RACE 1 (1,000M) (4) CORK BAY confirmed the promise of his course-and-distance debut third with a second over this track and trip last time. (9) GIMMEATHRILL and (7) ELSINORE would have come on after encouraging introduction.
(6) GOOD SHINE showed pace, before tiring, over 1,250m. Shorter trip may be more to his liking.
RACE 2 (1,000M) Well-bred newcomers (10) PREDATRICE and (7) FLIGHT OF A CONDOR need not be special to play leading roles on debut.
(4) CYBER SPIRIT and (2) BILINGUAL have the experience to make their presence felt but must improve to challenge.
RACE 3 (1,800M) (1) RAPIDASH has had the measure of (4) LOVE IS A ROSE (twice), (2) PACAYA and (6) OTTO LUYKEN recently but is worse off at the weights against them.
RACE 4 (1,000M) (1) LETS PLAY POKER ran second in four of his six starts, including back-to-back recent outings.
(7) RONDEBOSCH (recently gelded) and (5) KWAGGA BLITZ filled the minor spots last time and will fight for victory.
(6) DWIGHT EISENHOWER appeals most of the remainder.
RACE 5 (1,400M) (5) DOUBLE GRAND SLAM thrived in KZN, winning at Grade 3 and Grade 2 level before finishing third in a 1,600m Grade 1. Trip and weight suit on her return.
(1) PRINCESS IZZY ran third recently in a course-and-distance Grade 3. Should make her presence felt again off an unchanged mark.
(6) RED PALACE is two from two at this venue and races off a career-high mark after a 2,000m Grade 2 win in KZN last time.
Last-start winner (2) FATAL GEM, who has a good record racing fresh from a break, has claims.
RACE 6 (1,600M) (5) DANCE KING has progressed in two starts after gelding and he should have more to offer over this trip in his peak outing.
(7) MILAN'S WORLD can improve after gelding operation.
(1) JABBERWOCKY was game in defeat when second over track and trip last time but in moderate company. Will still need to improve.
