WOKONDA made a forward and fair debut on the Standside track last week. She is bred to be effective over further and should have every chance from draw No 3. TINDER DRY is a lot better than her run in KwaZulu-Natal. She ran a fair race at this course in her penultimate but she has an equally wide draw this time. Still a serious runner. FLASHY APACHE made further progress last time, finishing ahead of well-fancied and well-bred FLOWER'S RIDGE. He has proven stamina and rates a big danger. First-timers to consider - follow the betting closely.

LOOK YOURSELF finished second ahead of GILDA GRAY when tried over a bit of ground and looks in good form. She appears promising. ROUTE SIXTY SIX ran a forward race behind an older rival last time and is best forgiven her penultimate when racing over a trip short of her best. But interestingly her best runs have been in KwaZulu-Natal. GILDA GRAY is honest and will have every chance jumping from the best of the draws. SPLASH OF GREEN and CORAL DAWN are bred to relish the longer trip and could show much more.

MISS ELEGANCE raced in the Triple Tiara races and wasn't disgraced behind superstar War Of Athena. This is a better race for her as she is weighted to win, but on a line through Gee For Go she will have a battle with QUERARI FERRARI. The latter has a good record at the course and could be hard to catch if the race is run to suit. GAIAN GLORY is worth a look now. She gave signs she could be heading back to best when a fast-finishing 2.75 lengths behind QUERARI FERRARI last time. ECSTATIC GREEN and MOMENTS LIKE THIS are capable fillies who need to be watched.

Best weighted BOLD JAZZ would be deserving after running a fair race in the SA Classic before finishing fatigued in the Derby. He didn't stay the 2450m and back over a more suitable trip should give of his best. INDLAMU ran a cracker in the Secretariat Stakes, finishing just ahead of BOLD JAZZ, but is racing after layoff and has more to do at these weights. Watch out for REUNION who needed his first start after gelding. He won his debut like a superstar and may have needed a few changes made. BARTHOLDI is better than his last race and needs to be considered along with BOWIE who was an unlucky loser last time.

Beautifully bred SOUND OF SUMMER won his maiden as he liked even though he misbehaved prior to the race. He could be anything given his pedigree. He tries this sharper track but is going more ground with should suit. Fellow three-year-old GOVERNORS GLORY could be the one to give him a scare. The latter won a hard-fought battle, beating a useful older horse and is also on the up. STARFLASH confirmed his good form when third (to GOVERNORS GLORY) after a thrilling win. He could get a lot closer at the weights. Others with earning potential.

MASTER AND MAN ran a fair race even though suffering from saddle soreness. He needs to find a bit more for his first win on this track. HAVE A GO JO has run a cracker at the track and could repeat, but needs to overcome a wide draw again. OUR COYS ran a much better race with blinkers and could build on that. He does have to give weight to all which will be tough. If CASH TIME can adjust to the drop in distance he will be right there. His last win was at this venue. CALL ME MASTER is capable but needs to behave. FSQUADRON raced in the Derby and could surprise.

Open. Both HUMBLE TUNE and BOLD RESOLVE could enjoy this faster track. The pair, being three-year-olds, seem capable of better and while the latter has the better draw it is the former with the better prep. ROMEO'S MAGIC is in good form having won from a wide draw but has to do it again, which is not as easy at this venue. POPPYCOCK gave signs he could be nearing his best and has won at the track so must be included. KOOL BAIKAL won a nice race giving plenty weight to the runner-up and has claims, along with EARL who found his last race a bit short.

SERGEI has the form to open his account even if he is giving weight to all. He can go one better after finishing runner-up in his last two, which includes a pressing performance on the poly. MASAAKEN was too far back in her first try at this sharp track. She did run on and is maturing, so should get closer. ROYAL WEDDING has not caught the eye in three starts but has stamina in her pedigree, and with a light weight could show. MCEBISI disappointed recently but could be looking for a longer trip. WHITE FANG is a lot better than his last few and needs to be respected, along with WALTZING AL.
