Race 2: BRIGHT BLESSED DAY(1)
Race 3: MACKBOOL(4)
Race 4: GOTTALOTTALUV(5)
Jockey: A Delpech – Trainer: G Van Zyl
Keep an eye on Imperial Quest in the opening race as the favourite. BRIGHT BLESSED DAY was runner-up to this horse four weeks ago, returning from a 42-week break and will be fitter now. This Judpot gelding has found a weaker race today and is definitely the one to beat.

Race 6: FORAFEWDOLLARSMO(4)
Jockey: L Hewitson – Trainer: S Tarry
FORAFEWDOLLARSMORE has been improving steadily. In his last race, he showed strong late progress, finishing just a neck behind the in-form AMERICAN INDIAN, now he meets that rival on 0.5kg better terms. The horse has good potential for further growth.

Race 7: LIKE ASTAIR(1)
Jockey: J V.D.Merwe – Trainer: M Azzie
The quick LIKE ASTAIR benefitted from blinkers and a break as he dominated similar rivals over a longer distance five weeks ago. Although he was assigned five extra pounds, the lightly raced horse should excel over this shorter distance and is set to deliver another win.

Jockey: L Hewitson – Trainer: S Tarry
FRENCH LEGEND earned a competitive merit rating, finishing strongly in second place behind the classy stablemate Heaps Of Fun recently. She held off the subsequent winner Alileo by more than a length and looks strong against today’s rival SHIVERING SEA.

Race 8: ULTIMATE SHAMROCK(5)
Jockey: D Mansour – Trainer: A Laird
ULTIMATE SHAMROCK is a lightly raced four-year-old import with promising potential. She showed a strong finish for third place recently despite a saddle issue. Blinkers today might give her an edge, and she could surpass expectations.
