|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1st (7)  True Design |  | | | | 2 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Towards the rear of 14 over C&D (fillies maiden juvenile plate) latest | ||
2nd (1)  Fantasy Girl | | | | | 2 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Not able to make an impression on her debut when attracting interest in the betting three months ago here at 7-2; she has a shout as has potential to improve | ||
(2)  Ginger Palace | | | | | 2 | Y Ramzan | G D Smith | Yard gets plenty of debutant winners; dam was a race winner; September foal; this one is best watched as she might have too much on her plate this time | ||
(3)  Global Scene | | | | | 2 | D Ashby | T J Laing | Could not finish better than seventh on her debut running here over 5f at 100-1 | ||
(4)  Project Runway | | | | | 2 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Creditable debut runner-up (at Fairview over 5f, 7-1), form boosted by the third going on to win; open to plenty of improvement and must be considered | ||
(5)  Tartan Queen | | | | | 2 | L Mxothwa | G D Smith | Yard has a good record with newcomers; September foal; stiff task against rivals with experience and easy enough to oppose | ||
| (6) Thread Of Life | | | | | 2 | R Danielson | T J Laing | Respectable effort on her debut (here, this trip, 33-1); more scope for improvement than some of these; could be in the mix |
This is an interesting race. Fantasy Girl should be in the mix despite a bad run last time while Thread Of Life is expected to take a forward step, but it can pay to side with PROJECT RUNWAY who has previous racecourse experience to her name.

2nd (5)  String Of Lights | | | | | 3 | D A McKenzie | Finished behind three of these rivals at Fairview Polytrack finishing towards the rear of 13 latest; without a win after 11 attempts | |||
3rd (1)  Fanny Kemble | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | S B Kotzen | Has run nine times without getting off the mark; upped to 1m in a fillies maiden plate in January at Kenilworth when finishing tenth of 12; first run for yard; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and needs considering | ||
1st (2)  Listentotheocean | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Solid effort in defeat to finish second after going off 20-1 in a fillies maiden plate latest (Kenilworth); form given substance by next-time-out winner; tenth attempt to break her duck; starts out for new yard; if stepping up from most recent effort should go well | ||
(3)  Gotcha Buzz | | | | | 3 | R Danielson | T J Laing | Had three of these behind (this trip, Fairview Polytrack, open race) last month when only just held (8-1); she should give it a bold bid if backing up last run | ||
(4)  Reunion Hotspot | | | | | 3 | X Ndlovu | A C Greeff | Eighth, not beaten that far (40-1, this distance Fairview Polytrack, open race) 21 days ago on debut for this trainer; capable of making an impact | ||
(6)  Winning Grace | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | K Mitchley | Long-standing maiden; solid effort when beaten 2l to finish third two months ago here over 7f; if stepping up from most recent effort likely to be in contention | ||
(7)  Bytheliteofthemoon | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Posted a good effort when fourth here last month; ran well from a poor draw at Fairview Polytrack latest when fourth beaten just over 1l; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and strong claims | ||
(8)  Queen Ofthe Palace | | | | | 3 | T Mayhew | D A McKenzie | Fair effort when beaten 3l in a fillies maiden plate last month on debut for new trainer here (dropped to 5f); should be thereabouts | ||
(9)  Ponte Vecchio | | | | | 4 | S Naidoo | K Mitchley | 22nd attempt to break her duck; suited by the removal of blinkers in a fillies maiden plate here (5f) when only just held (14-1) last month; should not be far away if confirming promise shown last time | ||
(10)  Love Song | | | | | 3 | K Minnie | A C Greeff | Held in fifth in a fillies maiden plate upped to 1m last month on her second outing for this trainer; hard to ignore | ||
(11)  Camaraderie | | | | | 3 | K J Lihaba | K Mitchley | Upped to 1m (fillies maiden plate) here making debut for this handler last month finishing 11th of 12; wears first-time blinkers | ||
(12)  Princess Raya | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Was ninth of ten, beaten 10l, latest (Kenilworth) stepped up to 1m1f; starts out for new yard; deserves respect | ||
(13)  Belltown | | | | | 3 | D B Geerthsen | D A McKenzie | First competitive racecourse experience; out of a dam who was a race winner; needs to run to a useful level if she is to trouble some of these; needs market confidence to make her of interest | ||
(14)  Dancing In Winter | | | | | 3 | D Schwarz | J L van Heerden | This doesn't look easy against more experienced rivals so easy enough to oppose; racecourse debut | ||
(15)  Free World | | | | | 3 | C Maujean | D A McKenzie | Well beaten eighth of 16 in a fillies maiden plate (C&D) latest; hard to fancy | ||
(16)  Galaxy Moment | | | | | 4 | Y Ramzan | L Lotz | Towards the rear beaten 15l 35 days ago here; not easy to fancy | ||
(17)  Hat's Lady | | | | | 3 | P Mxoli | J P Nel | Seemed to find life tough on her debut in February over this trip here (33-1); might be better for the experience although not hard to turn elsewhere | ||
(18)  Linda's Girl | | | | | 3 | D Ashby | T J Laing | Towards the rear beaten 20l in a fillies maiden plate over C&D latest; unlikely to pose a threat | ||
(19)  Five Star Magic | | | | | 4 | Reserve 1 | E Kaknis | Well beaten fourth of ten here (7f) two weeks ago; ought to give it a shot | ||
| (20) Elusive Hunter | | | | | 3 | Reserve 2 | E Kaknis | Finished behind Love Song (sixth) and Camaraderie (11th) latest when last here in a fillies maiden plate upped to 1m; may be plenty short enough in the betting |
BYTHELITEOFTHEMOON has to be the first name on the shortlist. Five Star Magic might have a say, and Winning Grace and Ponte Vecchio are perhaps not open to as much improvement as some of these.

| 2nd (8) Swiss Walt | | | | | 3 | T Mayhew | Z Oosthuizen | Without a win after 13 attempts; creditable effort when 33-1 third (Fairview Polytrack) latest; first start for new trainer; should not be ruled out if building on most recent effort | ||
1st (10)  Aquila Gold | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | K Mitchley | Not disgraced when fourth of ten (this trip Fairview Polytrack, maiden plate) 21 days ago on his second outing for this trainer; rates a likely contender | ||
3rd (9)  Colonel Green | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Beaten just over 4l when 11th of 16 but didn't run badly at 25-1 in an open race at Kenilworth in January running over this distance; first run for yard; expected to be in the thick of things if replicating best efforts | ||
(1)  Petteia | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Finished last of 14 in January at Kenilworth; makes debut for stable; should prove competitive despite defeat last time as ran well at Greyville Polytrack three runs back | ||
| (2) Anchor Man | | | | | 3 | D Schwarz | J L van Heerden | Makes competitive race debut; dam had winning form; stiff task against rivals with experience and he could be one for another day | ||
| (3) Mafiabagsthemoney | | | | | 4 | D B Geerthsen | E Kaknis | Held on his debut (here, this distance) in February (66-1); might be better for the experience although not hard to turn elsewhere | ||
(4)  Run For Me | | | | | 4 | K J Lihaba | G D Smith | Things didn't pan out for him when favourite (7l second) at Fairview Polytrack latest; strong showing at this venue when third last month; definitely of interest | ||
(5)  War Sword | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | D A McKenzie | Well-beaten third two months ago (over 7f here); a big player | ||
| (6) Gardener's Pride | | | | | 2 | D Ashby | T J Laing | Was sixth of seven on his debut (this distance, here, 150-1); receives weight-for-age allowance; could improve although needs to | ||
(7)  Captain Efficient | | | | | 3 | M V'Rensburg | W G C Miller | Finished fifth but only beaten 1½l here (5f) last month on his second outing for this trainer; yet to win, defeats are stacking up; likely player as has shown signs of promise | ||
(11)  Potent Captain | | | | | 3 | C Maujean | D A McKenzie | Finished ninth, beaten 5l, latest here (dropped to 5f) | ||
(12)  Lord Capulet | | | | | 3 | P Mxoli | J V A Strydom | Well beaten when seventh (open race) here (7f) 14 days ago; first-time blinkers | ||
(13)  Midnight Advocator | | | | | 4 | Y Ramzan | J P Nel | Couldn't land a blow when eighth of ten at Fairview Polytrack last month; without a win after 13 runs; he can be taken on | ||
| (14) Top Dollar | | | | | 4 | K Minnie | E Kaknis | Towards the rear beaten 13l last month (dropped to 5f); unlikely winner | ||
(15)  Smart View | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Safely held in seventh here over 7f two months ago | ||
(16)  Quiet Whisper | | | | | 3 | X Ndlovu | S B Kotzen | Finished last of 13 in an open race (Kenilworth) latest; first run for trainer; the only filly in the race; hard enough to fancy but needs headgear to galvanise her |
WAR SWORD is a firm choice. He can bounce back from an excusable blip. Run For Me competes off the back of some good runs while Swiss Walt is beginning to look exposed, and one to bear in mind is Petteia despite his current losing run.

3rd (8)  Head Gardener | | | | | 5 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Worth noting that all his wins have come racing right handed; narrow success in a handicap dropped down to this distance (Fairview Polytrack) five weeks ago with Pedro and Meetatthewindsor back in ninth and last on his second outing for this trainer; one to be interested in | ||
2nd (4)  Meetatthewindsor | | | | | 4 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Has won previously at this course; finished eighth dropped back to 6½f in a stakes race last Friday (Fairview Polytrack) when beaten just under 4l | ||
1st (5)  Pedro | | | | | 5 | R Danielson | T J Laing | Consistency hasn't been his strong suit but has been running well here recently; finished ninth, beaten 9l by Head Gardener (this distance, Fairview Polytrack, handicap) last month when leaving backers at 33-20 frustrated despite a favourable draw | ||
(1)  Alado's Pride | | | | | 6 | T Mayhew | Z Oosthuizen | Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Fairview Polytrack (beaten 4½l at 6-1) five weeks ago; has won here before; should not be far away | ||
(2)  Heknows | | | | | 5 | L Mxothwa | G D Smith | Gained an overdue success (Fairview Polytrack, this trip, maiden plate) on first run for current trainer 21 days ago, winning with plenty in hand; recorded sole career win when competing on all-weather | ||
(3)  Launch Code | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | K Mitchley | Ran respectably at 16-1 over C&D in February; only career win was on all-weather; in with a shout | ||
(6)  Godfather | | | | | 4 | D B Geerthsen | K Mitchley | Towards the rear beaten 5l (Scottsville) two months ago; a long time since his last win; first run for trainer; was an encouraging runner-up six races ago and if in the same mood should not be ruled out | ||
| (7) San Quintin | | | | | 5 | M V'Rensburg | E Kaknis | Comfortably held in eighth in a stakes race latest (over 1m1½f here); others appeal more | ||
(9)  Legal Chitchat | | | | | 4 | P Mxoli | J V A Strydom | Finished seventh dropped back to 6½f on first run for this trainer latest (Fairview Polytrack) when beaten a fair way (5½l); been generally quiet since successful in an open race at Kenilworth last May; easy enough to take on | ||
(10)  Kavian's Cara | | | | | 6 | D Ashby | T J Laing | Finished towards the rear of 13 over C&D five weeks ago; all three wins going right handed and brings winning form over course and distance to the table; others more likely | ||
| (11) Valyrian Sword | | | | | 3 | K J Lihaba | E Kaknis | Has winning form at this course but been generally quiet since successful in a maiden plate at Fairview in September; finished 11th of 12 35 days ago (over 7f here); has to prove this trip is what he wants and others make more appeal | ||
(12)  Silent Whisperer | | | | | 3 | X Ndlovu | S B Kotzen | Sprang 150-1 surprise (over 7f here) when opening her account in February on debut outing for new trainer |
This looks tight but LAUNCH CODE is preferred. Godfather would be a threat if returning to form, and Alado's Pride is respected based on course form.

1st (6)  Kilmonivaig | | | | | 4 | R Danielson | T J Laing | Soundly beaten when fifth in a fillies handicap latest at Fairview Polytrack; a regular here; achieved only a sole win; opposable | ||
| 2nd (11) Jade's Caberneigh | | | | | 4 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Only win came on all-weather but producing consistent form; finished fourth dropped back to 5f in a fillies handicap when not beaten too far last month here | ||
| 3rd (7) The Lady Love | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Has won here before; finished runner-up dropped back to 5f two weeks ago; down in class and likely to take plenty of beating | ||
4th (13)  De Janeiro | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | K Mitchley | On a lengthy losing run; disappointing to see her finish sixth latest given market expectations in a fillies handicap (over 7f here) on her second outing for this trainer; now competing off a lower mark; no surprise to see her go well if replicating best efforts | ||
(1)  Miss Shaivi | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Had a couple of these behind her when fourth here (fillies handicap) 14 days ago on debut for new trainer; largely disappointing since successful in a fillies maiden juvenile plate at Greyville last May; she shouldn't be far away | ||
(2)  Komesans Passion | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | G D Smith | Well held 12th of 16 over C&D (fillies handicap) latest; has won here before but not really built on success in a fillies maiden plate last June at Fairview; others more appealing | ||
(3)  Variety Breeze | | | | | 6 | T Mayhew | J P Nel | A long time since her last success; upped to 6½f in a fillies handicap last month when well held finishing third at Fairview Polytrack; has a chance | ||
| (4) Lady Chatterley | | | | | 3 | K Minnie | A C Greeff | Registered first success scoring narrowly on first run for her current trainer last month at Fairview Polytrack; first run in a handicap | ||
(5)  Piton De Neige | | | | | 3 | C Maujean | D A McKenzie | Finished tenth, beaten a fair distance, over C&D two weeks ago (fillies handicap); recorded her sole career win on all-weather and not made much of an impact recently in handicaps; she can be taken on | ||
(8)  Fairy Circle | | | | | 3 | M V'Rensburg | W G C Miller | Not always shown an awful lot since winning a fillies maiden plate at Turffontein Standside five months ago; towards the rear beaten 21l (fillies handicap) latest at Vaal (dropped to 7f); makes debut for stable; looks no easy task but needs headgear to galvanise her | ||
| (9) Mediteraneangoddes | | | | | 5 | D Schwarz | E Kaknis | Towards the rear of 13 (fillies handicap) here (5f) 42 days ago; recorded her sole career win on all-weather; handicapper easing the burden; hard to entertain | ||
(10)  Jambo Sana | | | | | 3 | S Naidoo | G D Smith | Sole career win came on all-weather and generally modest form since fillies maiden juvenile plate success at Fairview Polytrack last May; found life tough when just over 5l back in seventh in a fillies handicap here (5f) last month; has eased in the weights; not hard to turn elsewhere | ||
(12)  Kileigh's Fate | | | | | 6 | P Mxoli | J V A Strydom | Finished towards the rear of 14 over C&D two weeks ago (fillies handicap) on her second outing for this trainer; all four wins going right handed; blinkers return after left off last time but looks opposable |
THE LADY LOVE is top of the list. She bids for a second course success. Variety Breeze is capable of running well but the losing run is disheartening while De Janeiro poses a big threat, and Miss Shaivi is likely to be popular with punters.

| 3rd (11) Princess Deb'S | | | | | 5 | C Maujean | D A McKenzie | Finished tenth dropped to 5f (Fairview Polytrack) 38 days ago; has won here before; has a lot of course experience; unlikely to pose a threat | ||
2nd (2)  Gimme's Lassie | | | | | 4 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Fifth behind Three Rocks over C&D in a fillies Listed race two months ago; has not been in the winners' enclosure for a while now; first start for new trainer; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and should prove competitive | ||
1st (1)  Three Rocks | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Claimed a second CD win two months ago when successful by 1l; has strong claims now dropping in class | ||
(3)  Golden Pacific | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Second favourite but out of the money at Fairview Polytrack three weeks ago; has won here before; not the biggest surprise to see her go well | ||
(4)  Ancient Epic | | | | | 5 | D Schwarz | M L Turner | Ninth of 12 at Fairview Polytrack last month on first run for her current trainer; not hard to turn elsewhere | ||
(5)  Passchendaele | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | K Mitchley | Won by 3l second time out for this trainer last month (Fairview Polytrack, dropped to 6½f), readily accounting for Summer Odyssey; ought to be competitive | ||
| (6) Summer Odyssey | | | | | 3 | X Ndlovu | A C Greeff | Has won here but no winning form at this distance; not disgraced when sixth last month when dropped to 5f at Fairview Polytrack | ||
(7)  Aunty Lizzy | | | | | 5 | P Mxoli | J V A Strydom | Not beaten too far at 25-1 when seventh of 12 (Fairview Polytrack) 21 days ago on her second outing for this trainer; has not been in the winners' enclosure for a while now; hard enough to fancy | ||
(8)  Oriental Bouquet | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | A C Greeff | Behind a bunch of these on her first start for this trainer last month (Fairview Polytrack) when finishing tenth of 12; looks vulnerable | ||
(9)  Lady Majorca | | | | | 3 | D Ashby | J P Nel | Soundly beaten when eighth in a stakes race here (7f) two weeks ago despite a favourable draw; has winning form at this course; far from solid | ||
| (10) European Summer | | | | | 5 | M V'Rensburg | E Kaknis | Fair effort 21 days ago at Fairview Polytrack, finishing in front of several of these; has won here before and has a couple of good recent course efforts to her name |
THREE ROCKS is a firm tip. She is taken to confirm placings with Gimme's Lassie, Golden Pacific and Summer Odyssey and has won twice over this CD.

| 2nd (7) Silvonian | | | | | 2 | C Maujean | G D Smith | Progressing at a rate of knots; successful by just over 2l to claim first CD win two months ago | ||
2nd (4)  Kingdundee | | | | | 2 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Caused a debut surprise when landing a juvenile plate over 5f by just over 1l at 40-1; his victims included Frosty Reception, Play Act and Ravilious | ||
| 1st (9) Splicethemainbrace | | | | | 2 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Progressing at a rate of knots and completed her hat-trick last time; aiming for a second CD win after her success here five weeks ago; a leading player | ||
(1)  Family Law | | | | | 2 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Narrow 33-1 maiden juvenile plate winner on his debut here in February beating Silvonian | ||
| (2) Global State | | | | | 2 | S Naidoo | G D Smith | Recorded first CD win two weeks ago; progressing well | ||
(3)  Golden Rule | | | | | 2 | S Khumalo | K Mitchley | Successful by just over 3l to claim first CD win last month | ||
(5)  Play Act | | | | | 2 | M V'Rensburg | W G C Miller | Not beaten too far (just under 2l) here (5f) last month, a race won by the reopposing Kingdundee; looks no easy task as facing a tougher assignment this time | ||
(6)  Ravilious | | | | | 2 | P Mxoli | J V A Strydom | Creditable fourth last month (over 5f here), behind the reopposing Kingdundee; hard to fancy as tougher task in this company | ||
(8)  Frosty Reception | | | | | 2 | L Mxothwa | S B Kotzen | Not beaten far (over 5f here) behind Kingdundee four weeks ago; has to be considered despite this step up in class |
SPLICETHEMAINBRACE is hard to get away from. She is chasing a second win over this CD and is still unbeaten. Silvonian is one to consider while there should be plenty of market support for Golden Rule, and Frosty Reception rates a serious threat.

| 1st (9) Symbol Of Love | | | | | 3 | R Danielson | E Kaknis | A course winner; towards the rear of 14 two weeks ago here | ||
| 2nd (7) Captain Tik Tok | | | | | 4 | K J Lihaba | G D Smith | Goes for a hat-trick; successful by half a length to claim first CD win in January; handicapper increases the burden; should go close | ||
3rd (8)  Ferrando | | | | | 5 | S Khumalo | K Mitchley | CD winner including when successful by 2½l 14 days ago; every chance despite having more on his plate | ||
| (1) Act Naturally | | | | | 4 | T Mayhew | Z Oosthuizen | Came home ninth, beaten 13l, in December (over 7f here); has been dropped in the weights; facing a tougher assignment this time, looks risky | ||
(2)  Global Lady | | | | | 3 | X Ndlovu | A C Greeff | A course winner; towards the rear beaten 13l (over 6f here) latest; this only her second start in handicap company; with more on her plate one to tread carefully with | ||
(3)  Pompei Warning | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | G D Smith | Has won previously at this course; missed out by half a length sent off 33-10 at Fairview Polytrack last month in what looked a warm handicap; needs to be respected now dropping in class | ||
| (4) Colloidal Gold | | | | | 4 | C Maujean | D A McKenzie | Lightly raced; creditable ninth, beaten just over 2l, of 14 over this trip (handicap) on his first start for this trainer three months ago, a race won by the reopposing Captain Tik Tok; this just his second run in a handicap; may have to settle for supporting role | ||
(5)  Glass Shoes | | | | | 4 | L Mxothwa | S B Kotzen | Couldn't land a blow when fifth of ten five weeks ago upped to 6½f at Fairview Polytrack; has won here before; must be respected despite defeat last time as finished second at Fairview Polytrack two runs back | ||
| (6) Great Melody | | | | | 5 | M Yeni | G D Smith | Course specialist who has won four times here; finished fourth but only beaten 2½l (handicap) at Fairview Polytrack latest; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and should be thereabouts | ||
(10)  Notorix | | | | | 5 | D Ashby | J P Nel | Largely disappointing since successful in a stakes race at Fairview Polytrack six months ago; has only won on all-weather; not beaten too far at 6-1 when sixth of eight (handicap) last month (Fairview Polytrack) | ||
(11)  Seattle Ripper | | | | | 3 | D Schwarz | K Mitchley | Creditable effort in eighth (beaten just over 2l, handicap) at Fairview Polytrack last month; not always shown an awful lot since winning a maiden plate at Scottsville in July; makes little appeal despite dropping in class | ||
(12)  Cruzador | | | | | 5 | S Naidoo | G D Smith | Towards the rear of 15 in a handicap in February at Fairview Polytrack; has won here before but on a long losing run; easily dismissed | ||
(13)  Looking Hot | | | | | 5 | Y Ramzan | J P Nel | Finished towards the rear of 14 here over 6f two weeks ago; has won here; this looks a tough ask as faces a stiffer task | ||
(14)  Masked Vigilante | | | | | 5 | R Fourie | A C Greeff | Finished towards the rear of 16 (Kenilworth) two months ago; first run for trainer | ||
| (15) Georgie George | | | | | 5 | M V'Rensburg | W G C Miller | Scored narrowly in a handicap on first run for his current trainer last month here (6f), form which has been advertised since; risen up the weights; this represents a step up in class but should prove competitive | ||
| (16) Mister Whistle | | | | | 3 | P Mxoli | E Kaknis | Been generally quiet since successful in an open race at Fairview Polytrack six months ago and recorded sole career win when competing on all-weather; well behind Pompei Warning (sixth) in a handicap at Fairview Polytrack when beaten a fair way (13l) last month; not hard to look beyond him despite dropping in class |
FERRANDO looks a solid choice. He is bidding to land a second win over this CD. Glass Shoes would be a threat if returning to form while a hike in the weights makes life harder for Captain Tik Tok, and Pompei Warning competes off the back of some good runs.
