TRIUMVIRATE (Vaughan Marshall/MJ Byleveld) ran his
best race in five this C & D three runs back. ran on last
time. CAPTAIN REI ran well in his last two. Can go close
in this field. CANNERY ROW has had his problems but
could improve if overcoming his tardy starts. DIOGENES
(Glen Kotzen/Andrew Fortune) improved by nine
lengths last time. One to respect. ONEMANWOLFPACK
(Glen Kotzen/JP van der Merwe) has had two moderate
runs.

TOLD YOU SO took eleven runs to win his maiden but
then followed that up with two good post maiden efforts.
One can expect further improvement and should be
running. GOLDEN CRYSTAL did not run to expectations
against stronger last time. Could be the one to be wary of
in this field. ON THE ROAD (Justin Snaith/Andrew
Fortune) ran a shocker last time but that was in soft
going. Form before that was good. ROYAL FOLLY (Dean
Kannemeyer) has run well in his post maiden efforts.
PINOTAGE PETE (Glen Kotzen/JP van der Merwe) only
won his maiden last time. Should have more to find but
does
have
a
place
chance.

MAGNETIC (Mike Bass/Grant Van Niekerk) ran his best
race in seven last time when running on this C & D.
LIQUIFICATION (Paddy Kruyer/Glen Hatt) is inclined to
be erratic. Last run and the one three runs ago were
good enough to give him a fair chance in this field. LORD
TRAFALGAR (Dean Kannemeyer) has certainly come
along well in his last three runs when finishing well.
HOLD ON TIGER runs for the thirty second time as a
maiden but has earned over double what was paid for
him at the sales. GOLD MOUNTAIN would have a place
chance
at
best.
1st – MAGNETIC (2.8/1 JF) (3); 2nd –

RACE 4: Maiden Plate (F & M) 2000m Bend
On the evidence of her latest effort, SCARLET WITCH
(Glen Kotzen/Andrew Fortune) should not be too long in
winning her maiden. Ran on well last time and may have
won had she not lost a length at the start. MISS BIG
MAMMA (Mike Bass/Grant Van Niekerk) has moderate
form but could be improving. FLY LIKE AN EAGLE is
another who is improving. Only placings have been over
the distance. DO YOU DANCE has moderate form and
weakens. CAPRISA runs for the twenty third time. Could
fill
a
minor
placing.
1st – SCARLET WITCH (0.91 F) (1); 2nd – MISS BIG

RACE 5: MR 71 Hcp (F & M) 2000m Bend
KARNILLA (Glen Kotzen/JP van der Merwe) ran a very
good post maiden last time. Could improve even further.
BEULAH has not won in a while and could be ready if
running on again. STRAWBERRY LINE (Mike Bass/Grant
Van Niekerk) also has good form and can also be running
on at the business end of the race. LONDON THEATRE
did not show in her post maiden two runs back but
showed very good improvement last time. DIZZY FEET
(Glen Kotzen/Andrew Fortune) should never be
discounted
in
fields
such
as
this.
1st – KARNILLA (5/1) (5); 2nd – BEULAH (2.8/1 F) (1);

RACE 6: MR 70 (F & M) Hcp 1200m Bend
KIND LADY has excellent form and also over this C & D.
Will be finding more late on. AZANIAH was running on
when showing improvement last time. PRINCESS CREO
(Justin Snaith/MJ Byleveld) won her maiden at the
seventh attempt last time. She was running on. Can
follow up. METAPHYSICAL has only won once and placed
once in twelve starts. Both win and place were this C & D.
Was running on last time. COSMIC FLOWER is better
than
her
last
effort.

KUKAMA has improved in his last two and if running on
as he did last time, should go close. Has a feather on his
back! DYNASTY'S SECRET ran on to win very easily last
time despite being slow away. Chance if repeating. ACT
OF FAITH (Vaughan Marshall/MJ Byleveld) showed good
improvement last time. Chance if repeating. FORT
BUKLOH cannot be faulted on current form and should
be doing his best work late. COGNAC ON ICE (Yogas
Govender) will be running on. Respect the ante post
favorite VENTURE VAR, who won his maiden this C & D
but may need to confirm. That was his fourth run.

RACE 8: Maiden Plate (F & M) 1400m Bend
BLUE MARTINI (Joey Ramsden/Glen Hatt) made a good
debut over 1200m last time. The extra will suit this
daughter of SILVANO. TIGER BOLT (Vaughan
Marshall/MJ Byleveld) has had three good runs. The
blinkers go on. TRUE GIFT (Justin Snaith/Stuart
Randolph) ran well in KZN. Chance if repeating that
form. DEBRA is inclined to be inconsistent but did show
late last time. ARGO NAVIS (Mike Bass/Grant Van
Niekerk) can only improve on a moderate debut last
time.
