SA HORSERACING.COM CONGRATULATES PIERE STRYDOM
ON HIS FANTASTIC MILESTONE. ONCE AGAIN, YOU HAVE
DONE SOUTH AFRICA PROUD.

an eye on the betting.

– ECURIA (5); 4th - MISS FIREFLY (6); 5th – RIBOT'S REBEL (2)
RACE 2
LILY GRAY ran on well on the polytrack last time. Was well
fancied that day. MISS PIUS ran her best run last time despite
having injured her mouth in running. Chance again this
afternoon. ROY'S DONKEY has had two fair runs but needs to
find a better finish from somewhere. CAPTAIN KING races
handily but weakens late. STRAW MAN appears to have lost
form. Only places have been the two seconds she managed
this C & D.
1st – LILY GRAY (2/1 F) (10); 2nd – MISS PIUS (9); 3rd – ROY'S
DONKEY (8); 4th - CAPTAIN KING (5); 5th – STRAW MAN (7)
RACE 3
SALANDER is my outsider for the meeting. She has finished
second or third in 60% of all her races. Has been running on.
Ran on well last time despite having received a bump at the
start. Looks to be excellent value at current odds of 11/1. I
will be taking each way bets on her. Watch the betting on the
first timer, FIERY GODDESS, who is current ante post
favourite. SPANGLE weakened late last time when making an
excellent debut. The shorter trip to suit. SAFFRON makes her
debut. Watch the betting. SORBONNE runs for the thirtieth
time as a maiden. Some fair form.
1st – SALANDER (11/1) (2); 2nd – FIERY GODDESS (5/2 F) (9);
3rd – SPANGLE (15); 4th - SAFFRON (14); 5th – SORBONNE (1)
RACE 4
SILVER HONEY has improved in her three runs to date. Looks
hard to beat on latest. PENA PALACE ran on strongly last time
and just failed to catch ICONIC DREAM. RAVISHING LILLY was
slow on debut last time. Did get going late despite having
raced green. Watch for significant improvement this time
around. TENDERWOOD has ability and a chance if finding a
good finish. DEVON BELLE has had two good runs. Yard is
finding very good form.
1st – SILVER HONEY (5/2 F) (4); 2nd – PENA PALACE (6); 3rd –
RAVISHING LILLY (12); 4th - TENDERWOOD (1); 5th – DEVON
BELLE (10)
RACE 5
CHILLINGHAM never showed his only run this distance at this
track. However, he has shown improvement since that run
and should be an involved runner. Has been running on in his
last two starts. SHOW ME HEAVEN raced wide last time but
still managed to run on. The blinkers go on. YOUR WORSHIP
has been racing very well with the blinkers. She may improve
with them removed! C & D suited. ICEOLITE cast a shoe in
running last time. Ran an improved run that day. NISHAC also
cast a shoe in running last time. Fair form. Can earn.
RACE 6
ZHIVAGO has been running on well. First time on this outer
track. Should go close again. First time this far. Should get the
distance. BEEWITHMEE ran on well to win last time despite
having cast a shoe in running. Every chance of repeating.
WARCRAFT is never far back and knows how to finish well.
NORDIC JET has not won for a while but has been a consistent
runner. INNATE QUALITY showed form return last time.
Respect.
1st – ZHIVAGO (3/1 F) (3); 2nd – BEEWITHMEE (2); 3rd –
WARCRAFT (6); 4th - NORDIC JET (5); 5th – INNATE
QUALITY (4)
RACE 7
LILLY'S RUSH ran on strongly to win by over two lengths
against slightly weaker last time. KEISATSU takes a big drop in
class. Weakened badly last time but this company should
make her job that much easier. Has been running on over
shorter. The extra should just about suit. PROPER POSH won
her maiden very easily last time. That was her fifth attempt.
May need to confirm. DIVERSIFY has moderate post maiden
form. Minor money chance. ASCOT CHARM showed
improvement last time.
1st – LILLY'S RUSH (9/2) (4); 2nd – KEISATSU (31/20 F) (1); 3rd
– PROPER POSH (2); 4th - DIVERSIFY (3); 5th – ASCOT CHARM
(5)
RACE 8
At this stage only four horses will be lining up at the start.
ADMIRAL'S EYE faded badly last time. Has the class to win in a
small field, where the pace could be crucial. SUREFIRE was
returning to the track after a five month break last time. Was
not himself. Should be a fitter proposition this afternoon.
SUPERCEDE won against weaker last time. Unbeaten this C &
D (2 from 2). The upset package in this small field. CAPTAIN'S
DAUGHTER has improved in her last two. Latest run was a
good one in a feature on the sand. Cannot ignore!
1st – ADMIRAL'S EYE (17/10 F) (1); 2nd – SUREFIRE (5); 3rd –
SUPERCEDE (2); 4th - CAPTAIN'S DAUGHTER (3)
RACE 9
JET ON FIRE won in a similar field by four lengths last time
over the C & D. Even though that run was in July, he does
look hard to beat. LIBERTINE is never far back but steps up in
class. Mass and jockey to help. KINGS GOLD is steady but did
have his excuses last time. XERXES may benefit from the drop
on class. Did not show at this track last time. COMMODITY
STRIKE has his problems but can never be ignored.
1st – JET ON FIRE (31/20 F) (2); 2nd – LIBERTINE (5); 3rd –
KINGS GOLD (7); 4th - XERXES (1); 5th – COMMODITY STRIKE
(3)
RACE 10
CLEAR SAILING has very good and consistent form. Only run
where she never showed was at this track. Give another
chance on recent form. PEACE AGAIN could be anything after
her debut win last time when starting at 10/1/ Yard in good
and improving form. THE QUEEN won very easily last time.
Yard in excellent form. Cannot be ignored. Will be finishing
strongly. KEPT SECRET ran well on the polytrack in her last
two. FLYING LOOT finished well, but far too late last time.
That run was this C & D.
1st – CLEAR SAILING (13/10 F) (1); 2nd – PEACE AGAIN (7);
3rd – THE QUEEN (2); 4th - KEPT SECRET (4); 5th – FLYING
LOOT (8)
RACE 11
MOGOKITY has really been running well, especially over
today's distance. Should go close again. DIANA'S JET was
heavily backed last time but ran a poor race. Chance on the
support shown last time. PEARL EMBLEM is improving with
each run. Latest effort was a very promising one. ARS
POETICA made a fair debut last time when starting at 33/1.
CAPE GREY has not been too far off them in her last two.
1st – MOGOKITY (5/1) (6); 2nd – DIANA'S JET (5/2 F) (5); 3rd –
PEARL EMBLEM (4); 4th - ARS POETICA (11); 5th – CAPE GREY
