Race 1
4 CORK BAY moved up extremely well in his last start to run a cracking second, there is no doubt that he will get the run of the race from a good draw, and he will be very hard to beat here. 1 SHIPINDANI should improve quite a bit from her last start, her comeback run behind Alltheboysiveloved was very good, watch her closely from a neat draw in this race. 6 GOOD SHINE ran a fair race last time in a strong maiden plate, there have already been two direct winners from that form line, he drops in trip to 1000m which should unlock further improvement. 9 GIMMEATHRILL comes back to the races after a small break of 86 days, he ran a lovely race on debut from a wide draw behind Walk With Me, if he doesn’t need the run badly, he could sneak into Quartets.
(Brandon Bailey: 4 – 1 – 6 – 9)
Race 2
2 PACAYA had absolutely no luck in his last start behind Mount Anderson in the Friendly City Stakes, from a good draw in a small field here, there should be no excuses for this gelding, on his best form he will be tough to beat in a competitive race. 1 RAPIDASH has been in great form of late, if the race works out for him, he can finish powerfully, include him into all bet types. 3 FUTURE SWING has been rested for 83 days, this race will be the start of his Summer Festival campaign, he is packed with class, if he doesn’t need the run badly, he will make them all work for victory. 6 OTTO LUYKEN unfortunately didn’t have the race work out for him last time, he ideally wants some cover early and then runs on strongly late, he must have a good Quartet chance, the yard is in great form as well.
(Brandon Bailey: 2 – 1 – 3 – 6)
Race 3
5 DOUBLE GRAND SLAM has been rested for 105 days, she is a top filly that will take all the beating here. There is no doubt that she might just need the run, but her class should prevail in this small field. 6 RED PALACE wrapped up her KwaZulu-Natal campaign in style when beating Saartjie in the Grade 2 Gold Bracelet at Hollywoodbets Greyville, she is a lovely big striding filly that wants to race up on speed, this might be on the short side for her, but if she gets cheap sectionals up in front, she will be hard to peg back, include her into all bets. 1 PRINCESS IZZY never runs a bad race, she is very consistent, from a good draw she must have a place chance. 4 TIME FOR LOVE should appreciate the drop in trip, she might be able to sneak into the places at a decent price.
(Brandon Bailey: 5 – 6 – 1 – 4)
Race 4
4 DOUBLE DASH ran a terrific race last time in a big field behind a very nice sort, the step up in trip should unlock further improvement, she will go very close to winning from a good draw. 6 LAVENDER BAY ran a super race last time from a wide draw here at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, on her most recent form, she must have a good each way chance. 8 POCKET DIAL will appreciate the step up in trip to 1600m again, she finished her race off strongly last time behind My Only Weakness, watch her closely late. 10 LOTUS ISLAND improved nicely last time when stepping up in trip from a bad draw, with the right run in transit here, she must have a good winning chance.
(Brandon Bailey: 4 – 6 – 8 – 10)
Race 5
7 SONG TO THE MOON must have a massive winning chance here, he unfortunately hasn’t had much luck with draws of late, from a decent enough draw in this race, he will be storming home late. 8 INDUSTRIALSTRENGTH ran a huge race last time behind Devil A Saint, it was his first run in the Western Cape at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, he will be a lot more streetwise now, watch for sharp improvement from him. 1 LA PULGA comes back to the races from a rest and gelding, he won extremely well on the 3rd of August, with natural improvement on the cards from a good draw and stepping up in trip, he should be amongst the places. 3 ALL ABOUT RONNIE ran a much better race in his last start, if he can build on that performance, he could be one for the Quartets.
(Brandon Bailey: 7 – 8 – 1 – 3)
Race 6
1 RADICCHIO absolutely loves Hollywoodbets Durbanville, life will be tough for him now off his new rating of 82, he is very gutsy, and he gets a good draw, there is no doubt that he will have a big winning chance again in this field despite the big weight on his back. 10 DALMENY FACTOR won his maiden in style, he looks to be way above average, if he can beat the bad barrier draw here, he will have a good winning chance again. 2 SHAVOUT is far better than his last start, ignore that run completely, from a neat barrier draw in this race, he should bounce back to best. 7 DEVIL A SAINT won at a huge price in his last start, he simply galloped them into the ground, with a similar performance, he could earn again.
(Brandon Bailey: 1 – 10 – 2 – 7)
Race 7
4 ASPECT will be looking for six straight wins on the bounce, he likes to race up on speed, from a decent draw, he must have a good winning chance again despite his merit rating climbing. 2 ROSH KEDESH has been rested for 73 days, on his recent form, he must have a good each way chance in a very competitive race. 9 OLIVER is very consistent, he quickened up very well to win a great race last time, there is speed in this race which will suit him down to the ground, watch him late. 12 INNAMORARE won well last time, unfortunately he will need lots of luck from a bad draw here, if the race works out for him, he could finish amongst the places.
(Brandon Bailey: 4 – 2 – 9 – 12)
Race 8
2 MON PETIT CHERIE won with authority in her last start, the yard think highly of this filly, from a neat draw here and with natural improvement on the cards, she will go very close to winning again. 6 KING OF SPIN went hard up in front in his last start and still won a great race beating One Liner, with a similar performance he will be hard to catch in this competitive race. 9 MAPHAKA could be anything, he won his maiden very impressively at Hollywoodbets Scottsville, this will be his first run in the Western Cape at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, if he handles the track and doesn’t need the run badly, he will have a nice each way chance. 10 O’Tenikwa is highly rated by the stable, he ran a lovely race from a wide draw last time, with some luck in running, he could earn again.
(Brandon Bailey: 2 – 6 – 9 – 10)
Race 9
1 ISCHYRO quickened up very nicely to win going away in his last start, from a good draw here, he should go very close to winning again. 3 TRY ME ran a good second to Ischyro last time, at the weights it will get much closer between the two horses, include Try Me into all bets. 8 GRUE OF ICE ran a lovely race in testing conditions last time, she has been fairly consistent of late and must have a good money chance again. 7 LADY LOXTON will appreciate the drop in trip, on her best form, she can make the exotics pay.
(Brandon Bailey: 1 – 3 – 8 – 7)
Race 10
6 MISS MARGUERITE ran a lovely race last time behind Nordic Quest, she was drawn poorly on that occasion and was staying on strongly late, now that she gets a better draw, she will go very close to winning at a nice price. 1 SAHARA CAT is very speedy, from the perfect draw of one on a track that is running very fast, she will be difficult to peg back late. 7 BE MERRY is clearly improving at a rate of knots, she won a great race last time from the front, this is undoubtedly a stronger race for her, if she can beat the tricky draw, she will have a good each way chance with Jockey Richard Fourie. 5 PORQUE TE VAS ran a fair race last time from a wide draw, she drops a point in the ratings, and she gets a better draw now, watch for a decent performance.
(Brandon Bailey: 6 – 1 – 7 – 5)
