NUM TIME COMMENT

LIKE A BUTTERFLY (6) took the lead at the 150m mark last time before getting caught in the shadow of the post. She meets the right field and can go one better. HEAD GIRL (5) has consistent form lines to her name. She showed signs of needing her resuming run over 1000m on this course, last time. She should strip much fitter and she may be hard to peg back. LADYBUG (4) ran a fair race on debut over this course and distance last start when finishing fourth of nine. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She would have gained from the experience and should make the natural improvement needed. TAKE YOUR TIME (1) was in need of her debut effort over this distance at Scottsville last start. She would have come on from the run and should have improvement to come.

FRENCH DUCHESS (3) showed good improvement in her first run for the Barend Botes stable. She lost a length leaving the start, but the manner in which she finished off her race to finish fourth was encouraging. She will strip much fitter horse today and should like the extra distance on offer. In this field, she may find herself in the winner's enclosure. QONDANEKUKHANYENI (4) has been in need of her first three career outings. She should love the rise to 1400m and she should have improvement to come. DYNASTY'S LAST (6) gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which should keep her mind on the task at hand. She can improve to finish in the placings. HER ROYALTY (7) finished out of the money two starts back then finished fourth over 1200m at this track last start. Has each-way claims.

MC DAZZLER (6) cost himself winning last time as he shifted away from the whip over the closing stages. He has been gelded since that outing which may have done the trick.

He finished second in his penultimate run over this course and distance. If not in need of this outing, he can finish in the money.

He would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he may be the one to beat. SALT 'N PEPPA (2) showed good improvement in his last start over this course and distance when finishing third. Will strip a lot fitter and has to be considered. RECORD HIGH (4) ran a fair race on debut over 1000m on this course last start. He would have come on from the run and should love the extra 200m on offer. He should have improvement to come.

PANTEA (1) stayed on well when third over 1000m on this course last time. She has dropped to a competitive rating and she can return to winning form. VISION OF WILL (5) takes a slight drop in class and on best form shown she should be involved in the finish. AN AIR OF PRIDE (6) improved sharply last time out to score by 1.1 lengths over 1400m at this track three weeks ago. Well placed to feature in the finish again. PERFECT TRUST (4) ran midfield last start at this track as the favourite. Is up in distance today, and looks a leading chance.

THE REAL PRINCE (8) was impressive when winning on debut over this distance at Kenilworth. He returns from a spell during which time he was gelded. If not in need of this run he should remain unbeaten. DONQUERARI (1) was running on well when finishing second over 1000m at Scottsville last time. He has won once, finished second once and third twice from seven starts on this course. Apprentice Brevan Plaatjies retains the ride and the combination merit healthy respect.

FASHION MISTRESS (1) was running on well when second over this course and distance last time. She has won once and finished second twice from six starts over this course and distance. She is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. From pole position, she should give the males a decent run for their money. PURPLE POWAHOUSE (4) is better than his last start run over 1200m on this course would suggest. He has finished second twice and third twice from six starts over this course and distance. Each-way claims. ANOTHERDAYINAFRICA (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race when finishing fourth last time out over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. NDAKA (8) turned in another moderate effort last start when 7 lengths from the winner in 12th over 1200m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest and can run a place.
8 04:25 Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE FM 70 HANDICAP 1900m
DOCTOR'S ORDERS (7) showed good improvement in her last start over this course and distance. The manner in which she ran on at the finish that day was encouraging. If not too far out of her ground turning for home, she can go one better. WHATSUPBUTTACUP (8) won first up at this track then finished third last time out over 1900m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Has never missed the frame when third-up from a spell so she is among the leading chances. SUMMER SONG (1) resumed last time out and finished second over 1700m at this track, beaten a nose. Tries the 1900m for the first time and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she should be hard to peg back.
