(Brandon Bailey: 1 – 3 – 2 – 4)
Race 2
1 KINDA WONDERFUL is a very smart filly, it’s great to see her back at the races. She is undoubtedly the class package in this race, from a good draw, she will have a nice winning chance. 2 SYMPHONY IN WHITE has been rested for 119 days, she ran a cracking third in the Grade 1 contest at Hollywoodbets Scottsville, she has loads of potential and should be right there in the finish. 3 SOUTHERN SKIES won a terrific race last time, she needed her last run and still managed to walk away with victory, there is no doubt that she will be much fitter for this race, from a good draw she will get the run of the race, and she must have a nice each way chance in a hot field. 8 KYALAMI GIRL ran a much better race last time, she definitely has the ability to be competitive here, she will however need lots of luck from a tricky draw.
(Brandon Bailey: 1 – 2 – 3 – 8)
Race 3

She is clearly still improving; she gets a nice draw in this race and must have a good winning chance again. 5 LOVE SHACK moved up beautifully in her last start when making up tons of ground from a tricky draw, she was only beaten just under two lengths in a competitive race, with the right run in transit here, she will have a good each way chance. 6 EASY MONEY bounced back to form nicely last time, she was gutsy and fought all the way to the line to win a good race, this is much tougher for her, she might be able to sneak into the places at best. 2 HEAR MY VOICE ran a decent race last time, she will be stalking the speed from a good draw and must have a quartet chance.
(Brandon Bailey: 1 – 5 – 6 – 2)
Race 4
12 AIR RAID comes back to the races from a rest and gelding. He is a very smart horse that needs to be followed closely leading up to the Cape Summer Season. He unfortunately will need lots of luck from a terrible draw in this race, he will be low flying late, include him into all your bets. 11 O’Tenikwa is highly rated by the stable, he showed lots of heart and courage in his last start to dead-heat with Swift Action, he should improve tremendously from that run, with some luck on his side, he will have a big winning chance. 1 DEFINITELY YES should appreciate the drop in trip, he was slightly disappointing last time here at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, if he can put that run behind him, he will have an obvious place chance. 3 KELP FOREST is much better than his last start, he can easily bounce back to his best form here.
(Brandon Bailey: 12 – 11 – 1 – 3)
Race 5
2 TWICE THE MASTER has run two lovely races in succession, he has no weight on his back, and he gets a good draw, he should have a good each way chance in this very competitive field. 4 IGNATIUS gets the blinkers fitted again, he is slowly starting to drop in the ratings, watch him closely here. 7 FIREFLARE has been knocking on the door in a big way, his recent form in KZN is very good, if he can bring those runs to Hollywoodbets Durbanville, he will be right there in the finish. 13 MOHANDAS will need lots of luck from a terrible draw, he likes to race up on speed, if the race works out for him, he could be a nice quartet inclusion.
(Brandon Bailey: 2 – 4 – 7 – 13)
Race 6
4 BIG UNIT quickened up nicely to win a gutsy race last time. It was his first run back from a rest and gelding, in hope that he relaxes moving down to the start, behind the gates and in his race, he will have a good winning chance again. 2 SOUND OF THE SEA comes back to the races from a small rest and gelding, he won a terrific race last time when leading the field from start to finish, he is very much progressive and should be involved in the finish here. 10 INDUSTRIALSTRENGTH could be anything, the sky looks to be the limit with this well-bred colt, he put the record straight last time when winning with absolute ease, it will be his first run in the Western Cape, if he can beat the bad draw and he handles Hollywoodbets Durbanville, he will be a big danger to them all. 13 SHAVOUT has done nothing wrong of late, on his best form he could surprise at a decent price.
(Brandon Bailey: 4 – 2 – 10 – 13)
Race 7
2 GOLD POKER GAME was a touch unlucky not to finish closer in her last start, she has a striking turn of foot, from a good draw here, she will have every chance of winning the Grade 3 Baker Mcveigh Diana Stakes. 4 PRINCESS IZZY never runs a bad race, her recent form is excellent, she must have a good winning chance in this competitive race. 7 RAINBOW LORIKEET quickened up beautifully last time to win the listed East Cape Paddock Stakes, she finishes powerfully in her races, include her into all your bets. 1 SUMMER LILY has been rested for 130 days, she gets a nice draw for this race, if she doesn’t need the run badly, she could sneak into the back of quartets.
(Brandon Bailey: 2 – 4 – 7 – 1)
Race 8
10 QUESTIONING absolutely loves Hollywoodbets Durbanville, he won a cracking race last time over 1200m, he now steps up in trip from a tricky draw, if the race works out for him, he can easily win. 9 SUGAR MOUNTAIN was running on beautifully in his last start over a trip that is short of his best, he will be low flying late, watch him closely. 2 ZAPATILLAS looks ready to peak now, he is a magnificent looking gelding that should get the run of the race from a good draw, he has the ability, include him into all bet types. 4 AT MY COMMAND returns to the races from a break of 62 days, he has been frustrating to win with, but he is honest and should be amongst the places again.
(Brandon Bailey: 10 – 9 – 2 – 4)
Race 9
2 SPEED RACER ran a lovely race from a terrible draw last time, he now cracks a draw and should be very hard to beat in this race. 5 NIGHT BOMBER was given 4 points for his last win, he is slowly starting to creep up in the ratings which will make life tougher for him, but he is consistent and must have a good each way chance again. 11 MAURITIUS KESTREL will need lots of luck in running from a terrible draw, he is clearly still improving, if the race works out, he will have a good each way chance. 3 SOOTY is a lovely looking individual, the penny hasn’t quite dropped with him yet, he might be able to sneak into the quartets at a decent price, watch him late.
(Brandon Bailey: 2 – 5 – 11 – 3)
Race 10
3 ON BOARD moved up like a winner in her last start when running second behind Easy Money, she had a tricky draw on that occasion, now that she gets a good draw in a race that is lacking strong form, she must have a big winning chance. 4 VERONIQUE was a touch disappointing last time, she never travelled one bit in that race, she now drops back in trip and should be storming home late. 1 BECKY SHARP has had no luck of late with draws, she finally gets a decent draw in this Class 5 event, she should make good improvement. 2 ROYAL LYTHAM was very disappointing last time, she is far better than that performance, if she can put that lacklustre run behind her, she could sneak into the minor places.
(Brandon Bailey: 3 – 4 – 1 – 2)
