NUM TIME COMMENT
1 12:35 CAMARGUE STUD KWAZULU-NATAL BREEDERS JUVENILE PLATE 1200m
DANTONFROMSANDTON (5) was given a gun ride when winning his last start over 1000m at Turffontein. He finished third in his only attempt over this distance. If suited to the polytrack, he should follow up with another victory. KALAHARI ROLLER (2) showed good speed when winning his maiden over 1000m at the second time of asking. He returns from a spell during which time he would have strengthened up. If not in need of the run, he may be hard to peg back. SUN IN MY POCKET (1) was among the placings last time when second of eight at this track when on debut and will be fitter second up, winning hope. MISSISSIPPI SPICE (3) missed on debut at Scottsville over 1200m on debut and was safely held. Can expect a bold run.
2 01:10 THE FORT STUD MAIDEN PLATE 1400m
DARING DASH (1) was in the money last start when finishing second of 11 at Scottsville over 1400m. Ready to win and jumping from the inside gate is expected to go close. FLYING REIGN STORM (8) is still a maiden after nine starts but having placed in two of her last three starts has ability to break through. ALWAYS SHINING (3) ran ninth at this track last start after having placed in his three previous starts. Looks well placed to return to form. TERIYAKI (5) finished fourth of 13 last start at Greyville over 1200m last start. Has each-way claims.
3 01:45 BLUE SKY THOROUGHBREDS MAIDEN PLATE 1700m
MAGIC HAT TRICK (10) showed very good improvement when third over 2200m on the turf last time. The manner in which he ran on at the finish that day was encouraging. Serino Moodley is likely to settle him near the rear of the field from the wide draw and he will be storming home late. FIRE FORCE (11) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2200m at Greyville, beaten 1.5 lengths into sixth. Richard Fourie steps into the saddle and there should be improvement to come. ANIMAL IMPACT (8) made progress last time out, finishing second of 10 over 1700m at this track. Has his share of ability and looks hard to beat. RAINWATER (7) remains a maiden after three runs. Was well in commission last time but could only manage to finish sixth over 1600m at this track. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment.
4 02:20 BLOOMHILL STUD KWAZULU-NATAL BREEDERS 1200 1200m
RUSSIAN DOLL (1) produced a promising run fresh-up from a spell over 1000m on this course, against male company. The manner in which she stayed on at the finish that day was encouraging. She is unbeaten from two starts over this course and distance. She will be at peak fitness for this outing and may be the one to side with. MAGIC TATTOO (7) was running on well when third over 1000m at Scottsville last time. He is having his peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. CONVOCATION (8) is a talented filly who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1200m at Scottsville. Has a high cruising speed and has solid each-way claims. PROUD MASTER (9) was sent out at long odds when resuming last time but ran above expectations to finish fourth, beaten only 1.3 lengths, over 1200m at Scottsville. Has a good record here at this journey with four wins and a minor placing from seven starts. Keep safe.
5 02:55 MACRATH STUD KWAZULU-NATAL BREEDERS 1900 1900m
PIRATE PRINCE (11) was not disgraced when fifth of 12 over 2400m last start. He has won three times, finished second once and third once from nine starts on this course. He is the class horse in this contest and with luck in running may be hard to peg back. WILLOW'S WISH (7) has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. Richard Fourie is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. MAGICAL FLIGHT (9) is better than her last start over 1500m on the Turffontein Inside course would suggest. She has won once, finished second twice and third once from six starts on this course. She is likely to race up on the speed and should give the males a decent run for their money. LINGANOMORE (8) is backing up quickly after finishing in the money at Turffontein Inside over 1800m just seven days ago. Nice run last time and should be figuring in the finish.
6 03:30 CLIFTON STUD KWAZULU-NATAL BREEDERS 1600 1600m
WYZEACT (4) has good recent form lines to his credit. He set the pace over 1400m at the Vaal last time, but was outrun late. He won his only attempt on this course, four starts back and looks well placed here to return to winning form. LUCKY DOLLAR (2) stayed on well when second over this distance on the turf last time. He won his penultimate start over this course and distance and is one of the leading contenders. WILLOW EXPRESS (7) got the upper hand late when winning his last start over 1400m at Scottsville. He is well suited to this course and he merits healthy respect. GIAMBATTISTA (9) turned in another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in eighth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed and has top-three claims.
7 04:05 KWAZULU-NATAL BREEDERS MILE 1600m
MRS GERIATRIX (4) ran a decent race when finishing second of 10 over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. She is the best-weighted runner in this contest and can return to winning form. LAGUNA VERDE (8) showed good signs of a form return in his last start over 1400m at the Vaal. He raced from a handy position, moved up but was caught late. He is the stable elect with Craig Zackey aboard and should prove hard to beat. PLAYER (7) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1900m at Greyville All Weather That followed a win at Turffontein Inside at the previous outing. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. NOBLE CITY (3) finished ninth last start, beaten 6 lengths at this track over 1800m. Comes here with definite each-way claims.
8 04:45 DECLARATIONOFPEACE MR 66 HANDICAP 1200m
STEVIE GEE (10) finished a nose third over 1200m at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position and prove hard to roll. BRASS BELL (4) was below his best last time when sixth over 1400m at this track. Looks better placed here and can return to form. FATE OF FORTUNE (3) finished third of 11 over 1400m at Greyville last start and was then put out for a spell. He jumps from an inside gate and having won fresh-up previously should be figuring in the finish. BRAVE VOYAGER (9) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running fifth at this track. Expecting a strong run in this field.
9 05:20 EDEN ROC MR 74 HANDICAP 1400m
PHAKA IMALI (8) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second of 11 over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed in this line-up so expecting another big run. IMAGINABLE (4) is racing well this prep and has each-way claims following a game run to finish third of nine last start. BENNI IN THE AREA (2) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1200m at this track. Rates well as one of the main dangers. STRAWBERRY STINGER (10) finished third of 10 last start over 1200m at this track. Having his fifth run this prep so should be cherry-ripe. Has each-way claims.
