Race Summary: THELEIA looks the right horse in this race, she was just touched off late by Little Nimbus at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on the 25th of March, she is super consistent, on her current form, she is easily one of the better bets on the card. RARE EARTH never runs a bad race, she finished just over five lengths behind Theleia last time, there should be no excuses for this filly on Wednesday from a good draw, she will run a big race. PACIFIC WATERS ran a fair race behind Lady Orbit on the 21st of March, her chances will be helped with the 4kgs coming off her back from the apprentice claim, she has a good place chance in this field.

Race Summary: THE BIG BANG flew home late behind Volegov on the 30th of March, he has improved tremendously in his last two runs, he will be just off the speed early, and he will be running on strongly late, include him into all bets. PROTECTOR OF PEACE could be the value play in this race, ignore his last run over 1600m, the blinkers have been fitted on Wednesday, and he drops in trip to 1200m, on his best form, he can win a race like this. HILTON HEADS has been rested for 63 days, he has run two great races in succession, the tongue tie stays on, top jockey Richard Fourie has been booked to ride this gelding, he will go close to winning.
