Race 2: OFF BROADWAY(1)
Jockey: Richard FOURIE - Trainer: Glen KOTZEN
The Cape visitors OFF BROADWAY and HENRY TUDOR could dominate the finish in this six furlong sprint with preference for the former who hails from the Glen Kotzen yard. The chestnut son of Var had too much to do from a wide draw at Durbanville last month but had promising prior form behind some quality sorts and he should stake a serious claim.
TOP BET
Race 3: GLAMOROUS LIFE(7)
Jockey: Richard FOURIE - Trainer: Glen KOTZEN
The Cape visitors should dominate the betting market and the finish once again and GLAMOROUS LIFE could take a power of beating if she handles this track and the local conditions. Trainer Kotzen's charge adopted frontrunning tactics and fought back well when going down narrowly in registering her career best performance over a mile in a strong field five weeks ago. The slightly shorter trip should be right up her alley and she is drawn best of all.
Race 6: ELUSIVENCHANTMENT(6)
Jockey: Lyle HEWITSON - Trainer: Yvette BREMNER
This is a tricky non-black affair where the likely pacesetter could have things all her own way and the first selection ELUSIVENCHANTMENT is expected to dictate terms. The well-related bay mare showed much determination as she held off VILLA DEL LARGO to narrowly win her local debut over five furlongs on the polytrack three weeks ago. She was returning from an eleven week absence so will strip much fitter and she holds a promising record over this extra furlong. Her favourable draw is an obvious plus.
Race 7: PACK LEADER(1)
Jockey: Richard FOURIE - Trainer: Glen KOTZEN
The day's topliner sees some promising three-year olds clash at level weights over the mile with the fairer sex represented by two entrants. The top selection is Cape visitor PACK LEADER from the Glen Kotzen yard. This Philanthropist colt needed his seasonal debut sprint in the 'Mother City' and of course he had a successful juvenile campaign in KZN which culminated with an eye-catching performance behind his stable companion Eyes Wide Open in a Grade 1 over this trip.
VALUE BET
Race 8: COCK-A-HOOP(5)
Jockey: Bernard FAYD'HERBE - Trainer: Justin SNAITH
COCK-A-HOOP has disappointed in recent efforts in his home province but the Snaith inmate should be an entirely different proposition on his return to this venue. The chestnut colt fought hard when narrowly beaten in a c & d feature in autumn where he had the local GREEN LANTERN (0.5kg worse off) comfortably behind him. He has since come down nicely in the merit ratings and his last formline was given a boost when the 12th placed entrant Captainofmyheart won his subsequent outing in this province.
