Tag And Release should get off the mark third-up

Race 1 (1,200m)

(3) TAG AND RELEASE ran on well in his last start and looks sure to be in the firing line this time. Big chance.
(7) REDFORD made a decent debut and will be much sharper now after that experience. Major contender.
(1) RABDAN was not beaten far behind Red Spice in his last start and is not a horse to ignore.
(5) MADE IN CHELSEA finished third on debut. Follow him.

Race 2 (1,000m)

This contest has some well-bred unraced runners, hence it may pay to watch the market for any support.
(4) ENTICEMENT has run well in both starts and should go very close.
(11) NOBODY’S PERFECT is likely to improve after a decent enough debut and needs to be respected.
(12) POLAR EXPEDITION gets top jockey Richard Fourie aboard which speaks volumes. She was not beaten far on debut, albeit 11th behind Shezaripper. With natural improvement to come, she will need to be taken seriously.
(6) WORLD OF SECRETS is another who is likely to improve after finishing five lengths behind the winner on debut. With the eye-catching jockey booking of Keagan de Melo, she needs to be included in all bets.

Race 3 (1,000m)

(7) HEDRIVESMECRAZY ran a cracker in the last start and will be a huge contender.
(4) SICILY is holding consistent form and needs serious consideration. He will be right there.
(6) MRS SHACKLETON is capable of getting into the placings.
(2) RACHETTU is capable of better compared to the last start. He now drops to the 1,000m trip and should be in the mix.

Race 4 (1,200m)

(1) FUTURE RED has been consistent and will be the firm first selection with Fourie up. She does drop to the 1,200m trip this time and a bold showing is expected.
(5) BLUE LAGOON is knocking on the door and will be the main danger to the top selection.
(7) BEFORE SUNRISE is making progress with every start and needs respect.
(2) LUCY’S WORLD is making steady progress and will appreciate the extra 200m this time. Do not ignore her.

Race 5 (1,200m)

(3) WINTER PEARL is holding solid form overall. He showed plenty of determination when winning his last start and looks hard to beat.
(7) JET A ONE was narrowly beaten by the top selection in his last start and should be right there once again.
(4) FORT RED is a game eight-year-old. He ran a cracker when finishing third in his last start and a repeat of that will see him finishing in the money once again.
(6) BONNE BOUCHE is a very honest type and another good run can be expected with Damyan Pillay aboard.

Race 6 (1,800m)

(5) LARK’S SONG ran well in her last start. She looks progressive and Andrew Fortune gets on extremely well with the daughter of Querari, hence she is the top selection.
(9) RED STATE is holding solid form and another decent run is expected.
(2) BACKINTHEFASTLANE has not been far in recent starts and can get much closer.
(13) ELEGANT NOBLE is very capable on his day and certainly cannot be ignored despite the fact he drops in trip.

Race 7 (1,000m)

(6) LYRICAL GANGSTER is holding solid form and will be the firm first choice. He ran a cracker in his last start and will go very close.
(3) WINTER PIRATE has shown ability from day one. He won his maiden impressively and looks to have plenty more to come. Based on that, he could trounce this field.
(4) TROIS SEPT HUIT won a gutsy race when exiting the maiden ranks and can go further.
(2) PALACE GIFT gets on well with Pillay and should be included in the quartets.

Race 8 (1,500m)

(4) AMAYAH goes for three wins on the bounce and can certainly pull it off. She has a decent enough draw and another good run is expected.
(6) GIRL MAGIC is another who is holding solid form and will attempt to reel off the hat-trick. She gets Fortune in the saddle, hence she will be a strong contender.
(9) APRICITY has a tough draw to deal with but ran well in her last start. Hence, she cannot be ignored.
(2) APRIL FOOLS’ DAY is a runner that caught the eye when winning her maiden. She gets a good draw and it will be no surprise to see her run a cracker.

Race 9 (1,400m)

(5) CHARLIE BUCKET came from a long way back when finishing second in the last start and should be a massive contender from a good draw.
(1) LOVE FROM AFAR ran well in his last start. From a top draw, he will have to be included.
(10) MERCENARY is holding form but does return after a slight break. He may run well fresh.
(3) FERRYMAN was disappointing in his last start when fifth behind Greenchoice. He has scope to go well, so he cannot be ignored.
