Update, meeting abandoned
Race 1
MAISENSATION produced a promising debut effort over this C&D. She should have finished closer as she lost 2 lengths leaving the start and was unbalanced at the 300m mark. She would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should be the one to beat.
SCARLET MACAW stayed on when second over 1000m last time. She should love the extra furlong on offer and is one of the leading contenders.
CHAMPAGNE KISSES showed improvement when third over this C&D last time. She is a progressive type and should have more to come.
Race 2
FROM A DISTANCE stayed on when second over this C&D last time. She is a progressive type and in this type of field, she should go one better.
I’M SO PRITTI showed improvement when third over this C&D last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. Should the top choice fluff her lines, she may be the one to pick up the pieces.
FESTIVAL CHIC produced a promising debut effort over 1000m on this course. She understandably raced green but the manner in which she stayed on at the finish was encouraging. She would have come on from the run and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should be competitive.
Race 3
PENTOLINA was unlucky not to have won her last start over this C&D as she was carried inwards at the 250m mark. She is a progressive type and with luck in running, she should find herself in the winner’s enclosure.
DUCHESS OF PALOMA ran a fair race over 1200m last time. The manner in which she finished off her race that day suggests that she will love the rise to 1400m. If not too green around the turn, she should pose a threat.
BELA VISTA was disappointing in her last start over 1000m. Her debut effort when second over 1100m catches the eye. She is bred to love the rise to 1400m and from her good draw of two, she should feature.
Race 4
ARBITRATION caught the eye when sixth on debut over 1200m. He raced green but the manner in which he stayed on at the finish was encouraging. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He is bred to love the rise to 1400m and with the natural improvement that is expected, he should be the one to beat.
LATE DECEMBER ran on well when fourth over 1200m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He is carded to race on 15 July 2024 and his progress in that race will need to be monitored.
STATED stayed on when second over this C&D last time. If Grant van Niekerk is able to switch him off early, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest.
Race 5
NATIONAL DISGRACE finished 0.8 lengths behind JET TO THE SUN last time. She is 1kg better off at the weights today and there should not be much separating the pair at the finish. If keeping on a straight line, she can shed her maiden tag.
JET TO THE SUN showed some signs of needing her last start. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. She will strip much fitter and merits healthy respect.
JET GREEN finished 0.05 lengths behind the second choice last time. She is 0.5kgs worse off at the weights today and may have to settle for the same result. She is carded to race on 15 July 2024 and her progress in that race will need to be monitored.
Race 6
GROOVEJET stayed on when second over 1600m on this course last time. The manner in which he finished off his race that day suggests that he will love the rise to 1800m. From his good draw of two, he can go one better.
MIDWAY raced from a handy position last time, moved up but was caught late. The 1800m should be right up his alley and he is one of the leading contenders.
GOLDEN GREY finished 1.95 lengths behind the second choice last time. He is 6.5kgs worse off at the weights today and may battle to turn the form around. He is carded to race on 15 July 2024 and his progress in that race will need to be monitored.
Race 7
TRIED AND TRUE’S last two starts have been fair. She has dropped in the ratings and takes a drop in class. From her good draw of two, she may be the one to cause the upset.
FLY TO RIO raced from a handy position last time and stayed on to finish third. Grant van Niekerk retains the ride and she should throw out a big challenge to the top choice.
NILE THE BOSS finished 0.75 lengths behind the second selection last time. She is 0.5kgs worse off at the weights and may have to settle for the same result.
Race 8
TRIPPI’S SILK stayed on when fourth over 1200m last time. He finished 0.3 lengths behind MAJOR APOLLO in his penultimate effort. He is 3kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. He will be mowing down the frontrunners.
WYLIE JACK stayed on when second over 1100m on this course. He finished 2.05 lengths behind MAJOR APOLLO in the race referred to above. He is 3kgs better off at the weights and should turn the form around.
MAJOR APOLLO showed good speed when winning his last start over this C&D. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He is in a good space and should be hard to peg back.
Race 9
BECKY SHARP followed up her maiden victory with a good second-place finish over 1100m on this course. She was slow into stride and stayed on at the finish. She will love the rise to 1200m and should be the one to beat.
SILVER SCREEN finished 1.85 lengths behind the top choice last time. She is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result. She would have come on from the outing and should strip much fitter.
STRATA finished 1.55 lengths behind the top selection in the race referred to above. She is 0.5kgs better off at the weights and there should not be much separating them at the finish.
Race 10
SOUTHERN SKIES showed good guts when winning her last start over this C&D. She received a six-pound penalty for that victory. She gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which should keep her mind on the task at hand. She is in a good space and can follow up.
MISS MARGUERITE finished 3.05 lengths behind the top choice last time. She is 3kgs better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result.
KNOCKOUT found one too good in the form of Nordic Quest last time. She is having her peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. She will be mowing down the frontrunners
