RACE 1
(9) Genteel made a smart provincial debut so is the firm first selection to open proceedings for the day. (8) Fire Alarm finished just behind the top selection and will be the main danger. (10) Noodsberg is well bred however has been well beaten in both her starts in the Cape. She can show improvement here so is one to watch. (5) Tartan Queen is never far back in recent starts and can fill in the placings. ( Devonne Govender 9-8-10-5)
RACE 2
(2) Medlers Tart may just be short of a run but she has the class to win this contest. She has run some good races against top quality stayers in the province, with just 57.5kgs on her back she will be a serious contender. (1) Official Secret ran a smart race in her last start at massive odds, although she is very capable on her day, she has to shoulder topweight in a very competitive contest which could make things difficult. (3) Woman’s World won extremely well in her last start and another big performance can be expected. (6) Lady Writer is holding consistent form against weaker and can get into the action, include in quartets. ( Devonne Govender 2-1-3-6)
RACE 3
(3) Blue Holly has the ability to win this contest and could represent some value here. She gets Rachel Venniker up who will claim 1.5kgs which could make all the difference. (2) Happy Holly is very smart, she has solid form and can blow this field away however she may just need the run. (6) Symbol Of Love won a gutsy race in the last start and won’t be far. (7) Ellorix is holding form well and will be in the mix, she does run extremely well on turf so is a must include. ( Devonne Govender 3-2-6-7)
RACE 4
(1) Jack In The Green ran extremely well in the last start and looks to be a huge runner here especially with Richard Fourie sticking with the ride. (5) Military Man ran a cracker at big odds in the last start and a repeat performance will see him finishing in the money, not without a winning chance. (7) Lady Zultanite is a smart horse and will be there despite returning from a short break. (4) Nothingelsematters is never far back and should be included into quartets. ( Devonne Govender 1-5-7-4)
RACE 5
(5) Travel Master is holding consistent form hence he is the top selection. His last run was a cracker so he deserves huge respect. (1) Pedro shoulders topweight but is in top form and will be right there. (3) My Bestie is very capable on his day and will run a huge race, he could be good value for the placings. (7) To The Hilt is capable of a big finish and is one to watch closely, he does have a tough draw but can feature. ( Devonne Govender 5-1-3-7)
RACE 6
(1) Luna Halo ran a cracker in the last start, she is very classy and will take a power of beating. (2) Gimme’s Lassie won a gutsy race in the last start and will be the main danger to the top selection. (5) Back For More is always in the mix and can get into the quartets. (3) Golden Pacific is capable of getting involved here so is a must include in larger perms. ( Devonne Govender 1-2-5-3)
RACE 7
(1) My Best Shot is a very smart horse, he is highly rated by the yard and will be the firm first selection. (6) Play Act is holding solid form and will be there in the mix once again. (4) On My Honour is holding excellent form but will be tested here in this competitive line up. (2) We Have Touchdown represents decent Cape form and won’t be far. ( Devonne Govender 1-6-4-2)
RACE 8
Very open race. (1) Joy And Peace is a top filly hence she is the first selection in this highly competitive line up. (11) Holding Thumbs has been racing well and will be a big danger with the light mass. (4) Runaway Song has been running consistently and another honest run is expected. (9) Call To Unite is holding top form and another big performance can be expected. Punters are urged to play as wide as the budget allows. ( Devonne Govender 1-11-4-9)
RACE 9
(1) Cruise Control is in top form and has been winning impressively in recent starts so must be respected. (2) Fairy Knight is very classy and although he will prefer further, he isn’t without a chance. (5) Gimme’s Laddie is holding excellent form and another big run can be expected. (10) Anuschka’s World was narrowly beaten in the last start and will have a big say here. ( Devonne Govender 1-2-5-10)
