Race 1
4 HERITAGE RIDGE ran a much better race over 1000m in her last start, she raced up on speed and really tried hard all the way to the line, if she can produce a similar performance again, she will go very close to winning. 7 ANGEL’S OASIS has been rested for 73 days, she ran a lovely race on debut when finishing third behind Elizabeth Grace, with natural improvement on the cards, she must have a solid each way chance. 5 FRIDA KAHLO was beaten just over 4 lengths on debut, watch for sharp improvement from run one to run two, she could certainly finish amongst the places here. 9 SPIRIT GUIDE comes back to the races from a 129-day break, her recent form has been consistent, if she can beat the draw, she will have a good Quartet chance.
(Brandon Bailey: 4 – 7 – 5 – 9)
Race 2
4 LITTLE LEXI ran a great race last time behind October Fest, from a good draw in a race that is lacking strong and consistent form, she will have a big winning chance. 6 TRUE HORIZON never runs a bad race, her form of late has been very good, with some luck in running, she could certainly be amongst the places again. 2 TIMELINE will need to improve on her most recent run behind My Only Weakness where she was beaten just over five lengths, the drop back in trip from a good draw will help her chances. 8 ALESSIA ASHEVILLE ran a much better race last time, unfortunately she has drawn poorly in this race which won’t help her chances.
(Brandon Bailey: 4 – 6 – 2 – 8)
Race 3
3 MAJOR MASTER will be very hard to beat in the first leg of the Pick Six, he is a lovely looking colt that will keep improving with every start, from a good draw here, he will get the run of the race and should be far too strong for them late. 6 BOUNCEBACK ran a terrific last time behind Terminator, he will be stalking the speed and running on powerfully late, include him into all bet types. 5 LATE DECEMBER has had no luck with draws of late, from a decent draw in this race and dropping back in trip, he could certainly finish amongst the places on his best form. 10 SPECTACULAR would have needed his last run badly, he should appreciate the step up in trip here, with some luck in running, he could make the Quartets at a decent price.
(Brandon Bailey: 3 – 6 – 5 – 10)
Race 4
4 MENTE ET MANU made good improvement when stepping up in trip in his last start, the form of that race has worked out nicely, now that he steps up further in trip to 1800m, he will take some beating. 1 GRIPEN has been rested for 67 days, he ran a fair race with the blinkers fitted last time, from a good draw with Jockey Aldo Domeyer in the saddle, he will be given every chance to exit the maiden ranks. 8 DREAMALITTLEDREAM has run some decent races of late, it doesn’t look to be an overly strong contest, with some luck he could sneak into the places again. 2 AMANCIO has been very frustrating to follow, on his best form he can win a race like this quite easily, again there will be no excuses for him from a good draw, include him into all bet types.
(Brandon Bailey: 4 – 1 – 8 – 2)
Race 5
1 JET TO THE SUN ran a cracking race out the maidens behind Glee Club, she is still improving and must have a good winning chance again with champion jockey Richard Fourie in the saddle. 7 GLEE CLUB fought hard for victory last time, she travelled well with the blinkers fitted, if she can produce a similar performance, she will have a good each way chance. 2 KAMCHATKA quickened up smartly to win a good race last time, she clearly enjoyed the step up in trip, even though she takes on much stronger now, she is improving at a rate of knots and must be watched closely. 8 HAMPSTEAD HEATH never raised a gallop in her last start with the blinkers fitted, the blinkers have subsequently been removed and she should bounce back to best form.
(Brandon Bailey: 1 – 7 – 2 – 8)
Race 6
5 MY ONLY WEAKNESS won a nice race back on the 21st of September, she was still very green on that occasion and managed to put her head in front at exactly the right time, she will keep improving with more racing, watch for a big performance again. 3 WHITE WATERS ran a super race in a decent Maiden Plate last time, she is a young filly that still has scope for improvement, from a neat draw she must have a decent each way chance. 9 WEDDING BELLS was heavily supported in the market in her last start where she absolutely took off to run a good third behind Kamchatka, if the race works out for her from a tricky draw, she could sneak into the places. 6 MISS NEW YORK must be forgiven for her last start where she was well beaten against stronger, at this level she must be respected in a big way.
(Brandon Bailey: 5 – 3 – 9 – 6)
Race 7
3 ELECTRIC FEELS moved up really well to finish second behind Lovers Lane in her last start, she needs to be ridden quietly and then moves into the race powerfully late, if the race works out for her, she can certainly make the boys work for victory. 6 LOVERS LANE quickened up smartly to win going away in his most recent run, at the weights he may battle to beat Electric Feels, but he is clearly in good heart at the moment and must have a good winning chance again. 4 WYLIE JACK had no luck from a wide barrier draw last time, watch for sharp improvement from him now that he gets a decent draw. 1 XPLICIT CONTENT enjoys this track and trip, he will be given every chance from a good draw, include him into all bet types.
(Brandon Bailey: 3 – 6 – 4 – 1)
Race 8
3 ALL ABOUT AL dropped nicely in the ratings and won a great race last time beating Bluff On Bluff, he needs a particular ride, jockey Craig Zackey knows him really well and he will be given the run of the race from a good draw, include him. 4 BLUFF ON BLUFF should get much closer to All About Al at the weights, there was nothing between the two horses when they recently met, on his best form with a similar performance again, he can absolutely win. 6 SHIFTING PATH has done so well for Trainer Piet Botha and his team, he never runs a bad race, he would have ideally preferred a 1250m race, but he runs on strongly and must be watched closely late. 2 ELUSIVE WINTER needed his last run badly, he should improve lengths from that run.
(Brandon Bailey: 3 – 4 – 6 – 2)
