RACE 1: Preview: INSATIABLE(6) is by Querari out of Listed Oak Trial winner Inaninstant (Silvano). RUNAWAY PRINCESS (7) has found some support in both starts and showed good pace on debut over this trip so can go close in this uninspiring field. THAI TREAT (4), who is by Duke Of Marmalade out of dual Grade 1-winning sprinter Rat Burana, has scope and should improve on her debut in which she was beaten ten lengths. MERLINS BOY (3), who was a length further back in that race, can also improve. EDWARD LONGSHANKS (2) is by William Longsword out of a Var maiden who is a half-sister to Grade 2 winner Paterfamilias. (David Thiselton 6-7-4-3-2)
RACE 2: Preview: ALULA’S STAR (3) caught the eye on debut when running second despite starting 20/1 and she should improve so is the one to beat. ABALUS (1) has had five successive seconds and should enjoy dropping back to the minimum trip. MISS UNITED STATES (4) is by promising new sire The United States out of a Grade 3 and Listed-winning Grey Eminence mare Madrisa. MEADOW BEAUTY (6) is by Flower Ally and is a half-sister to the like of Grade 3 winner Mount Laurel and three-time winner Foreign Field. IPHIKO (9) is by Trippi out of a isted-winning Western Winter are. (David Thiselton 3-1-4-6-9)
RACE 3: Preview: LILIANA (4) went close second time out and can get it right here over a step up in rip which should suit. CODE ZERO (1) is capable of improvement and is the chief danger. GILDA GRAY (3) is knocking on the door and should be thereabouts again. (David Thiselton 4-1-3)
RACE 4: Preview: RAPID CHARGE (4) , a half-sister to Surcharge (who is a Grade 1 winner in SA and Australia), is improving and the cheekpieces are replaced with blinkers. TIME REQUEST (5) only has 1,75 lengths to make up on Rapid Charge from there last meeting. KISSED BY FIRE (2) should be involved despite a wide draw. (David Thiselton 4-5-2)
RACE 5: Preview: SPLASH OF GREEN (6) was not disgraced in the Grade 1 Thekwini and starts handicapping off a reasonable 90 merit rating considering her form which means she oly ha to carry 52.5kg and Yeni rides. IDEAL JET (1) just failed last time over 200m in her first start since the SA Oaks and as a daughter of Ideal World she should continue to progress. OPERA GLASS (3) won well last time over 2000m but was under sufferance so received a ten point raise and it will be tougher here but she is on the up. LAST CHEER (5) is not too consistent but is capable on her day and distance suited. ROCK YOU (2) and CONSOL QUEEN (7) can earn if reproducing their best form although the latter is 1kg under sufferance. (David Thiselton 6-1-3-5-2-7)
RACE 6: Preview: WEDDING BLISS (2) is well drawn and might enjoy the step down in trip so has a shout off a reduced merit rating. FASINADA (5) is 1.5kg better off with Rabia The Rebel for a 1,25 length beating over this trip last time and now has a good draw. LADY OF THE FLAME (1) ran well first time out the maidens and could be a contender again here over a step up in trip she should handle. RABIA THE REBEL (3) enjoyed being out front last time and has an opportunity to do the same from pole position albeit off a three point higher mark and bearing she is an in and out type. TINDER DRY has room for improvement and is 1.5kg better off with Rabia The Rebel for a 1.50 length beating but she does have a tough draw. SENESCENCE is well draw and can never be ignored. (David Thiselton 2-5-1-3-7-4)
RACE 7: Preview: FUNKY MUSIC (2) has been ultra consistent recently from 1450m to 1600m with one win, four seconds and a third and he is the one to beat of able to overcome a wide draw. QUNETRA (4) just failed from the front last time over this trip and beat Funky Music by 0,4 lengths on just half-a-kilogram better terms than here. WAQAAS (7) was forced to do too much too early last time from a wide draw and duly faded but has a shout here from a good draw off a reduced merit rating over a course and distance he has won twice over. SUITED CONNECTOR (1) has a nice draw and should enjoy this trip so is interesting as a lightly raced horse who could still improve. PSYCHO KING (6) is drawn in pole over an ideal trip and can be a contender. (David Thiselton 2-4-7-1-6)
RACE 8: Preview: ELUSIVE SWANN (2) moved up well over 2000m on Saturday but found no extra and finished a 0,80 length third so from pole position over his probable optimum trip of 1600m he has a good chance. LIGHT WARRIOR (5) is a consistent sort and over a suitable trip starts handicapping off a reasonable merit rating after an easy maiden win in his 21st start. EL ROMIACHI (1) is not the most consistent but can never be ignored. THEROSEOFBECHARRE (8) was left with too much to do last time over 1400m but if able to find cover from a wide draw should enjoy this step up in trip. MY KINGDOM (6) disappointed last time but can do better although he has a tricky draw. (David Thiselton 2-5-1-8-6)
