Omkhulu Boss should call the shots third-up in Race 2

Race 1 (1,100m)

Mostly first-timers but of two that have run, (2) LADY GODIVA started as favourite last outing but was a well beaten fourth. Both her starts have been on the soft.

(5) AMC ROY’S FANTASY has not been far back in her three starts, but was running on late last time and the extra 100m should suit. Watch the market on the balance.

Debutantes (6) MIST IN MARYLAND and (9) QUEEN’S BOUNTY are worth your time.

Race 2 (1,200m)

(16) OMKHULU BOSS improved at his second start behind St Harry, who has since franked that form against winners. He must rate as the one to beat.

Filly (1) SMART CHOICE gets a sex allowance plus a further 1.5kg from Mickaelle Michel. It could be enough to see her home.

Stablemate (2) STEAMY WINDOWS was well beaten by the promising Master Magician on debut and should come on from that effort.

Another from the Mike Miller yard, (13) RIFF RAFF BOY, showed marked improvement at just his second outing and can feature.

Race 3 (1,600m)

(2) PSYCHE is a filly taking on males but has shown up well in her first two starts and the step-up in trip should suit.

(3) RED CARDINAL has been close-up at his last two over the distance. He was run out of it late last start and can go one better.

Stable companion (1) BOURBON’S BEAST has been knocking on the door and has the best draw. He should contest the finish.

(7) QUARTER MASTER steps up in trip but has shown up well in two competitive maiden sprints. He is one to watch.

Race 4 (1,950m)

(8) SESAME was a comfortable winner at Fairview last time. She makes her local debut but had good Western Cape form.

(5) TREASURE ISLAND has come to hand nicely at her last two and the step-up in trip could be what she needs.

There should be very little between (7) ZENA ROSE and (10) SASCHA’S DREAM, with a neck separating them when they last met. A toss-up between the two.

Race 5 (1,400m)

(11) PHUTULICIOUS has a big weight and a wide draw to contend with but is never far back. With some luck in the running, he could land this competitive handicap.

(13) SUN DAZED has the widest draw, but goes well over this trip and was a beaten favourite last run.

(6) TOWN CRIER is lightly raced and made marked improvement at his first run in blinkers. However, he did get a four-point increase in his rating which could prove telling.

(8) GORGEOUS GIRL was touched off over the distance last run where she carried a light weight. She has more to shoulder this time, but the stable is in form and she has a promising 4kg claimer aboard once again.

Race 6 (1,200m)

(2) CONVOCATION is seldom far back and was not disgraced behind William Robertson last time. She gets blinkers and jockey S’Manga Khumalo.

(11) TARA STAR has been consistent lately and should put in another good effort, with the form of her last run having held up.

There should not be much between (1) ONE SMART COOKIE and (12) BACK AT THE GEORGE as they meet on the same terms as their last encounter.

Race 7 (1,000m)

(9) MAR DEL PLATA has bottom weight and has been close-up in recent outings. He is also way better off at the weights with the consistent (8) CIRCUMBENDIBUS, who is one of the principal runners in opposition who has won two of his last five starts and was close-up in the other three.

(2) POSITION OF POWER is over his best trip with a handy galloping weight.

(6) JET LEGACY has won his last two over the course and distance and was not far back on the Poly last time.

Race 8 (1,000m)

(14) CALL ME JANE is seldom out of the money and was running on strongly behind the progressive (12) PERFUME POWER last time. She is now 2.5 kg better off at the weights and can turn the tables.

(9) CAPTAIN VENTURA was a recent maiden winner but was under a length behind Perfume Power three runs back. She is now 7kg better off and won well enough last run with first-time cheek pieces.

The same goes for (8) WINGS OF JOSEPHINE, who is also in smart form lately.

Race 9 (1,000m)

(7) NIGHT TIGER appears to have come to hand since her arrival from the Cape and was a good second behind the much in form (9) ARVERNI PRINCESS last time. She is now 1.5kg better off at the weights.

(4) INTREPID has a big weight but has been consistent lately. Can feature.

There appears to be many Polytrack specialists in the field, one of whom is (8) TRAFALGAR SQUARE, who gets a stronger rider aboard and can go one better.
