GALLOP TV MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1200m
CHERRYBLOSSOMPINK (2) produced a nice effort on debut over 1000m at this track when second, beaten a head. Has plenty of upside so she will prove tough to beat. SOHO CELEBRITY (8) stepped out for her debut over 1000m at this track back on January 11 and finished seventh, beaten 6 lengths. Very green on debut and put away. Returns with leading rider aboard. Can go on to better things this campaign. ANUSHKA (4) fought on well for third last start over 1000m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Well placed and should be in the finish again. SAND DUNE (6) is on debut. By Futura and is out of the Candice Bass stable. Worth watching for a betting push. |

BET WITH TOTE MAIDEN PLATE 1200m
FLYING FATE (2) is on debut for the Dean Kannemeyer stable. Three-year-old filly by Master Of My Fate from Miss December. Profiles strongly gly for this and is expected to measure up. Watch the betting closely. PEACH MELBA (3) improved last time out, finishing 0.9 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. WARRIOR ROSE (5) was close to a maiden win before a three-and-a-half months break, finishing off with a placing over 1200m at Greyville All Weather. Expect she has come on over the break. Among the leading chances. TIPPERARY (9) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 2.75 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1000m at this track after she was well back on straightening. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. |

LUCKY FISH WINNING STREAK CLASS 4 1400m
PAST IS PROLOGUE (11) got off the mark here over 1200m at third career start and kept fresh since. Looks suited by the extra ground. Capable of a strong showing. SPIRIT OF SHIMLA (7) was rewarded with her maiden success last start, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Winning rider Craig Zackey sticks and she is definitely worth including. QUERARI ROSE (5) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 9 lengths over 1200m at this track. Fitter for it and capable of featuring. SPINMYANGELSSPIN (4) is fitter and both career wins have been this trip. Expect a forward showing. |

CENTENARY CLUB MIDDLE STAKES 1950m
PLUM PUDDING (8) was in great form this class before a spell. Goes well fresh and has never missed the frame with Moodley aboard. Go close. GO GRAYSON GO (11) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1950m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Overdue for another win and can take running down. FRENCH TRIP (2) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win over 1750m at this track five weeks ago, getting home by a neck. Mxolisi Mbuto scored on him last time and retains the mount. Unbeaten course and distance and should feature. BRUH (9) was in contention on the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1750m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. |

www.galloptv.co.za CLASS 4 1600m
MISTER NIBBLES (7) is knocking on the door and was runner-up in open class latest so comes back a notch. Leading rider goes aboard and expected to go close. TYRCONNELL (8) fought on for third last start over 1500m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Settles close to the speed. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. MASTER BOMBER (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 12 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1600m at this track, beaten one length. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. MASTER DU ROUVRAY (9) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1950m at this track. That followed a win at Greyville the start prior. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. |

KINGS CUP 1600m
KING PELLES (6) was simply too strong fresh when led throughout for a dominant win. Comes back to the mile bit fitter and goes very well here. Expected to go close again. The class is OKAVANGO (9) who has been racing at the top level. Won the Grade 2 Midmar Trophy fresh then fourth last time out in the Grade 1 The Met at Kenilworth over 2000m. More weight but well back in grade and should be in the finish. MADISON VALLEY (7) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 2.5 lengths into sixth over 1500m at this track. Strips fitter and can make amends. IMPOSING (5) scored last start at Greyville All Weather to make it five wins from 10 starts this campaign. This looks a suitable assignment. |

BET WITH COLOSSUS EXCLUSIVE ON www.tote.co.za CLASS 4 1000m
CALL ME JANE (5) finished a very close third last start over 1000m at this track to make it four minor placings in a row since a win. Overdue and can break through. CAPTAIN VENTURA (6) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1000m at this track to make it two in a row. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Rates highly and hard to fault form. Big chance. VISION TO ACHIEVE (2) produced a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at this track over 1000m. Should be in the finish again. MILLION VOICES (4) finished third last time over 1000m at Greyville All Weather, beaten 1.2 lengths. Tristan Godden gets the best out of this four-year-old filly.

LUCKY FISH HORSESHOE HEAT B STAKES 1000m
MAJOR TOMMIE (2) is racing well and wasn't far from the winner last time and rates highly. Go close. SERENGETTI SUN (10) has won only try course and distance. Fitter and looks a top chance. DONQUERARI (1) finds it hard to win with six victories from 67 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1000m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. CIRCUMBENDIBUS (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 2 lengths into fourth. No surprise to see him in the mix. |

Hollywoodbets BRIGHT FUTURE D STAKES 1000m
ARVERNI PRINCESS (2) was going okay prior to finishing 7 lengths back in sixth last start over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. Jacey Botes has a strong winning record aboard the five-year-old mare so she can improve sharply. IN THE BAG (6) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at Greyville All Weather over 1200m. Great chance to finally return to the winners' circle. PURPLE POWAHOUSE (4) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1000m at this track, beaten a long neck. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. CALL OF THE KAROO (7) turned in another moderate effort last start when 7 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1000m at Fairview All Weather. Capable of featuring prominently. |
