This is a full field of first timers, watch them in the parade ring, watch them move down to the start and watch the market closely before making your final selections.
(Brandon Bailey: 6 – 4 – 5 – 3)
Race 2
2 GURKHA absolutely took off on debut to run a cracking third behind Cork Bay on debut, he was undoubtedly the eye catcher in that particular race, and he should be very hard to beat on Saturday afternoon with natural improvement. 8 UMFULA stayed on strongly in the same race as Gurkha on debut, he was only beaten just over three lengths by the winner, he will also improve nicely from his debut run into his second start up the straight at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth. 11 HONOR OF KINGS drops in trip now, his form has been really consistent, include him into all bet types. 9 REAL STUNNER was drawn poorly in his last start over 1400m, he ran a fair race behind Rich Folks Hoax, he should improve nicely now that he is back sprinting again.
(Brandon Bailey: 2 – 8 – 11 – 9)
Race 3
10 ALL IS GREEN won a great race last time when beating The Charleston in a close finish, she would have needed that run coming back to the races from a long break, the yard think highly of this filly and she must have a good winning chance again. 11 CAPTAIN’S DESTINY quickened up smartly to win a good race on the 16th of November, her recent form has been very good, despite her rating going up four points for her last win, she will be very competitive. 4 BERRY’S BOOGIE won her maiden impressively beating Winter Gamble by two lengths, she will get better and stronger with more racing, watch her closely here. 7 FESTIVAL CHIC is much better than her recent run, she drops in class and in trip which will give her a nice each way chance.
(Brandon Bailey: 10 – 11 – 4 – 7)
Race 4
6 GARRIX won his maiden very well on the 5th of November at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he quickened up like a smart horse in the making, there is no doubt he will love the step up in trip, include him into all bet types. 10 RICH FOLKS HOAX fought hard all the way to the line to exit the maiden ranks last time when beating Green Garnet by a long neck, he looks progressive and must be respected in a big way. 5 CARRIACOU ran a lovely race over 1600m on the 2nd of November behind Aspect, his form is good, and he will be finishing strongly late. 17 MARVEL WILLIAM ran a terrific race from a terrible draw in his last start behind Dawn Till Dusk, he unfortunately draws poorly again for this class 4 event which won’t make life easy for him, if the race works out, he could have a money chance.
(Brandon Bailey: 6 – 10 – 5 – 17)
Race 5
4 ASIYE PHAMBILI ran a super race in the Listed Laisserfaire Stakes behind Miss Marguerite on the 9th of November when finishing second by a short head, she returned back to the races from a long break and she carried a huge weight of 63.5kgs on her back, she would have improved nicely from that run and there is no doubt she will take lots of beating in this Grade 3 event. 2 SUMMER LILY ran on powerfully in her last start, she has been very consistent through her career, and she must have a good money chance again. 1 MISS MARGUERITE will find it tough to win again now that she is worse off at the weights with a few of her rivals that she beat last time, but she is gutsy and will be trying hard. 5 MISS WORLD is way above average, if she can build on her last performance, she will go close.
(Brandon Bailey: 4 – 2 – 1 – 5)
Race 6
5 ORIENTAL CHARM has been rested for 154 days, it’s great to have him back at the track after winning the Hollywoodbets Durban July in excellent fashion, he is a serious horse with plenty ability, if he doesn’t need the run badly, he will be very hard to beat. 4 GREEN WITH ENVY ran a fair race in the Hollywoodbets Durban July, unfortunately things didn’t go as planned for him in that Grade 1 event on the 6th of July, he is a horse with tons of ability, watch him late, he will be running on powerfully. 3 ROYAL AUSSIE needed his last start badly, he was only beaten just under three lengths by Rascallion in the Grade 3 Cape Mile, watch for sharp improvement, he will be right there in the finish. 1 WITHOUT QUESTION ran a decent race last time, on his best form he will have a nice place chance.
(Brandon Bailey: 5 – 4 – 3 – 1)
Race 7
3 BEWARE THE BOMB really caught the eye in her last start behind Mon Petit Cherie on the 9th of November, she stayed on strongly to finish second in a close finish, now that the steps up in trip to 1600m, she will go very close to winning from a good draw. 11 GIMMIE’S COUNTESS made up good ground in her last start from a wide draw in the Grade 2 Western Cape Fillies Championship, she should enjoy the extra trip now, watch her closely, she will be storming home late. 1 MON PETIT CHERIE quickened up in great fashion last time to win going away, she is clearly a filly with plenty ability, from a good draw with champion jockey Richard Fourie in the saddle, she must have a huge winning chance again. 13 FATAL FLAW won impressively on the Highveld last time, she will need lots of luck from a terrible draw, include her into all bets.
(Brandon Bailey: 3 – 11 – 1 – 13)
Race 8
1 CALL TO UNITE ran a decent race in the Listed Woolavington Stakes last time behind Daimyo when finishing fourth, he quickens well and he stays well, there is no doubt he will be competitive in this small field. 3 LOVE IS A ROSE ran a great race last time when finishing second, her staying form is really good, she is extremely tough, on her best form she can win this race quite easily. 6 NAVY STRENGTH finished like a rocket in his last start to beat King Pelles over 1800m at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he races as if he will get the trip with no problems at all, he could be some value in a tricky looking race. 5 ALLEZ MORIS never runs a bad race, he could sneak into the Quartets.
(Brandon Bailey: 1 – 3 – 6 – 5)
Race 9
8 MAGIC VERSE was very unlucky in his most recent start behind Song To The Moon when finishing second, he currently races off a dangerous mark of 85, he should love the step up in trip to 2000m, he will go very close to winning if the race works out for him. 11 FUTURE TURN has been knocking on the door in a big way lately, again he unfortunately draws poorly, he should enjoy the extra trip and must be respected in this tricky looking contest. 1 LIGHTNING GLOW ran a much better race last time behind stable companion Navy Strength, he is a lovely looking individual that should be cherry ripe to run a cracker from a good draw. 9 JOIN THE DOTS has been in great form lately, if he can build on his last performance, he should earn.
(Brandon Bailey: 8 – 11 – 1 – 9)
Race 10
2 BIG UNIT quickened up like a very nice horse in his last start when winning a good race on the 16th of November at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, he absolutely loves the 1400m trip, from a good draw here, he will be very hard to beat. 4 ROSH KEDESH had no luck in running from a terrible draw last time, he stayed on well late and was only beaten just over three lengths by Big Unit, now that he gets a good draw, he will be right there in the finish. 3 POWERANDTHEGLORY needed his last run badly, he moved up full of running through the 350m mark and then got tired very late, he is a horse with lots of ability, watch for big improvement on Saturday afternoon. 12 TOUT A FAIT will need luck in running from a wide draw, watch him closely late.
(Brandon Bailey: 2 – 4 – 3 – 12)
