Race Summary: THAT’S MY BABY (11) has caught the eye in her Highveld starts and rates a bright winning chance. SHE CAN (10) ran an absolute cracker last time and must be taken very seriously.

Race Summary: LET’S GO NOW (3) won with a bit in hand and has been nominated for a Grade 1 soon. She is selected to go back-to-back and could end up being absolutely anything. BITCOIN BABY (1) gets the best draw, trotted up last time and should be in the first three. WOODLAND GLADE (7) has been beaten favorite in all three of her starts but should score very soon, if not today. GIVERS GRACE (6) is a must for the quartet. She has some ability.

Race Summary: LADY CANTON (10) has solid and consistent form and should be tough to beat. PRINCESS AZARIAH (4) is improving position wise and in this field can make her presence felt – she may still have some more to offer. THREE LITTLE BIRDS (7) is another that is coming along with racing and ran the best race of her career last time. Another big effort can be expected and LA DREAMER (8) is well tried but can be included in the quartet.

Race Summary: VENERABLE (2) kicked on well last time from a deep draw and today from a much kinder gate is selected to get it all right. DUKE OF AFRICA (6) is knocking very loudly at the door and is itching to win. He is a huge runner. BILLY OF TEA (3) is lightly raced and surely has a lot more to come. He ran on well last time and should earn again. PLAYER X (1) improved at huge odds last time and is the value selection for the places. Include him in the play.
Selections:
#2 VENERABLE, #6 DUKE OF AFRICA, #3 BILLY OF TEA, #1 PLAYER X

Race Summary: AERIAL DISPLAY (2) has won twice and placed five times from nine starts. He ran an absolute cracker last time and can go one better. ROCK FALL (5) is holding form and is as honest as they come. Plenty of cheek can be expected from him.

Selections:
#2 AERIAL DISPLAY, #5 ROCK FALL, #11 ARVERNI KING, #8 PROFESSOR SNAPE

Race Summary: Quite a tough race with some talented runners. BEECHAMWOOD BOY (1) goes well for Calvin Habib, is talented and is a good space at the moment. He can win. ENSUING (2) won his penultimate and ran a cracker last time when nearly winning again – expect plenty cheek from him. MR MASTER STARTER (4) went a touch off form but is making steady progress to finding top form again. He has ability and is a must for most bets. COIN SPINNER (11) is seldom far off the winners and should run another honest race.
