Race 1
10 BAGATELLE FLASH comes back to the races after a small break and gelding. He brings in some decent maiden form to this race and he should take a power of beating if he can get some luck from a tricky draw. 2 FENCING CAPTAIN is carded to run at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Friday, 23rd August, If he lines up here from a good draw, he should have a good each way chance on his best form. 5 DAWN TILL DUSK ran a cracking race last time when finishing third, he looks to be getting better with more racing, he must have a good place chance again in this field. 1 MASTER INCOLOR was only beaten just over six lengths on debut when showing signs of being very green, he should improve nicely and could sneak into the places at a decent price.
(Brandon Bailey: 10 – 2 – 5 – 1)
Race 2
9 MAI SENSATION looks to be the horse they all need to beat. She ran a cracking third on debut when absolutely flying late to be beaten just under two lengths at the wire. This looks to be a lovely race for her to exit the maidens. 8 KAMCHATKA will be the biggest danger to
Mai Sensation, she had a tricky draw to overcome, and she was still very green on debut at Hollywoodbets Durbanville when finishing just over three lengths behind Spoil Yourself, now that she has had that one run under the belt, she will improve lengths and should be involved at the finish. 10 EXPEDITION SOUTH comes back to the races after a long break, she ran a decent race behind a nice sort last time, watch her closely, she could be running on into the places if she doesn’t need the run badly. 14 DIAMOND BOMBER was very disappointing last time, if she can bring her first run to the track on Saturday afternoon, she might be able to sneak into the places at a big price. (Brandon Bailey: 9 – 8 – 10 – 14)
Race 3
3 OCTOBER FEST is very well bred, she was terribly green on debut and there is no doubt that she will improve big time from that run, watch her closely, she must have a big winning chance in this field. 12 MON PETIT CHERIE ran a lovely race last time behind a smart sort, she is ultra-consistent, and this looks to be a nice race for her to be involved in the finish again. 10 LOVE STORY ran a great race on debut, the yard thinks highly of this filly, she should improve from her debut run and that will give her a great place chance in a very competitive race. 7 ALEX MILLER was very green on debut when beaten just over seven lengths by the highly talented Worldcraft. The formlines have worked out exceptionally well, she should improve with racing, include her into all your bets.
(Brandon Bailey: 3 – 12 – 10 – 7)
Race 4
8 EMPIRE STATE will be very hard to beat in this race. He is a beautiful looking colt that was
terribly unlucky on debut when finishing second here at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. He is undoubtedly the horse to beat, follow him closely leading up to the Cape Summer Season. 1 LET IT BE SAID improved in a big way from his first run to his second run, he looks progressive and must be included into all your bets. 4 PALACE GIFT ran on beautifully from a wide draw last time, now that he gets a decent draw here at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, he should be able to do enough for the minor places. 13 DUBBELOSIX moved to the gates exceptionally well on debut, he looks to be the type that will improve with every run, watch him closely from a wide barrier draw here.
(Brandon Bailey: 8 – 1 – 4 – 13)
Race 5
5 SPIRIT’S UNITE is very consistent. He drops in trip for this Class 5 event which should suit him perfectly. He has done everything right in his career, he likes to be held up for as long as possible and then come with a storming run late, if the race works out for him, he should have a good winning chance here. 8 SHIFTING PATH never runs a bad race, at this level he will always have a good each way chance, include him into all your bets. 1 BENEATH THE MOON won a super race last time at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, she likes to race up on speed and if she can get away from the field at the right time, she must have a good each way chance again in this grade. 12 TAMBOURINE MAN needed his last run badly, he tries hard and can sneak into the places again.
(Brandon Bailey: 5 – 8 – 1 – 12)
Race 6
5 HAMPSTEAD HEATH comes back to the races after a small break, her form is excellent at this level, and she must have a good winning chance here. 3 KAMAKAZI has been rested for 90 days, her last start was impressive when making all to win by just under two lengths at the line. She has drawn perfectly here, if the same tactics are applied in this contest, she will have a huge winning chance again. 1 ICE RAIN drops back in trip and gets the blinkers refitted on her best form she must have a good place chance from a good draw. 2 ETERNAL OPTIMIST has been in great form lately, she has a low mass to shoulder in this race, this trip should suit, and she must have a good money chance again.
(Brandon Bailey: 5 – 3 – 1 – 2)
Race 7
5 SOLAR POWER won a terrific race last time, he quickened up smartly from a wide draw to win going away, he gets a decent draw in this race and should have a good winning chance again. 6 INNAMORARE was a touch unlucky in his last start when finishing second, there should be no excuses for him in this race, include him into all your bets at a decent price, he has the ability to win a race like this quite easily. 7 ASPECT has won his last four starts impressively, he now races off a career high mark which will make life tough for him, but he is gutsy and must have a good each way chance again. 1 BARDOLINO gets a great draw here, the formlines of his last run have worked out well, if he gets some luck on his side in a very competitive race, he could sneak into the quartets.
(Brandon Bailey: 5 – 6 – 7 – 1)
Race 8
3 ROCCAPINA looks to be a very exciting filly in the making. Her last win at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth was very good when she stretched clear to win by just over five lengths. The yard and the connections think quite a bit of this filly, she will be very hard to beat here. She is still improving, put her into the notebook as one to follow for the Cape Summer Season. 4 LOVE SHACK moved up well in her last start at Hollywoodbets Durbanville, she ran a super race when finishing third from a wide draw, she must have a good place chance again in this race. 5 SHE’S MY CAPTAIN is very consistent at this level, there is no doubt she will be trying her best as always and she should be amongst the places again here. 1 GRANDIOSA comes back from a small break, her form is excellent, but this is on the short side, she undoubtedly will be better over further.
(Brandon Bailey: 3 – 4 – 5 – 1)
Race 9
2 KAIBOY ran a cracking race in the Listed Somerset 1200 behind the talented Lion Rampart, he finished just over seven lengths behind the winner on that occasion, this looks to be a weaker race for him, he has been rested and gelded which should help him tremendously. Include him into all your bets from a good draw, there is no doubt on his best form he will have a huge winning chance here. 4 O ‘Tenikwa has been rested for 105 days, the yard think highly of this individual, he ran a lovely race in his last start behind older horses, he looks to be super exciting and must have a good each way chance. 5 SWIFT ACTION is much better than his last start, he gets a good draw here and can easily bounce back to his best form to finish amongst the places. 3 ALL ABOUT AL is slowly starting to drop in ratings, hopefully that will help him return back to his best form.
(Brandon Bailey: 2 – 4 – 5 – 3)
