Race 1
TSITSIKAMMA PEARL ran a good race when second in her last start over 1400m on the Standside course. She set the pace, but was caught in the shadow of the post by Azucar. The daughter of Where’s That Tiger is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. She jumps from a good draw of three and may be hard to peg back.
COUNT YOUR CHANCES finished 0.5 lengths behind the top choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and there should not be much separating them in the run down to the line.
CHILLI MARMALADE showed some improvement in her last start over 1200m on this course. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The manner in which she finished off that outing suggests that she will be at home over this distance.
Race 2
FREE MOVEMENT raced from a handy position over the mile on the Standside course last time, but was caught late by Mo The Man. He finished third in his only attempt over this C&D. In this type of field and from his good draw of two, he can go one better.
PEMBROKE found one too good in the form of San Marzano last time. He steps up to the 1450m and in this line-up, he is one of the leading contenders under Keagan de Melo.
FULLY LOADED finished 10 lengths behind the top choice last time. His penultimate run when third over 1500m at the Vaal was fair. He gets the services of 2.5kgs claiming apprentice Donald Geerthsen and may be hard to peg back.
Race 3
FOSTINOVO should have won his last start over this C&D as his pilot dropped his crop at the 100m mark. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. Keagan de Melo retains the ride from pole position and he will be looking to make amends.
IKIGAI’S last two starts have been fair. It must be noted that the form of his last outing has been franked. He is having his peak run and on best form shown, he may be hard to peg back.
TEXAS RED is better than his last start in the Non-Black Type 4Racing Gold Rush Sprint. He has won four times and finished third three times from as many starts over this distance. The son of The United States cannot be ignored.
Race 4
TRUMP MY QUEEN finished 2.75 lengths behind SPECIAL CHARM last time. She is 5.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. The daughter of Captain Of All finished 1.5 lengths behind IPSOFACTO in her penultimate run. She is 11.5kgs better off at the weights and should turn the form around. She is likely to be switched off near the rear of the field from the widest draw and will be mowing down the frontrunners.
PATON’S TEARS has finished second in her last two starts under Kaidan Brewer. She jumps from pole position and if jumping on terms, she should be competitive.
IPSO FACTO finished 2.75 lengths behind the second choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and she may have to settle for the same result.
Race 5
PASCHALS SAMORE took on stronger in her last start over this C&D. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She has won twice from four starts over this C&D. The 6yo mare takes a drop in class and with Mathew Thackeray back in the saddle, she should be hard to catch in the run down to the line.
KWAZZI’S LADY ran on well when second over 1600m on this course last time. The daughter of Coup De Grace should have no issues with the extra furlong on offer and she is one of the leading contenders. RADU was ultra-impressive when shedding her maiden tag under Piere Strydom last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The daughter of Rabada takes on stronger, but she has plenty of scope and should be up to the task at hand.
Race 6
SHOEMAKER is the best bet on the programme. He showed good signs of a form return in his last start over 1160m on the Standside course. He was slow into stride, but the manner in which he finished off his race that day was encouraging. The son of Gimmethegreenlight will love the return to the mile. He is the best-weighted runner in this contest and should take a power of beating.
BRAVE VIKING ran on powerfully when winning his last start over 1500m on this course. He has plenty of scope and may be the one to fill the exacta spot.
JOHNNY DOGS’ last two starts under Mathew Thackeray and with the pacifiers fitted have been fair. He is likely to have his own way in front from pole position and can finish in the placings.
Race 7
HOMELY GIRL stayed on when 2.5 lengths behind Vanderbilt last time. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. She finished second in her only attempt over this C&D. Keagan de Melo is likely to race her from a forward position from her wide draw and she may find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
TIPSY TARRAGON raced from a handy position over 1500m last time, but was outrun late by Brave Viking. She has finished second twice from as many starts on this course. Should the top choice fluff her lines, she may be the one to pick up the pieces.
EMERALD PRINCESS has decent form lines to her credit. It must be noted that the horse that finished second in her last outing has come out and won since. If not too far out of her ground turning for home, she should be competitive.
Race 8
JP TWO THOUSAND showed good signs of a form return in his last start over this distance on the Vaal Classic course. He raced from a handy position, but was outrun late. The son of Elusive Fort has dropped to a competitive rating and with S’manga Khumalo retaining the ride, he can return to winning ways.
RYAN’S DREAM ran a good race when second over this C&D last time. He stayed on at the finish, but found one too good in the form of Angel Of War. The son of Rabada has plenty of scope and merits respect.
MILLAHUE’S last three starts have been decent. He should have finished closer to the winner last time as he had to be switched at the 300m mark. He is having his peak run and will be cherry- ripe.
