1st (2) Ignitethelight
3R FourieA C GreeffThis just her third race; last of seven (Turffontein) upped to this trip six months ago in a juvenile plate; returns from a layoff; breeding catches the eye and she isn't without hope.
(3) Tartan Queen
3C ZackeyG D SmithBlinkers not worked so well in last two races but has displayed improved form on last two starts; split Royal Venus and Tune Again two weeks ago when beaten just over 4l in third in a conditional maiden; is respected with the potential to save ground from this gate.
(4) Tune Again
6M V'RensburgL LotzGood and bad recent runs found on her CV and has hit the crossbar on multiple occasions but remains without a win; fair effort when beaten just under 5l, finishing fifth of seven two weeks ago in a conditional maiden.
(5) Opera Verse
4D SchwarzD A McKenzieFinished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (5l) over 5f here (maiden plate) when she had a couple of these behind last month on debut for this trainer; shown only moderate recent form; not hard to turn elsewhere.
(6) Royal Venus
5C MaujeanT J LaingFinished second of seven in a conditional maiden (had Tartan Queen and Tune Again behind) 15 days ago; long-standing maiden; can be on the premises.
(7) Forest Fantasy
4Y RamzanL LotzLast of ten 15 days ago in a handicap; still looking to open her account after seven runs; easy enough to take on.
(8) Choc' Late
4D B GeerthsenD A McKenzieLargely been out of sorts and winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at nine; held when seventh beaten 6l here over 5f (maiden plate) between Opera Verse and Tune Again last month on debut for this trainer.


TARTAN QUEEN is the selection. She was behind Royal Venus last time but can now reverse placings. Cape Flower is one to be interested in while Ignitethelight needs to be considered, and Royal Venus has been stacking up some good efforts.

2nd (5) Brooksider
3D SchwarzD A McKenzieBeaten fifth of nine (Durbanville) two months ago in a maiden juvenile plate; he can be taken on.
1st (3) Nikes Ray Of Light
3C ZackeyG D SmithSolid effort two months ago in a maiden juvenile plate; if he can build on his latest effort then by no means ruled out.
(1) And Action
4R FourieA C GreeffHas arguably shown improved form the last twice; ran well to finish third (beaten just over 1l) two weeks ago in a maiden plate; latest effort was encouraging so he is a serious player.
(2) Hat Hot Hat
4M V'RensburgW G C MillerCan be a player at this level and has been consistent of late; fair effort (beaten just over 2l) six weeks ago in a maiden plate; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then not ruled out.
(4) Colonel Green
4C HabibG D SmithCan be a player at this level and appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; not beaten too far when fourth here when close behind And Action in a maiden plate two weeks ago; should be on the premises as shown promise on occasion.
(6) Heart Of Thieves
5D B GeerthsenJ V A Strydom16th attempt to lose maiden tag; not disgraced when third of seven dropped down to 7f two weeks ago in a conditional maiden; others more persuasive.


Hat Hot Hat is respected while Nikes Ray Of Light poses a serious threat to the tip. But AND ACTION is a firm choice. He is taken to come out on top off the back of his latest effort.

2nd (5) Catch Your Breath
4K MinnieA C GreeffManaged two wins in her last five outings; produced a string of consistent efforts; fourth 11 days ago, only beaten less than a length, in a handicap.
1st (1) Gimme's Lassie
5C ZackeyG D SmithFound one too strong when beaten a short head in a graduation plate last month; consistent lately; hard to ignore with the potential to save ground from this gate and there was plenty to like about her latest performance.
(2) Montelena
4C HabibG D SmithQuite a while since she tasted success; beaten 6l into third last month in a handicap.
(3) Back For More
4X NdlovuA C GreeffDidn't quite live up to market expectations at 4-5 when fourth in a graduation plate three weeks ago; she's an attractive contender.
(4) Ellorix
4L MxothwaA C GreeffMinor honours when 6-4 in a handicap 11 days ago; has chalked up two wins from her last three; big chance from a positive draw.
(6) Summer Odyssey
4R FourieA C GreeffNot beaten that far in sixth (3½l) when close behind Gimme's Lassie in April in a stakes race; layoff to overcome; can figure.
(7) Idita
4D B GeerthsenG D SmithNot far behind Gimme's Lassie when eighth in a stakes race 53 days ago; facing a testing assignment and looks opposable.
(8) White Hills
4D SchwarzJ P NelSubpar record of 1-16; held when seventh of ten in a handicap behind Ellorix, 11 days ago; this looks a decent race so is passed over.


Back For More isn't out of it while Summer Odyssey could give the main tip a headache. But ELLORIX looks the one to back. She looks set for a bold bid from a prime draw and has been successful at this track before.

1st (7) Galaxy Moment
5Y RamzanJ P NelSolid run when third at 40-1 last month upped to 1m1½f; has kicked on in her last couple of races but gone nine races without a win.
3rd (2) Ice Cap
4C ZackeyG D SmithBelow par when beaten just under 4l three weeks ago in a maiden plate; prospects from a positive draw.
2nd (1) Elusive Mata
4L MxothwaS B KotzenHad a couple of these behind her when runner-up here in a maiden plate last month upped to this distance; clear chance if building on last performance.
(3) Beijing Boulevard
4S KhathiK MitchleySplit Elusive Mata (second) and Alta Lekker (fifth) posting a respectable display to finish third last month in a maiden plate; stepped up on her last two starts; assuming she steps up from most recent effort then one to be interested in.
(4) Accumulate
4C HabibG D SmithDefeats piling up (0-18); was third of five, beaten 6l, in a conditional maiden two weeks ago upped to 1m2f; ground-saving trip a possibility from her draw so could go well.
(5) Dirty Mimosa
3K MinnieJ V A StrydomOut of the frame when fifth in a maiden plate on Friday upped to 1m3f; defeats piling up (0-12); a few rivals look in good form so hard enough to fancy.
(6) Natural Wonder
3D B GeerthsenJ V A StrydomOut of the frame (beaten 3½l in fourth) over 6½f here (maiden) four days ago; still searching for her first win after ten attempts; others are preferred with a number of her rivals in good nick.
(8) Alta Lekker
4C MaujeanS B KotzenFifth of six beaten 10l in a maiden plate when behind two of these last month; lightly raced (running for just the fourth time); others have more pressing claims.
(9) Take Your Time
3X NdlovuZ OosthuizenMissed the frame (beaten 11l into seventh) over 6f here (maiden plate) 11 days ago; best she's managed so far is fourth from four career starts.


Accumulate lines up on the back of some good efforts while Ice Cap and Accumulate have fared well with the draw and are interesting. But ELUSIVE MATA is fancied for this. She is a leading player based on the strength of her most recent run and can confirm superiority with Beijing Boulevard and Alta Lekker who were behind her when last seen.

2nd (6) Head Gardener
6C ZackeyG D SmithNo threat to winner, Walt Whitman, here two weeks ago (finished fourth) over 1m3f (handicap); infrequent winner.
3rd (4) Slainte Mhath
4L MxothwaS B KotzenHad four of these in arrears scoring narrowly 50 days ago upped to 1m1½f; off a higher mark; likely player.
1st (7) San Quintin
6E WebberE KaknisBehind Walt Whitman over 1m3f here (handicap) when on the premises, finishing second at 7-1 two weeks ago.
(1) Crystal Maiden
4X NdlovuA C GreeffThis is her grade; solid effort when beaten just under 2l to finish sixth five weeks ago; she is the only female runner; not dismissed if duplicating the form of her most recent win.
(2) Walt Whitman
3R FourieA C GreeffAccounted for San Quintin and Head Gardener over 1m3f here (handicap) when a just over 1l winner two weeks ago; successful twice in his last three starts; competing off a higher mark but running in a handicap for just the second time; leading contender despite this step up in class.
(3) The Inkosana
6C HabibG D SmithHas chalked up two wins from his last three; landed a narrow success in a stakes race 50 days ago; interesting.
(5) Maldano
4S KhathiK MitchleyOne win to his name was achieved a fair way back and form has an uneven look to it; finished fifth 15 days ago albeit only beaten just under 2l over 1m (handicap).
(8) 'o Captain
4D B GeerthsenJ V A StrydomFinished just behind Maldano when sixth over 1m here (handicap) 15 days ago; this looks a decent race so hard to recommend.
(9) San Marzano
5C MaujeanT J LaingFinished 11th of 12 over 1m1½f at Greyville (handicap) 48 days ago; may have to settle for supporting role as this is a fairly competitive event.


The Inkosana isn't out of it while Slainte Mhath is on the shortlist. But WALT WHITMAN is strongly fancied to come out on top. He has won here twice before and can confirm placings with San Quintin and Head Gardener, who were behind him when last seen.

3rd (9) Purple Operator
6M V'RensburgW G C MillerLast of eight over 7f here (handicap) last month; looking for the sixth success of his career.
2nd (5) Eyjafjallajokull
5Y RamzanG D SmithClose up second over 7f here (handicap) five weeks ago; been raised a little in the ratings; likely to be involved despite this step up in class.
1st (6) Masked Vigilante
6R FourieA C GreeffNot beaten far here over 7f (stakes race) 11 days ago; showing consistent form; strong claims.
(2) Cool Winter
5X NdlovuA C GreeffCould not manage better than seventh over 6f here (handicap) 46 days ago; could be in the mix as shown some ability on occasion and the draw has been kind.
(3) Lily Of The Nile
4K MinnieA C GreeffDidn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just under 5l) over 6f (handicap) two months ago; others more likely.
(4) Grey Smoke
4C MaujeanT J LaingCreditable effort to finish fifth, beaten half a length when behind the reopposing Purple Operator over 6f (handicap) in July; largely disappointing since successful in a handicap at Fairview in February.
(7) El Romiachi
8D SchwarzZ OosthuizenSixth beaten 7l over 7f here (handicap) last month; form has an uneven look to it but winner of four races at this venue.
(8) Igugulethu
4C ZackeyG D SmithSeems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; finished last of 11 two weeks ago in a novice plate; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.


MASKED VIGILANTE is a firm selection. He usually runs a solid race and has won once at this venue previously. Cool Winter is well drawn and warrants respect while Purple Operator is one to consider, and Eyjafjallajokull is potentially a big threat.

2nd (2) Swiss Walt
4D SchwarzZ OosthuizenCreditable effort in fourth (beaten just over 2l) in a handicap four days ago; could be interesting if able to find the same level as when recording last success and ground-saving trip a possibility from his draw.
3rd (4) Charlie Malone
5C MaujeanG D SmithCreditable effort to finish third here over 6½f (stakes race) when separating a number of reopposing rivals 21 days ago; handy stall number so must be respected.
1st (3) Coastal Path
5R FourieA C GreeffHad three of these behind here over 6½f (stakes race) when a close second last month; infrequent winner; a major contender as recent effort was encouraging.
(6) Mr Bodacious
5C HabibG D SmithClose up behind Great Times when last over 5f here (handicap) two weeks ago; form has been a bit mixed lately and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in February); others more likely with a number of his rivals in good nick.
(7) Justcantgetenough
4L MxothwaS B KotzenUseful at this level; finished last of eight in a graduation plate 25 days ago; useful partnership with this jockey, back together here.
(8) Winning Captain
5D B GeerthsenJ V A StrydomFifth beaten 7l when close behind Great Times on Friday in a handicap; easy to oppose as has a lot on his plate here.
(9) Bennelong Point
5C ZackeyG D SmithBeaten half a length two weeks ago.
(1) Pashtunwali
6M V'RensburgW G C MillerSeason-ticket holder here with three wins; split a number of these rivals over 6½f here (stakes race) 21 days ago; easy to see him making an impression.
(5) Lady Crusade
5K MinnieA C GreeffGrade looks suitable; finished seventh, beaten 8l, three weeks ago behind Swiss Walt, in a handicap; only female in race.


Swiss Walt has a cracking draw while Pashtunwali, Charlie Malone and Swiss Walt are C&D winners. But COASTAL PATH is expected to get the job done. He appeals based on the strength of his latest effort and has won over this C&D.

1st (2) Kabon Kapi
5L MxothwaZ OosthuizenWent down by 2½l when third last month in a handicap; has run well in defeat a number of times; warrants respect if backing up last run and good draw could make things easier.
2nd (1) Ella's Delight
5S KhathiK MitchleyLooking for the fourth success of her career; not far behind Miss Shaivi when fifth 11 days ago in a handicap; handily drawn so has to be respected.
3rd (5) Miss Shaivi
4C ZackeyG D SmithFair form when just under 4l third over 6f here (handicap) with Ella's Delight just behind 11 days ago; very interesting with draw a positive and she has shown signs of promise recently.
(3) Can't Say No
3X NdlovuA C GreeffNot beaten too far when seventh of nine dropped down to 6½f last month in a stakes race; has to be taken seriously with a good draw to help and she knows how to win.
(6) Si Gioca
4R FourieA C GreeffBeen a while since she achieved her only career win; respectable effort in a handicap in July; needs to be respected given there is limited recent form on offer in this race and handicapper has cut her some slack.
(7) Project Runway
3C HabibG D SmithUnable to land a blow when seventh of nine in a handicap last month; last two efforts in this headgear not so encouraging.
(8) Vision Of Will
6M V'RensburgP M GadsbyUseful at this level and is a specialist at this trip; not disgraced in fourth in a handicap at Greyville last month.
(9) Bretty
3C MaujeanW G C MillerTowards the rear of 14 over 5½f here (handicap) last month; makes limited appeal.
(10) Kileigh's Fate
7K MinnieJ V A StrydomSolid effort when beaten 1½l to finish fourth over 7f here (handicap) 15 days ago; hasn't won for a while.


Ella's Delight has run well previously over this C&D, and Si Gioca has seen her limitations exposed. However, MISS SHAIVI is strongly fancied to come out on top. She should be able to confirm placings with Ella's Delight.
