MISS WALES should be at peak fitness and should make a bold bid here. FLAMINGO VLEI is improving with racing and represents a real live threat. BANDOLA could get into the picture but has a wide draw and misbehaves at the start. ERHARDT tries a mile and could take home a minor cheque while TIMBER HITCH and SHEPHERD'S DELIGHT are looking to improve.

AL HAMD was narrowly beaten last time. He was 4 lengths in front of PRIVATE SWAROVSKI and 6 lengths in front of HUHI - both had their first runs as geldings after a rest and will come on. JACKMAN meets WESTERN WARRIOR before this - watch the form. Both jump from wide draws here. REBEL BARON needed his last run and will enjoy the extra. CALL TO BATTLE is now a gelding - watch.

MAIN ROLL is improving with racing. She was hampered by a slipped saddle last time and jumps from pole position. AEROBATIC is bred for further but has good early speed and a good draw to get away. TANDANA has disappointed before and appears difficult. It could be her turn here. GOLDEN MEMORIES finished in front of TANDANA before but is unreliable. Watch newcomer coupling.

FLYING RUSSIAN loves 2nd box (runner-up in his last 4) but could get it right here. BRAVE NATION eased in the betting on debut as a gelding and was narrowly beaten. He will come on. BANDANNA wasn't far behind him but races before this and the form warrants updating. MR RAMBO is finding form again but stable mate PRINCE OF WAR should get close to him. Watch newcomer THE LOTSKY.

Tricky race where most runners have met and beaten each other before. Luck in running will play a major role. KAPITAN won his 5th start last time and the odds of following up look slim, however, he holds CAPTAINOFMYHEART who should finish together with TOMMY WATERDEVIL on collateral form. MAGIC is honest but the form brings FIDELIO, RAFA and GUNFIGHTER into the picture.

Open. WINNING SISTER is a late maturer and needed her last run badly. INKOLO has a good draw and if repeats last effort should be thereabouts. INDZABA comes off a rest but is capable. BEAUTIFUL SHAY can never be ignore. SEEKING GOLD (wide draw) and TANGERINE LADY are two of many looking to pull it off.

Most runners in a big field have winning claims. BUSH PILOT is only having his 5th start but with POST GRAD and PATRIC starts from wide draws. Lightly raced SMARTIFACT, STARRETT CITY, DETONATION, JUST CRUISED IN, ARLINGTON and KING OF BLUES can only improve. MY TREASURE, DAWN ASSAULT, FANGIA and LORD WINDSOR are not out of it. That leaves SHOTGUN RIDER...

COOL FANTASY should be at peak fitness and gets the nod in another open race. RIBBONOFMOONLIGHT ran on strongly in her penultimate and if sound should be thereabouts. SPRING INDEED has scope for improvement and is coupled with COSMO RUSSE who is in with a shout. BALALAIKA showed improvement in her last outing. FISH RIVER CANYON is better than her last run.
