RACE 1 (1,160M) (3) DESERT CLOUD finished second to subsequent Grade 1 runner-up Rodeo Drive on debut.
(5) GERBERA and (10) MY ONE AND ONLY were backed on debut and would have come on with the benefit of those promising runs.
(1) FASTNET FILLY showed enough in the Western Cape to be competitive on her local debut.
RACE 2 (1,000M) (7) BEAUTIFUL WINTER outran market expectations on debut and would have come on appreciably with the benefit of that outing.
He finished behind (2) FENCING CAPTAIN that day but, with natural improvement expected, could turn the tables.
(14) CLIFF SWALLOW has shown enough to make his presence felt, while newcomers (6) ELIZABET GOLD should not be underestimated. Watch the betting.
RACE 3 (1,160M) (5) PARABELLUM has gained plenty from a pleasing first-up experience, so is not underestimated.
Returning (7) AMANATTO also has scope to improve after a rest.
(1) BIG BOY BRUCE took a big step forward to finish second last time and should be competitive if confirming that improvement.
First-timer (8) HONG KONG does not have to be special to play a part.
RACE 4 (1,000M) (1) LION RAMPART has not been seen since beating (3) MISS WORLD (3.5kg better off) over 1,200m on June 2, but is open to improvement.
(2) HANDSOME PRINCE has the benefit of recent race fitness on his side and should be competitive.
(6) ROMAN AGENT (gelded) is not taken lightly returning from respective absences.
RACE 5 (1,800M) (2) MOUNT DARWIN scored over course and distance 12 weeks ago and looks good value to follow up with his rider's 2.5kg claim negating the resultant five-point penalty.
(3) STREWN SKY finished behind the selection and will be competitive but is worse off at the weights.
Alec Laird-trained runners (4) ROYAL GUIDE and (8) BIRTHRIGHT have been sparingly raced, so remain open to improvement.
