SALANDER has been running on in her last two. Should be hard to beat on those two runs. Looks good enough to beat the "boys". SECRET TRAVELLER runs on and is never too far back. Can run into the money. DAVID'S FLOWER diasppointed last time but that was over a distance out of his range. HARRY'S HORSE may have a place chance on penultimate run but not first and latest runs! NORTHERN WATERS is improving, but slowly.

1st – SALANDER (31/20 F) (11); 2nd – SECRET TRAVELLER (3); 3rd – DAVID'S FLOWER (1); 4th - HARRY'S HORSE (2); 5th – NORTHERN WATERS (6)

STRILING LEAVES has excellent Gauteng form and hasn't come to Durban for a taste of the humidity! Will be hard to beat if finishing strongly. BLIZZARD BELLE has some good form and should be better back over this trip. GO CHIC ran her best race in five last time when running on. Respect. DEVON ANNE will be there or thereabouts. FAMILY FORTUNE is inconsistent.

1st – STIRLING LEAVES (13/10 F) (1); 2nd – BLIZZARD BELLE (3); 3rd – GO CHIC (4); 4th - DEVON ANNE (6); 5th – FAMILY FORTUNE (2)

TIME FORE CHANGE tends to lose ground at the start but last time finished much faster than he started. APRIL ROCK improved by ten lengths in his second start last time. Respect this one. CAT IN COMMAND is ante post favourite but ran a decent race in his penultimate start. Too inconsistent for me. HOUSECARL has decent form. Last two runs have been promising. Latest may have been a touch too far. PAYNES BAY ste a good pace last time but faded late. Best run in four by far.

1st – TIME FORE CHANGE (37/10) (2); 2nd – APRIL ROCK (6); 3rd – CAT IN COMMAND (18/10 F) (7); 4th - HOUSECARL (3); 5th – PAYNES BAY (1)

OOLA has done enough in her last two starts to suggest that she could win her maiden this evening. Should be running on. MAMZELLE has been showing encouraging signs lately. WIN OVER improved by eighteeen lengths last time. Still weakens late though. PURE LIFE ran her best race in seven last time. Still has much to do. RAVISHING STAR would be a shock winner, but respect jockey.

1st – OOLA (17/10 F) (6); 2nd – MAMZELLE (8); 3rd – WIN OVER (1); 4th - PURE LIFE (4); 5th – RAVISHING STAR (5)

FREUDIANA may have won last time had it not been for a saddle slip late on. ROYAL TREE has steady form and on best form could go close. ADHIRA must be respected on trainer and jockey capabilities. LADY CHESTNUT is never too far back but weakens. MISS TIGER EYES has also been weakening of late.

1st – FREUDIANA (3/1 F) (2); 2nd – ROYAL TREE (12); 3rd – ADHIRA (4); 4th - LADY CHESTNUT (7); 5th – MISS TIGER EYES (3)

RIO CARNIVAL has faced stronger. Has this race at his mercy. On the strength of his runs against some stronger oppisition, he should be hard to beat. TIPO TINTO can never be ignored at any level but Greyville does not appear to be his best track. FOURTH ESTATE has also faced stronger but has been a bit inconsistent of late. UMBRELLA THORN always runs well but this is stronger. COFFEE SHEIK is held by RIO CARNIVAL but will have to repeat some of his earlier efforts.

1st – RIO CARNIVAL (1/1 F) (2); 2nd – TIPO TINTO (4); 3rd – FOURTH ESTATE (5); 4th - UMBRELLA THORN (6); 5th – COFFEE SHEIK (3)

FLYING FELLOW won his post maiden last time against similar company. This is not a strong field and can make it his hat trick. Will be finishing well. STUNNING GUY will also be running on and one of his two wins was this C & D. WESTERN DANE got up to win last time. a bit inconsistent though. Chance if running on again. BURWAAZ won his maaiden last time at the third attempt. may need to find more. GOLD FLIGHT is improving again.

1st – FLYING FELLOW (286/100 F) (2); 2nd – STUNNING GUY (5); 3rd – WESTERN DANE (9); 4th - BURWAAZ (6); 5th – GOLD FLIGHT (10)

HANA can go close on her excellent post maiden run last time when running on. SUTHERFENI was rewarded for consistency last time when winning at Scottsville. Her only other win was this C & D. Should fight this out. DREAMY ECLIPSE will have to do more than in her post maiden. May improve. TOO MUCH FUN lost her way last time. Chance on earlier form. VICTORY TAKEOVER has been consistent of late but weakens.

1st – HANA (9/2) (5); 2nd – SUTHERFENI (357/100 F) (9); 3rd – DREAMY ECLIPSE (3); 4th - TOO MUCH FUN (8); 5th – VICTORY TAKEOVER (10)
