Race 1 (1,200m)

(7) VROOM VROOM ran a debut second to Gimmeanotherviking at Kenilworth on Nov 8. Hard to beat.

(3) LADY ORBIT ran just over six lengths behind Vroom Vroom on debut on Nov 8. Place claims.

(5) VIVO PER LEI has run two great races in a row. Place claims.

Race 2 (1,200m)

(2) BLACK ERIKA ran an improved third to Innerbloom on Nov 8. On that, she will take beating.

(5) FANTINE stayed on well for fourth in the same race as Black Erika on Nov 8. Watch her closely.

(3) WINTER IN AUCKLAND ran a fair race behind Innerbloom last time. Might trouble them all.

(1) SWIFT SERENITY is much better than her last run at Durbanville on Oct 25. The drop in trip is key.

Race 3 (1,600m)

(5) LOUI’S STAR ran third to Rose Woott at Kenilworth on Nov 19. She can shed maiden tag.

(2) BEAUTIFUL ONE ran fifth to Saachi One last time on Oct 18.

Race 4 (1,600m)

(8) PEACHES AND CREAM flew home late for fourth last time on Nov 10. Will love the 1,600m.

(6) HOMING PIGEON has run two excellent races in succession. The drop in trip to 1,600m will suit.

(1) HER WORLD ran a fair fifth to Rose Woott at Kenilworth on Nov 19. From a neat draw, she has a say.

(2) LILTING SONG is much better than her last run on Nov 19. She should be right there in the finish.

(1) COUNTRY TIME won a good race at Durbanville on Oct 15.

(4) MORFELIHA won really well at Kenilworth on Nov 2. She is clearly still improving.

(2) CHAMPAGNE MAC will need to improve quite a bit, but has dropped further in the ratings.

Race 7 (1,000m)

(6) DEMANDING DAVE won a great race beating Churchillian on Nov 15. Big run in store again.

(4) ELUSIVE WINTER stayed on well for third to Winter Snap on Nov 15. The 4kg claim is key.

Race 9 (1,600m)

(3) CHANCE ENCOUNTER must have a big winning chance in this field. The blinkers come on. From a neat draw, he will run a big race.

(1) CHARLIE BUCKET stayed on nicely for third to Man Of Consequence first-up on Nov 19. Now much fitter, he will be competitive.

(11) LOMU stayed on strongly for second to Diogenes on Oct 18. Drawn wide, but he can finish among the places.

(5) FORT LIAM could be the value horse for the quartet. Blinkers on. He will be doing some good work late.
