACE 5: 4 KEEP THE LIGHTS ON   1 SOFIA ERIN   5 VIVID JET   6 FINDING FREEDOM

Preview: KEEP THE LIGHTS ON (4) has been rested but has some useful form in the best company. She may just need it but at best should go close. SOFIA ERIN (1) is not the easiest at the gate but is smart on her day. Will go close if she loads. VIVID JET (5) returns from a break. She is way better than her last two but may just need this outing. FINDING FREEDOM (6) contested two features before taking on maidens. Narrow winner but does looks promising. (Andrew Harrison: 4-1-5-6).

RACE 6: 3 RIVER DOON   6 ROHA   8 QUEPID   4 MARIA COROLINA

Preview: RIVER DOON (3) showed early promise. Made a promising return from a lengthy break and extra will suit. ROHA (6) has been taking on stronger on the Highveld. She was second best in a a strong line-up last start and should make a bold bid here. QUEPID (8) has some useful form in strong company. Stable has come out in force today. MARIA COROLINA (4) won well against weaker last start but although she steps up in class she is in good form and has another handy galloping weight. (Andrew Harrison: 3-6-8-4).

RACE 7: 2 ASTRIX   4 NATIVE TONGUE   10 GURU’S PRIDE   3 CALIENTE

Preview: ASTRIX (2) is the best weighted here and was a comfortable winner last time out. The blinkers seemed to have helped and from a good draw must have a strong chance. NATIVE TONGUE (4) has smart form in good company. Last win this course and distance in a feature and at best should go close. GURU’S PRIDE (10) has been off form of late but caught the eye behind Captain Fontane last start and with a 4kg claimer up must have a shout. CALIENTE (3) is seldom far back on the poly. Switches to the turf from a good draw. Should be right there. (Andrew Harrison: 2-4-10-3).

RACE 8: 9 CONSOL QUEEN   3 SILVER MARIA   1 PRINCESS ANASTASIA   10 AQUAE SULIS

Preview: CONSOL QUEEN (9) has been showing steady recent improvement. Light weight and looks primed for this. SILVER MARIA (3) is long overdue and has been costly to follow but she goes well over course and distance and must have a change of luck anytime soon. PRINCESS ANASTASIA (1) has threatened but yet to deliver but the blinkers come off and she steps up to what may be a more suitable trip. AQUAE SULIS (10) has come good of late. Switches back to what looks to be her preferred surface. (Andrew Harrison: 9-3-1-10)
