A day where punters will get good odds and value for money. BLACK EGRET was backed on debut but showed inexperience. He will come on. Stablemate NOBLE KINGDOM improved in his 2nd start but races before this - watch. STROKE OF MERCY drops in trip but the blinkers could sharpen him up. LOVERS LANE disappointed in his first run as a gelding after a rest but could come on. Many are sure to improve and first-timers look likely to attract money.

GREGARIOUS GAL has ability but found problems last time, however, she is drawn on the extreme inside. Watch the going in the first race. SPLENDED SEASON should be ripe and ready and with an outside draw could take honours. EFFICIENT TRADER needed her last run and will improve. BACK TO THE FUTURE also needed her last run and improvement is expected. PRINCESS ILARIA enjoyed the soft underfoot conditions last time. KENTISH MAID could make the money. Watch newcomers.

RAIN IN HOLLAND has top credentials, including the Triple Tiara, however, she comes off a six-month break and is looking for further. UNDER YOUR SPELL forms a good stable back-up but she too could be in need of it. BON VIVANT, on the other hand, is a lot fitter than both and could take advantage. FOLLOW ME and MIDNIGHT GEM could make the Trifecta.

The HSH PRINCESS CHARLENE STARLING STAKES (Grade 3) for 3 year-old fillies over 1400m has attracted a strong field. FEATHER BOA beat MISS DAISY by just over a length last time. She has pole position and should confirm. CAPTAIN PEG is unbeaten and looking for number 5, however, she will be tested from a wide draw. Also, NONE OTHER and ORARARI GOLD (wide draw) shouldn't be far off her on collateral form. GIMME A SHOT must be respected. RIVER QUERARESS races for her new yard but could just need it.

The ALLIED STEELRODE GRAHAM BECK STAKES (Grade 3) for 3 year-olds over 1400m is highly competitive and many with chances. THUNDERSTRUCK, PROPHET and ARIVIDICIO have close collateral form and with fancied UNZEN as well as stablemates SHOEMAKER and UNION SQUARE have all drawn wide out. Luck in running will be the decider. Visitor ROYAL VICTORY hasn't drawn a lot better but could have the upper hand. MERCANTOUR, ANFIELDS ROCKET and BOISTEROUS could upset.

The Azzie yard has two top contenders in The GOLDEN LOOM HANDICAP (Listed) over 1000m, FAR AWAY WINTER and year-older SHEELA, who gives 8.5kg. However, CONSTABLE meets the first mentioned on 5kg better terms for 0.75 lengths and could come up trumps. GODSWOOD and VASEEM could get into the reckoning.

SAFE PASSAGE comes off a good third behind stablemate Sparkling Water in the Durban July and if ready should go close in The ALLIED STEELRODE ONAMISSION CHARITY MILE (Grade 2) over 1600m. Stable companions, HUMDINGER, who is still improving and looking for 4 straight wins, MK'S PRIDE (beaten in this race by BINGWA last year) as well as probable pacesetter FOREVER MINE, are looking for minor money. PUERTO MONZANO, RED SAXON (may just need it) and AFTER THE RAIN are more to consider for money.

PINK TOURMALINE and BOLD FORTUNE renew rivalry in The YELLOWWOOD HANDICAP (Grade 3) for fillies and mares over 1800m. The former beat her rival by 2.25 lengths and is 1kg worse off. She won easier than the margin suggested and could go in again. The latter is coupled with GILDED BUTTERFLY who is running well. However, CRIMSON PRINCESS appears to have her measure on their recent meeting. ADMIRE ME, TERRA TIME, SOUTHERN SONG and SISTER LIGHT could all pull it off.

BLACK THORN needed his prep run and should make his presence felt over arguably his best course and distance in The JAVA STAKES (Listed) over 2400m. LIGHT OF THE MOON is in top form and should make a race of it. She beat RAISEAHALLELUJAH by 0.75 lengths but is 1kg worse off - it could get close between them. JAIMALA must be there with a shout if he sees out the trip. MARCHINGONTOGETHER did well after a break and could get into the mix. SHANGO could find true form.

VANDERBILT took a walk in the betting last time and never kicked. If back to best should be in the shake-up. ANOTHER LEVEL never got into it after a slow start last time and should be thereabouts. BACK TO BLACK is 3kg better off with him for a 3.50-length beating and should get closer. BARD OF AVON wasn't disgraced in his first attempt over 1600m and can get into the mix. Stablemates CASTLETOWN and IMPERIAL MASTER are not out of it.
