RACE 1
8 FROM A DISTANCE comes back from a small break. She is in great form at the moment and should take a power of beating here. 10 CHAMPAGNE KISSES will need lots of luck from a tricky draw. She was still very green last time at the races; with natural improvement she will be the biggest danger to From A Distance. 7 ELIZABETH GRACE ran a cracking third last time behind a very smart filly. She is still improving with racing and should be right there at the finish. 5 TIMELINE will need to improve quite a bit to win here, but her recent form is good enough to see her amongst the places at best. (Brandon Bailey: 8 – 10 – 7 – 5)
RACE 2
3 KING’S QUEST will take a lot of beating from a good draw. He is way above average; he took off to run a cracking third on debut, and with natural improvement he should be a tough horse to beat. 2 DALMENY FACTOR caught the eye on debut when running on well to be beaten just over five lengths at the wire. He gets a good draw here, watch him closely. 9 CAPTAIN WEST will need all the luck in the world from a tricky draw. His first two runs have been excellent, and he looks ready to win soon. 7 LET IT BE SAID improved from his first run to finish a great second in his last start, he is going about his business the right way and should be involved in the finish with further improvement. (Brandon Bailey: 3 – 2 – 9 – 7)
RACE 3
8 CUMBRE VIEJA looks ready to win. The blinkers have been fitted, his form is very good, and he will be right there when it matters most. The drop in trip to 1400m will be no problem at all, if he gets the right run in transit, he should be a very hard horse to beat. 7 ARBITRATION comes to the track with a huge reputation, he is a lovely looking horse that will get better and better with racing. He moved up a winner in his last start before showing signs of possibly needing it a bit when becoming one paced the last 150m of the race. There is no doubt he will improve from that effort and must be included into all bet types. 2 COMMANDER GREEN has been rested after a very smart debut performance. He absolutely took off into the closing stages to run a great race. He gets a good draw here, watch him closely. 6 AMANCIO should prefer dropping to the 1400m trip, he might be able to sneak into the quartets on his best form at a decent price. (Brandon Bailey: 8 – 7 – 2 – 6)
RACE 4
5 PRETTY PRECIOUS steps back up in trip to 1400m where she ran a great second behind Ice Rain. She needed her last run quite badly from a small break where she travelled exceptionally well throughout her race before getting tired the last 150m. From a decent draw, she will be given every chance to exit the maidens. 1 LITTLE SUZIE is very well bred. Her debut run was magnificent when finishing second, now that she steps up in trip from a decent draw, she will be a huge threat to them all. 2 FESTIVAL CHIC is getting stronger and better with every run, she steps up in trip from a good draw which will help her chances. Include her into all your bets, she can most definitely win a race like this. 7 NATIONAL DISGRACE ran a much better race last time when finishing third. On her best form, she can sneak into the places. (Brandon Bailey: 5 – 1 – 2 – 7)
RACE 5
This is a very tricky race. 3 HOLDING THUMBS travelled sweetly throughout his race last time when leading them from start to finish to win a good race. He still looks to be very progressive and must have a huge winning chance again from a good draw. 2 RADICCHIO won a gutsy race last time. He gets a perfect draw here; he shouldn’t be too far off them turning for home and he will have a good winning chance again. 9 DAS GUTE was a shock winner last time at a huge price. He seems to absolutely love Hollywoodbets Durbanville, watch him closely at a big price again. 5 MASTER OF PARIS never runs a bad race, he is very consistent, and he will have a good place chance again in this field. (Brandon Bailey: 3 – 2 – 9 – 5)
RACE 6
4 GREEN MANDARIN is in great form at the moment, he comes back to the races after a small break and if he doesn’t need the run badly, he could certainly win again. He is extremely versatile, and he can run on powerfully, include him into all your bets. 3 OTTO LUYKEN should run a cracker here. He should enjoy a good run throughout the race from a good draw, he likes to be up on speed, and he will keep fighting all the way to the line. 5 CORONATION TIME ran a much better race last time when finishing third, on his best form he would have a good place chance again. 2 SALVATOR MUNDI will need to improve quite a bit to win a race of this nature, if he can bring his last run to the races, he might be able to sneak into the quartets. (Brandon Bailey: 4 – 3 – 5 – 2)
RACE 7
5 PRIME VENTURE was very disappointing in his last start. He is much better than that effort, watch him late because he can run on powerfully in his races. 2 MIDWAY won his maiden really well last time, he looks to be progressive and this looks to be a nice race for him to be competitive again. Include him into all your bets. 7 KING PELLES has taken some time to find his feet in Cape Town, he was very unlucky last time when finishing second, if the race works out for him, he could certainly be a huge danger for them all. 1 BATON ROUGE is much better than his last run, he likes to race up on speed and if he gets away from the field at the right time, he will naturally have a good each way chance here. (Brandon Bailey: 5 – 2 – 7 – 1)
RACE 8
This is not an easy race. Plenty with chances. 3 VERONIQUE from a good draw here must have a decent winning chance. She has been so consistent through her career, and this looks to be a nice race for her to win again. 5 ELECTRIC FEELS ran a lovely race last time when just finishing out of the places. She will have every chance here from a good draw, if she can bring that last run to Hollywoodbets Durbanville, she should have a good each way chance. 2 GRUE OF ICE will need to be at her absolute best to trouble the judge here. She gets a decent draw and a drop in rating which should help her chances. 12 TRES CHIC will need plenty luck from a terrible draw over this trip at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. She will probably drop out and do her best work at the finish, watch her closely for a storming finish late. (Brandon Bailey: 3 – 5 – 2 – 12)
RACE 9
4 WINTER PEARL ran a lovely race last time behind a decent sort. He gets a perfect draw here and there is no reason why he shouldn’t be on the premises again, he must have a good each way chance in this race. 6 SHIFTING PATH is in great heart at the moment, on his best form, he will have a good winning chance again in his career. 8 HANDSOME PRINCE is a lovely looking sort that we must watch closely leading up to the Cape summer season. He needed his last run badly and should tighten up quite a bit from that race. He may still need one more run before we see him at his best, but his class might pull him through here and he must go into all your bet types. 13 SPIRIT’S UNITE drops in trip here, from a bad draw he will need lots of luck, but there is no doubt he will be running on strongly from the back of the field, watch him late. (Brandon Bailey: 4 – 6 – 8 – 13)
RACE 10
Again, it’s a tough race. 5 DEAN STREET won a great race last time at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. He beat a competitive field on that occasion and from a decent draw here, he will have a good winning chance again. 8 GIMMELIGHTNING has been rested for 76 days, he likes to be held up for as long as possible and then come with a powerful finish late, on his recent form, he will have a good each way chance. 6 MOJO MAN wasn’t beaten far by Dean Street in his last start, and he is better off at the weights which will put him right in the race with a massive winning chance. Include him into all your bets. 2 BLUE HOLLY is a very speedy filly, she should run a much better race from a decent draw now that she is back at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. (Brandon Bailey: 5 – 8 – 6 – 2)
