Trainer Candice Dawson could hold the aces in the first race of the day. SHOWDOWN KID ran an improved race for her workrider who teams up with her again. It looks the right race and Dawson has two debutantes to watch out for as well. ASHANTI is better than her local debut where she must have been in need of that race and made good progress last time. She will be at a peak and should make a race of it. All first timers have interesting pedigrees - respect support for any.

PHINDA MZALA can finally score in the 11th try. He has run many a good race and the best of his rivals here could lack the experience and allow him to take full advantage. LAZY GUY caught the eye on debut and new stallion Willow Magic has shown he can produce decent individuals. NATIONAL LIBERTY seems better than his last few and his rider knows him well now. Can improve to feature. More with earning potential but important to watch out for the first timers again. Follow the betting closely.

Wide open fillies and mares handicap to start the famous Pick 6 bet. PRETTY BORDER has been dropping in ratings and also given signs she is coming back to best. TAHITIAN ORANA is looking for the right opportunity and this may be it but interestingly she has run well without winning here. EX'S 'N OH'S wasn't far off last time and seems better than latest form. She could spring a surprise with the right tactics. Youngster JAVA HOUSE could be above average - watch her.

PRECIOUS STONE takes a further drop in class and could be hard to beat if at his best. But along with STARFLASH, PEARL OF SIBERIA and ALEX THE GREAT runs on the 27th of August and that race needs be scrutinized closely before making a selection here. All mentioned have the potential to grab the spoils.Another runner with a big claim is WINDY FLIGHT who boasts a strong finish and he doesn't mind dropping trip. MR HUGO is the one that can upset back over his best distance.

AFLAME should score her maiden win. She is overdue and only the slightly longer trip is a question mark. She runs on as if she is looking for it. CHARMING LASS has finished behind AFLAME both times they met but showed stamina over 2000 metres last time and may get the race run to suit. LIVERPOOL LEGEND is also holding form and should be in the fight if it turns into a sprint.It is a handicap and she receives weight - others receive even more weight. CORSAGE has an apprentice claim and she showed something last time.

SOLDIERS SONG was too far back in his penultimate and last time had a fight over further with a change in venue. He is knocking hard and should go on to score (but has drawn wide). FORT LOVE is also coming to hand now and gets his second bite at a maiden handicap. He has drawn perfectly. TRICKY BUSINESS finished behind FORT LOVE last time after beating him the time before and it's a case of who gets the race run to suit. Both can finally open their accounts. ZULUONMYSTOEP is an interesting runner - he may be over his problems.

FIFTH OF JULY may not have beaten a strong field but he has been improving with each race and runs like the trip will suit. But he will need to overcome a tough draw. HIDDEN AGENDA has drawn worse still. But he showed up well in a stronger race and could show the strength of that. The fillies and mares are weighted to go very well here and if SAMMI MOOSA repeats her last run she will be a big threat along with LAST CHEER who has done little wrong. KURT'S APPROVAL is worth a look as he is coming to hand again.

PICCADILLY SQUARE has been doing well from wide draws. She is back at her best track and can go close. CURVATION was not disgraced over further last time but is perhaps better over shorter. This could be the right trip for her.Youngster FEATHER THE NEST could be anything especially over the longer distance. She was backed in both starts but taking on older rivals at this stage is tough. PRETTY JOLLY and KIMBERLEY GREEN renew rivalry over further but should be right there. SHORT SKIRT FLIRT has a say. Tough end to the card.
