4th (3) Doctor's Orders
2D DanielsW/b Badenhorst/kennedyCould not finish better than last on her debut (25-1) running here over 6f; must make above-average progress
2nd (10) Lady Canton
2K De MeloP V LaffertyBeaten 3½l when fifth of 12 but didn't run badly at 13-2 over this trip (fillies race) 19 days ago (Greyville Polytrack); not the biggest surprise to see her go well
3rd (6) Sea Of Tears
3R A VennikerP M GadsbyMissed out by a head sent off 5-2 in a fillies maiden plate here (6f) latest, form boosted since by the third; should be involved if reproducing most recent effort
1st (1) Foreshore
2R FourieG S KotzenSolid effort when 25-1 third (here, this trip, juvenile plate) last week, form which has been nicely boosted; should go close
(2) La Cielo
2R KhathiG S KotzenFinished well behind the eighth, Amber Sky, (this distance Greyville, fillies maiden juvenile plate) four weeks ago finishing 8l behind the winner; hard enough to fancy
(4) Tephra
3A ArriesA WrightFailed to cash in on good draw (fillies maiden plate) when finishing last of ten latest at Greyville Polytrack; up against it
(5) Flying Dragon
2B JacobsonY GovenderNever posed a significant threat on her debut (over 6f here) at 40-1; should improve with a run under her belt although it was only a modest start
(7) Amber Sky
2S KhumaloN KotzenFair effort (this trip Greyville, fillies maiden juvenile plate) last month, form has received a boost; looks likely to be involved
(8) Captain Marvel
4J GatesL CrawfordRan well from an unfavourable draw over this distance at Greyville Polytrack (fillies race) last month when close second at 20-1; yet to get her head in front after ten starts; if stepping up from most recent effort must be considered
(9) Levitator
3S MoodleyP F MatchettComfortably beaten finishing sixth two months ago at Turffontein Inside; not a betting proposition
(11) Flower Festival
2M YeniN KotzenLast of 11 here over 6f in March; others are preferred
(12) Aleeyah's Unicorn
3S HlengwaA WrightWell beaten when eighth in a fillies maiden plate last Wednesday (Greyville Polytrack) on her second outing for this trainer; attempts to score at the tenth time of asking


SEA OF TEARS is strongly fancied to come out on top. She has seen the form of her latest run franked. Captain Marvel is possibly starting to look exposed while Foreshore is likely to be popular with punters, and Lady Canton is respected.

4L MxothwaP F MatchettDefeats piling up (0-9); could not manage better than sixth (maiden plate) last month (Vaal Classic); third at Vaal Classic, albeit some way off the winner, two starts back and no surprise to see him go well

PUERTO PLATA is strongly fancied to prevail. This distance may be a bit longer than Kashkaval wants, and Red Piano is respected.

5Reserve 3D S BoschBoasts a creditable three from nine record at this track; stepped up to this distance Twice Golden just behind when only just held (8-1) latest


Arverni King and Exceeder may have their stamina stretched over this distance while Prime Example is one to consider. But ROCKIE REEF gets a firm vote. She has won at this track and sets the form standard based on her most recent effort.

5T GoddenP B MuscuttA course winner but on a long losing run; behind Forever Mine and Silvano's Dasher (sixth and ninth) at Greyville latest running over this trip finishing towards the rear of 14; headgear removed; now drops in class but may be vulnerable


This is a pretty evenly matched field but FOREVER MINE could be the one to side with. He appears to have been found a chance to regain the winning thread and can confirm superiority with Silvano's Dasher and Battle Force who were behind him last time. Russian Rock has produced plenty of good efforts, course specialist Captain Fontane needs to be respected, and Royal Victory is respected.

3S KhumaloD C HowellsA course winner; creditable sixth here over 1m4f latest
(3) Tabebuia
4R FourieG Van Zyl (jnr)Landed Turffontein Standside handicap in good style making debut for this handler two months ago when obliging off highest career mark; hard to dismiss
(5) Kitchakal
3S VealeD C HowellsScored by 1l five weeks ago when obliging off career-high rating here in what looked an up-to-scratch handicap; this represents a step up in class but likely to be in contention
(12) Wiccan Warrior
3A MgudlwaG Van Zyl (jnr)Has won here in the past; last of nine four weeks ago (Greyville); might find this company a little easier but easy enough to take on
1st (9) Ponte Pietra
3K De MeloD KannemeyerCame out on top by 1l latest (Greyville) from career-high mark in what looked an up-to-scratch handicap; good effort when third here five weeks ago and progressing with racing; more on his plate this time but should be thereabouts


There's not much between those likely to be in the mix - Aurora Storm is respected albeit he is up in the weights while Kitchakal should appreciate this course. However, the selection is PONTE PIETRA who has the potential to rate higher and on his sixth career run, he looks the sort to keep on improving.
