CELESTIAL DIAMOND (4) produced a promising debut effort when third of 11 over this course and distance last start. The manner in which she finished off her race that day was encouraging. She would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she may be the one to beat. TULIP FIELDS (13) ran a good race on debut, despite excuses. She was awkwardly placed at the start and the saddle was reported to have slipped in the running. She would have gained from her debut experience and can improve to pose a threat.

WORLD OF ROYALTY (3) has finished third in both his efforts to date. He raced green in the running over 1100m on this course last time, but the manner in which he finished off his race was eye-catching. He will love the rise to 1400m and from his good draw of three can return to winning ways. STAR IN MOTION (1) was squeezed when leaving the start last time, but finished off his race strongly. He should enjoy the rise to 1400m and he should fight out the finish. CAPTAINSHIP (4) set the pace over this distance last time and stayed on well to finish third.

CONVOCATION (4) is better than her last start run would suggest. Her three starts prior to that outing were good. Three of her six career victories have come on this course. S'manga Khumalo steps back into the saddle and she may be the horse to side with. ICY ELEANOR (8) is better than her last start run as she was reported to be not striding out. She is having her peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. VISION TO ACHIEVE (6) is a winner of her last two starts over this course and distance. She is in a good space and with Andrew Fortune in the saddle, she can bring up the hat-trick. CAPTAIN'S CHRISTY (1) returns from a spell which may have done her the world of good. Two of her three career victories have come over this course and distance. She will be mowing down the frontrunners at the finish.
6 03:15 TOTE OAKS 2400m
WORLD OF ALICE (9) was disappointing last time. Her penultimate run when second catches the eye and if jumping on terms, she can notch up her third-career victory. MY SOUL MATE (6) ran a good race when second last time. She has good consistent form lines to her credit and has each-way claims. GIVE ME EVERYTHING (3) only finished ninth last start over 2000m will love the rise to 2400m and Craig Zackey steps back into the saddle. She will be mowing down the frontrunners at the finish. KNOCKOUT (4) stayed on well when fifth over 1800m last time. She is having her peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. If seeing out the extra distance on offer, she can finish in the money.
7 03:50 TOTE DERBY 2400m
FUTURE SWING (8) finished second last start in what was his second run this prep. Richard Fourie is likely to use his early gate speed to overcome the widest draw and he can return to winning form. Worth noting that he has won third-up previously. FIELD MARSHAL (5) won a good race last time. He has won once and finished second twice from as many starts on this course. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect. CAPE EAGLE (2) is better than his last start run would suggest.

HOLDING THUMBS (6) finished fourth last start after being in contention on the turn over 2400m at Greyville, an improvement on his 12th at Greyville the run before. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the leading chances.
8 04:25 TOTE FOR THE WIN! CLASS 4 1400m
HONOR OF KINGS (10) ran a fair race over 1200m at Greyville last time. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. He is likely to race on the speed with Andrew Fortune up and may be hard to peg back. ROSH KEDESH (2) ran on from last when third over this distance on the polytrack last time. He jumps from a good draw of two and if not too far out of his ground turning for home, he should be involved at the finish. GLOBAL MOVEMENT (5) stayed on well when sixth over 1600m on this course last time. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field and will be storming home late. SKITTLES SKIES (8) returned from a spell nine days ago when he was beaten 9 lengths into seventh over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Strips fitter and can finish in the money.
