|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (2)  Peregrine Falcon |  | | | | 4 | G Van Niekerk | J S Snaith | Finished last of 20 in a maiden plate in January at Kenilworth; back from a break; unlikely to trouble the principals | ||
2nd (4)  Fencing Captain | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | P Botha | Ran respectably at 33-20 (this trip Durbanville, maiden plate) last month; very interesting | ||
(1)  Galactus | | | | | 3 | D Schwarz | G S Kotzen | Finished fifth, beaten a fair way in a maiden plate 27 days ago (Greyville Polytrack) upped to 7f; has to be high on list with yard in good form | ||
(3)  Cork Bay | | | | | 3 | C Orffer | W A Nel | Racing debut; dam had winning form; worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise with others looking more obvious on paper | ||
(5)  Crescent | | | | | 3 | J P v'd Merwe | J S Snaith | 33-1 chance when finishing eighth of nine on his debut over C&D | ||
(6)  Jet A One | | | | | 3 | M Winnaar | D A McLachlan | No impression when seventh (maiden plate) here over 6f last month; opposable | ||
(7)  Military Messenger | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Course debutants for this trainer have to be taken seriously; makes competitive race debut; whether he'll be sufficiently clued up remains to be seen so watch the market | ||
(8)  Seeking The Life | | | | | 4 | S Veale | V H Marshall | Well beaten in first-time blinkers in a maiden plate 18 days ago over C&D when beaten 7l; he's an attractive contender |
FENCING CAPTAIN is hard to get away from while Galactus and Seeking The Life have a chance although they aren't easy to fancy based on what they did last time out.

3rd (1)  Marine Merchant | | | | | 3 | A Andrews | C Bass-Robinson | From a stable with a solid record with debutants; dam was a race winner; others look more obvious on paper; probably best watched | ||
2nd (10)  Unsung Hero | | | | | 3 | S Veale | V H Marshall | Last of ten (over 7f here) latest; has a bit to find with Mitredat (eighth) on that running; fitted with first-time blinkers; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and is a solid option | ||
1st (8)  Twentytwentyvision | | | | | 4 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Without a win after 11 runs; ninth beaten 8l 18 days ago here; a good third at Durbanville two starts back and poses a threat | ||
(2)  Mitredat | | | | | 3 | M Mjoka | L Gila | Stepped up to 7f latest here when beaten a fair way (18l); may be vulnerable | ||
(3)  King Of The Seas | | | | | 4 | K Steyn | P Botha | Comfortably beaten finishing sixth in an open race latest (Kenilworth) | ||
(4)  Master Wizard | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | H/m Crawford/rix | Dam was a race winner; probably best watched against experienced rivals | ||
| (5) You With Me | | | | | 3 | C Orffer | W A Nel | Having first race; dam had winning form; worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise this early in his career | ||
(6)  Mystic Majesty | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | A E Sands | Not beaten too far at 8-1 when fifth of 11 over C&D latest; form boosted by the second going in since; has strong claims | ||
(7)  Lord Quinn | | | | | 4 | C Bantam | A D Steyn | Finished seventh dropped back to 7f in an open race (Kenilworth) when beaten a fair way (10l) last month; still without a win after 11 starts | ||
(9)  Honor Of Kings | | | | | 3 | G Van Niekerk | J S Snaith | Out of a dam who was a race winner; yard has a good record with newcomers; probably best watched as this doesn't look easy against more experienced rivals |
Unsung Hero and King Of The Seas must bounce back from below-par performances while Twentytwentyvision is possibly starting to look exposed. But firm preference is for MYSTIC MAJESTY who has seen the form of his latest run well advertised.

3rd (2)  Tap Shoes | | | | | 3 | G Van Niekerk | J S Snaith | From a stable with a solid record with debutants; out of a winning dam; worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise against experienced rivals | ||
| 2nd (6) Berry's Boogie | | | | | 3 | C Orffer | W A Nel | Dam a winner; makes competitive race debut; the lack of experience may hold her back so passed over unless the market says otherwise | ||
1st (3)  I'm So Pritti | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | J S Snaith | Missed out by three-quarters of a length sent off 9-2 over C&D latest, the third and seventh won since; likely to be a leading contender | ||
(1)  Warbird | | | | | 3 | J P v'd Merwe | J S Snaith | Finished seventh of eight on her debut (66-1, over 5f here); enters calculations | ||
(4)  Daisy Duke | | | | | 5 | D Schwarz | L Gila | Finished eighth dropped back to this distance in an open race last month when beaten 7l; has run 13 times without getting off the mark | ||
(5)  Cold Breeze | | | | | 3 | G Wright | A N Marcus | Well beaten eighth of 15 (Kenilworth) in June | ||
(7)  Gusto Girl | | | | | 4 | X Carstens | A D Steyn | Still searching for her first win after ten attempts; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 3½l at 25-1) in an open race latest; that form advertised by the second | ||
| (8) Bright Gold | | | | | 3 | A Andrews | C Bass-Robinson | Solid run when fifth (this distance Durbanville, fillies maiden plate) last month; one to be interested in | ||
(9)  Tennille | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | J S Snaith | Dam did get her head in front; newcomers from this stable are often capable of winning first time out; easy enough to oppose with some of these having run before | ||
(10)  Greedanddesire | | | | | 4 | M Mjoka | P Steyn | Not disgraced in sixth at 50-1 in an open race over C&D last month; lightly raced; passed over |
I'M SO PRITTI is strongly fancied to prevail. She has seen the form of her latest run well advertised. Gusto Girl has seen her limitations exposed while Bright Gold is one to be feared, and Warbird should be involved but needs to be excused a bad run last time.

| 3rd (3) Double Dash | | | | | 3 | G Van Niekerk | D A McLachlan | Never landed a blow when eighth of 16 (Kenilworth) in June; far from solid | ||
1st (5)  Golden Angel | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | G S Kotzen | Creditable debut third (16-1, at Durbanville over 6f); must go on the shortlist if replicating initial run | ||
| 2nd (4) Tuscan Romance | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Went down by 1½l when runner-up at Kenilworth in March; back from an absence; ought to be competitive | ||
(1)  Night In Japan | | | | | 3 | S Veale | V H Marshall | Comfortably beaten finishing sixth latest (over 6f here) | ||
(2)  Playful Joules | | | | | 3 | A Andrews | G W Ennion | Could not manage better than eighth over C&D latest; others appeal more | ||
(6)  Champagne Kisses | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | J S Snaith | Ran well from a poor draw in a fillies maiden plate last month when beaten just under 2l to finish second here (5f); major player | ||
| (7) Special Glamour | | | | | 3 | C Orffer | W A Nel | Inexperience a possible drawback so a watching brief the best policy; stepping on to a racecourse for the first time | ||
| (8) Strictly Private | | | | | 3 | J P v'd Merwe | J S Snaith | Dam had winning form; stable can ready one; remains to be seen whether she'll be clued up enough to get off the mark at the first attempt - this one is best watched |
CHAMPAGNE KISSES is the one to back. Golden Angel, with few miles on the clock, could be capable of better, and Tuscan Romance is likely to be popular with punters.

| (2) Lord Nelson | | | | | 5 | L Mxothwa | P Botha | Managed only one win; upped to this trip last month when beaten 10l (behind Liketheclappers) on his second outing for this trainer; he can be taken on | ||
(1)  Porto Zante | | | | | 4 | D Schwarz | G S Kotzen | Finished seventh dropped to 6f last month; the only filly in the race; makes little appeal | ||
(3)  Champagne Mac | | | | | 4 | G Wright | B Crawford | Found life tough when 7l back in sixth over this trip at Kenilworth six weeks ago | ||
(5)  Gold Index | | | | | 5 | M Winnaar | L Gila | Finished towards the rear of 13 beaten 15l (over this distance, Kenilworth) last month; one to oppose | ||
3rd (4)  Unsolved Riddle | | | | | 5 | C Bantam | L Gila | Was on the premises (finished second of ten, open race, over 6f here) ten days ago; just the one win to his name | ||
(7)  Liketheclappers | | | | | 6 | C Zackey | J S Snaith | Respectable effort (C&D) last month; has had lots of chances since last win but has winning course-and-distance form to his name; if replicating best efforts hard to dismiss | ||
1st (6)  Augusta Blue | | | | | 5 | G Van Niekerk | A N Marcus | Managed only one win; not beaten that far (4½l, went off 4-1, Kenilworth) six weeks ago | ||
2nd (8)  Spirit's Unite | | | | | 4 | R Fourie | P Steyn | You have to go back a long way to find his only win; favourite when runner-up over this trip at Kenilworth latest; has to be feared if building on most recent effort |
SPIRIT'S UNITE is top of the list. Augusta Blue is possibly starting to look exposed, and Liketheclappers has winning CD form.

(4)  Navy Strength | | | | | 6 | G Van Niekerk | J S Snaith | Finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (just under 4l) in a class 3 race last month (over 1m1f here) | ||
2nd (1)  Fibonacci | | | | | 4 | S Veale | V H Marshall | Has won here before but on a long losing run; behind Future Turn and Infrared (runner-up and third) here (class 3 race) finishing 10l behind the winner three weeks ago; opposable | ||
1st (6)  Pas De Nom | | | | | 5 | C Zackey | D Kannemeyer | A course winner; never landed a blow when eighth of nine latest (Scottsville) | ||
(3)  Salvator Mundi | | | | | 7 | R Fourie | J S Snaith | Hasn't won for a while; respectable effort to finish third in a class 3 race (over 1m1f here) last month, ahead of next-time-out winner Call To Unite; good record under R Fourie (partnership reunited here); if stepping up from most recent effort has to be high on list | ||
3rd (7)  Future Turn | | | | | 5 | J P v'd Merwe | J S Snaith | A winner over course and distance but a while since he has been in the winners' enclosure; had two of these rivals behind him in a class 3 race over C&D when involved in the finish at 7-2 last month | ||
(5)  Infrared | | | | | 4 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Creditable effort at 14-1 over C&D three weeks ago (class 3 race); scored over course and distance; has to be taken seriously | ||
(8)  Holding Thumbs | | | | | 4 | D Schwarz | G S Kotzen | Recorded first CD win latest; out to complete the hat-trick | ||
(2)  Scalini | | | | | 5 | G Wright | V H Marshall | On a long losing run; towards the rear of 13 in a class 3 race (over 7f here) last month; headgear worn last time discarded; not hard to turn elsewhere |
It may pay to side with INFRARED who has won once over this CD. However, this looks like a trappy affair; Salvator Mundi looks an obvious danger, and Holding Thumbs will not be without market support.

| (1) Grandiosa | | | | | 4 | A Andrews | C Bass-Robinson | Scored narrowly in a fillies race in a competitive contest (Kenilworth) five months ago; back from a break | ||
(2)  Maritzburg Memory | | | | | 3 | O Noach | V H Marshall | Not beaten that far (5l, went off 8-1) over C&D latest; others are preferred | ||
(6)  Jou Lekker Ding | | | | | 3 | S Veale | V H Marshall | Aiming for a second CD win after her success here last month | ||
(7)  Elizabeth Grace | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | J S Snaith | Progressing at a rate of knots; registered first success latest here over 5f, getting the job done by just under 2l | ||
| 1st (5) Go Like Flo | | | | | 5 | C Orffer | W A Nel | All wins have come going left handed and in good form prior to backwards step last time out; 11-2 chance when finishing ninth of 11 latest here over 7f | ||
(4)  In The Green Zone | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | J S Snaith | Not disgraced when sixth of nine in a fillies race over C&D three weeks ago; has to be respected | ||
| 3rd (8) Great Cat | | | | | 5 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | A winner over course and distance; turned in a solid effort in defeat last month, when second over C&D in what looked a strong fillies race; hard to dismiss | ||
2nd (3)  Polynomial | | | | | 3 | G Van Niekerk | G W Ennion | Finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (just over 4l) over C&D latest |
This looks a tight race but this can go to IN THE GREEN ZONE. CD winner Great Cat is respected.

3rd (7)  True Horizon | | | | | 4 | G Van Niekerk | A N Marcus | Creditable effort to finish fourth over this distance here (open race) three weeks ago; 15th attempt to lose maiden tag; hard to ignore if replicating most recent run | ||
| 1st (2) Jet Green | | | | | 4 | J P v'd Merwe | L Gila | Still without a win after 15 starts; solid effort when beaten 1l to finish runner-up over C&D last month and in front of three of these; could have a say if confirming promise shown last time | ||
2nd (3)  Hang Out The Stars | | | | | 5 | R Fourie | J M T Stewart | You have to go back a long way to find her only win; far from disgraced (beaten 1½l, draw was no help) here (7f) last Tuesday (had two of these rivals behind); clear chance if in the same mood as when second six races back | ||
(1)  Shout At The Moon | | | | | 4 | C Bantam | A D Steyn | Was ninth of 11, beaten 10l, (C&D) last month, finishing behind three of these rivals; hard to see her taking this as the headgear needs to prompt improvement | ||
(4)  Apple Catcher | | | | | 5 | D Ashby | P P Kruyer | Stepped up to 7f latest when finishing 11th of 12; makes no appeal | ||
(5)  Beneath The Moon | | | | | 5 | K Steyn | P Botha | Won by 1½l (this trip, Kenilworth, non-black type race) latest beating Look Forward; rates a likely contender | ||
| (6) Gondolaonthemolo | | | | | 3 | S Veale | V H Marshall | Finished last of 12 last month here (5f); no easy task | ||
(8)  United We Stand | | | | | 5 | G Wright | L Gila | Without a win after 22 attempts; not disgraced when fifth of 11 over C&D three weeks ago; should not be far away if replicating best efforts | ||
(9)  Look Forward | | | | | 5 | C Zackey | J M T Stewart | Out of the frame beaten just over 3l (went off 8-1) last Tuesday (over 7f here); one to note | ||
(10)  Black Path | | | | | 6 | O Noach | P D Wrensch | Finished towards the rear of 13 beaten 6l here last Tuesday; you have to go back a long way to find her only win; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role |
Look Forward should be in the mix, and Jet Green has seen her limitations exposed. However, HANG OUT THE STARS is a strong pick. She should be able to confirm placings with Look Forward and Black Path.
