WHITEHAVEN did well in both his starts and rates the one to beat on form. After a good debut MOJITO MAGIC went wrong but if problem free here should make a race of it. GUNSTON wasn't disgraced on debut and could get into the action. KELLOHOLM LAD disappointed after a decent debut and could take home a lesser cheque. Watch newcomers especially TAKATUL and MAROON BELLS.

ULLA found support at long odds on debut and ran on smartly. She will come on heaps and confirm form with BRAVE ZNDAYA. CHOIR SINGER showed good improvement after a rest and could get into the picture. RIPTIDE needed her last run in KZN and should be thereabouts. Watch newcomer PERFECT TIGRESS.

SILKEN PRINCE eased in the betting on debut but ran on nicely to take 2nd. He should know more about it. CARBON ATOM should enjoy the shorter trip again and should be thereabouts. EUREKA EFFECT will improve on a fair debut and must be respected. RANGOON and THE BOSBOK will both improve on their debut runs. Watch first-timer MELCHIZEDEK.

PACHANGA sports blinkers for the first-time. She is knocking and has enough pace to overcome a wide draw. She should hold SING AND DANCE and OCEANS PRIDE on recent form. BOURBON BOUQUET is bred for this and further and should do better. RATION MY PASSION and MWELASE are maturing but could need it. Watch first-timer ISOVAR.

CHARIOT GOLD wasn't disgraced in the Woolavington last time and should make a bold showing. INSIGNIS is on the up and should enjoy the extra. LADY VAL is another improving with racing and must be considered. She is coupled with EXCALIBUR'S RETURN who should be cherry ripe. TIGER LACE, COLD ASH and SPRING POETRY are not out of it.

ALI BON DUBAI is honest and should give another grand performance. WALTER SMOOTHIE shouldn't finish far off but needs to relax in the early stages to turn it around. WHEEL OF TIME is getting stronger and should relish the longer distance. DROMEDARIS won his only try this course and distance. FORTUNE FELLA won last time and the form has been franked.

ILHA DA VAR is in form and should be the one to beat from pole position. The entire field is looking to lower her colours. MADEMOISELLE has been been running close up but the draw is against her. Stable mate COLOMBINA won her maiden easily and could go on. MACADAMIA has disappointed recently but could find it here. AEROBATIC could get into the mix.

Mike De Kock has a strong hand here with his 3 runners; ROYAL CRUSADE has been running close behind in recent features and gets the nod of the trio; PUGET SOUND is returning to best; PUNTA CANA needed his sprint in his first run as a gelding and tries a mile now. GLIDER PILOT sports blinkers now and could improve. Filly LONDON SECRET showed a return to form last time.

SECRET CAPTAIN has proven costly to follow but deserves another chance. COUNT TASSILO wasn't disgraced last time and could get into the action. Stable companion JIKA is not out of it. BOLD COAST is back in form and should run another good race. KILLUA CASTLE can never be ignored for money. SOLDIER ON could need his first as a gelding.

POORMANSLADY only won her maiden last time but doesn't take on strong opposition and could follow up. INTHEPURPLERAIN is holding form and should be in the mix. SNOW PATH hasn't been far off recently but a wide draw could prove costly. GATEWAY TO HEAVEN comes off a rest but has a shout in this field. Others with chances.
