What A Winter gelding THEODORE ROOSEVELD could be well placed on his KwaZulu-Natal debut. He hasn't done badly on the Highveld and should improve on his last run which looks to have been over a distance that didn't suit. SCOTT'S BAR has more to come. He wasn't far off a fair sort in his second start and like the former has also been gelded so may show good improvement. TIPPERARY is better than her last run which she may have needed after a rest. She should give cheek if back in form. More can improve and there are first-timers to consider.

Best of those that have run may be ROCCO'S PEACE who has improved with each outing and has performed well on this course. He should strip fitter in his second start after a rest. Rested XIPHOS has been costly to follow and tends to lack extra when it counts but has now been gelded. MAJESTIC LIMPOPO showed some improvement in blinkers behind promising Gimme A Fireball and can do better in this line-up. SNOW WARRIOR had a valid excuse last time and also needs to be watched. DIAVAL and BELLO GALLICO could be the debutants to attract betting support.

Competitive handicap - it may pay to go wide in exotic bets. HOP HOP SPINNEKOP was only just denied in her second try at this track. She has been in good form since her maiden win and should go close again. PRINCESS TRIPPI won easily and now that she has could go on to further successes. GOLD GOLD BABY won well with first-time blinkers last start on the poly. She has been in good form since her maiden win. VAANS SPIRIT could relish the switch to turf even if returning from a break. TAYLOR'S VERSION has useful form over course and distance and improved in blinkers.

The betting should be your best guide with a number of runners stepping up in trip for the first time. However, JUDICIARY made a promising debut over course and distance when finishing strongly behind upwardly mobile Sparrow Man. Visiting DREADNOUGHT was a well-beaten second in his debut sprint but should much prefer this trip. DEONARIE has been ultra-consistent and is yet to finish out of the money. This trip should suit. OLD HARRY ROCKS was a beaten favourite last run but should improve. PREUX CHAVALIER is another to have shown some promise and looks a threat.

Visiting PARISIAN WALKWAY is by far the best weighted. He made a smart return after a lengthy break and if anywhere near his very best he should be hard to beat. BANGLADESH seems to have it all to do at the weights. But he makes his turf debut and could still be under the handicapper's radar. POWERANDTHEGLORY has run two smart races on the poly and won well under a big weight last run. CARDINAL CHIEF may prefer the extra and rates the dark horse. CAPTAIN WEST was close-up behind Zeitz in a useful field last time out and can earn.

JAZZ FESTIVAL is long overdue another win. He runs well on this course and although shouldering a fair weight he drops in class and can get rewarded. MISTER NIBBLES also takes a big drop in class and gets a 4kg claimer aboard. He showed up well in first time cheek pieces and can feature. RUN TO RIO steps up in trip but has gone close on this course. He will need to time it right from a wide stall. GALAXY EXPLORER needed his last run after a lengthy break and has a chance on his previous showings. I AM CLASSY and TWILIGHT WARRIOR aren't out of it either. Tough race.

SCARLET MACAW has a big weight but has been up against much stronger at her last two and could finally get her confidence boosted. Stablemate LILAC IN WINTER won her last two on this course and has a handy weight which should make her a big danger. MISS LADYATERIX did what was required to win on the Poly for the first time. She can follow up. PERILLA can be dangerous if the race is run to suit. LA LANDONNE has been a beaten favourite at her last two but both races were on the poly and she can do better on the turf. LIMITLESS SKY is showing signs of coming to hand.

CLAIR DE LUNE was narrowly beaten last run on the poly. She could finally notch her second career win over the shorter trip. SCARLET STARLET is lightly raced, has yet to run a bad race and was supported last time. She shed her maiden on debut on this course and is one to watch in the betting. Can ARVERNI PRINCESS score another win over her favourite course and distance? She has won four of her last five starts and must have a big say again. RUBY RISING could be the dark horse at the weights. DURBAN DIAMOND gets first-time blinkers and was up there behind ARVERNI PRINCESS last time.
