NUM TIME COMMENT
1 12:05 BP CHATSWORTH MAIDEN PLATE 1100m
ARE YOU SURE (9) was doing her best work late when fifth over 1200m last time.She has plenty of scope and she may be the one to side with. PRINCESS GOLDIE (6) stayed on well when third over 1200m on debut. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. She would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should pose a threat. HOT LAVA (11) showed good improvement in her last start over 1200m. She raced from just off the pace before getting caught late. If confirming that effort, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest. BLOWIN IN THE WIND (10) showed pace over 1000m on the polytrack last time and stayed on to finish second. She should be ideally suited to 1100m and can finish in the money.
2 12:35 CHESHIRE HOMES CHATSWORTH MAIDEN PLATE 1100m
STAR OF THE FUTURE (1) has produced two good runs to date. He returns from a spell during which time he was gelded. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and in this field, he should be the one to beat. BARRY DU GROND (2) should have finished closer to the winner last time. He was reported to have a head injury and the jockey dropped his whip. He jumps from a good draw of two and has each-way claims. CHILI BOMB (8) is having his first run for the Gareth van Zyl stable. His penultimate effort when third over 1160m at Turffontein catches the eye. If settled into his new surroundings, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest. GRAND FORCE (4) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then finished sixth over 1200m at Scottsville last start. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
3 01:10 SEAGULL INDUSTRIAL MAIDEN PLATE 1400m
PRINCE FLORIAN (5) is from the Dean Kannemeyer stable with Craig Zackey in the saddle. He does not need to be a stable superstar to win in this field and if not too green, he should start his career on a positive note. CAPTAINSHIP (10) was in need of his debut effort over 1200m at Scottsville. He would have come on from the run and should enjoy the extra distance on offer. There should be improvement to come from him. UZWANO (11) is a son of Ideal World and is the stable companion of the top selection. Serino Moodley is booked to ride and if not in need of the outing, he should give a good account of himself. GOT THE WORD (4) is better than his last two starts. He should enjoy the rise to 1400m and on his earlier form, he can finish in the money.
4 01:45 MORRIS VEE MAIDEN PLATE 1400m
FREDDY SLATER (9) showed very good improvement when second over 1600m on this course last time. The manner in which he finished off his race that day was eye-catching. He is a progressive type and with a bit of luck in the running he should be the one to beat. JP'S PALACE (5) has produced two decent efforts to date. He showed speed over 1200m last time but found one too good on the day. He should like the rise to 1400m and he should pose a massive threat. ONE ARMED BANDIT (8) raced from a handy position over 1200m last time but found one too good on the day. He is a progressive type and should like the rise to 1400m. MEERKAT MOON (7) was out of the money first-up but has progressed nicely since, last start finishing second at Scottsville over 1200m. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role.
5 02:20 SERVOTECH PINNACLE STAKES 1200m
PRAY FOR RAIN (5) has won once, finished second once and third four times from eleven starts on this course. He can notch up his sixth-career victory in this field. CAPTAIN BOMBSHELL (11) stayed on strongly when third over 1000m last time. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Has each-way claims. GOOD TRAVELLER (2) is better than his last start suggests. He has won once and finished second twice from six starts over this course and distance. On his previous form, he should be figuring inthe finish. NARINA TROGON (1) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Scottsville over 1500m last time, finishing eighth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Looks well placed so expecting a better run this time.
6 03:00 MBET.CO.ZA PINNACLE STAKES 1200m
QUASIFORSURE (12) is better than his last three starts suggest as he had excuses in each of those efforts. He returns from a spell which would have done him the world of good. He has won four times, finished second once and third once from ten starts on this course. He races well fresh and with Gavin Lerena in the saddle, he can return to winning form. PROUD MASTER (2) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 1.1 lengths over 1200m at Greyville All Weather. Generally runs well second-up and is a great chance to go back-to-back. TREAD SWIFTLY (1) missed the placings first up recently but was not too far from the winner when fifth over 1200m at Greyville All Weather. Has place claims. SHAMPOMPO SHAMPIZI (6) is progressing well this preparation, scoring by 0.9 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
7 03:35 BEACH BEAUTY MILE 1600m
SPIRIT OF LEVANA (3) ran a fair race last time. She should have finished closer to the winner that day as she hung inwards. She is resuming from a spell hand she gets the blinkers fitted. If not in need of this outing, she can return to winning form. CARE FORGOT (2) won a game race in her last start over this course and distance. She takes on stronger rivals but is a filly with ability and is one of the leading chances. SAFE AND SOUND (1) found one too good on the day last start. She lost a length at the start but stayed on well at the finish. If getting away to a clean start, she should finish in the placings. DESTINY OF FIRE (4) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1200m at Scottsville last start. Sure to improve and can make it back-to-back wins.
8 04:10 FORESIGHT MR 90 HANDICAP 1600m
GOLDEN PEACE (8) ran on well to win his last start by a neck over 1750m at Scottsville. Gavin Lerena steps back into the saddle and he can follow up. WICCAN WARRIOR (2) was not disgraced when fourth in his last start over 1500m at Scottsville. He has won twice from three starts over this course and distance. From his good draw of two, he merits healthy respect. SPELLING BEE (11) finished second last time over 1600m at this track, beaten a neck. Yet to miss the placings from four starts at this circuit. Ready to go one place better. SELUKWE (1) finished second two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score as the favourite over 1950m at Scottsville. Well placed to go back-to-back.
9 04:45 Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE MAIDEN PLATE 1600m
WARRIOR ROYALE (2) made the expected natural improvement when second over 1400m last time. She should enjoy the step up to 1600m. She is a progressive type and can go one better. TWILIGHT BAY (3) raced from a handy position last time and stayed on well to finish fourth. She jumps from a good draw of three and may have more to come. FLYING HALFA (8) ran a fair race over 1800m at Turffontein last time. She should have no issues with the drop back to 1600m and if jumping on level terms, she should be fighting out the finish. OH MANDY (4) ran on well from last when finishing fourth over 1400m last time. She will enjoy the rise to 1600m and from her good draw of four can run in the money.
