According to the information from SA Horceracing, a tail wind is expected, so front runners probably a bigger advantage than normal; also lots been said about the draws, but according to the stats in Computaform, draws are not that big a factor?

R1: Goldandsilver and True Asset the obvious ones - but I think Hilaria represents the value as I think she will go to the front and should hold on for a place at least

R2: Even So looks hard to oppose in a weak field

R3: Roventas obvious chance on recent from, money for the first timer Big Freeze so must be included; value for me is Rebel House who should make the pace and could be hard to peg back

R4: Again the betting look spot on as the top 3 could fight it out - for me some value in Rouge Berry

R5: Stratocruiser really looks the part - In Tribute could get closer and I fancy Dogmatism to complete the trifecta

R6: Captain Bagg according to the betting is expected to follow up on his maiden win, but he could be beatable in my book; Olympian has run well at this track and should go close, and my value in the race is You Beauty - has won start to finish here 3 runs back and a repeat of those tactics could see her place at least

R7: Two competitive looking filles and mares handicaps to close; interesting betting support here for Nonki Poo, who has run well at Durbanville and also is coming down in the ratings - still I think one need to go wide here in the exotics - Can Cope is one that is a definite inclusion for me

R8: First choice for me is Rush for Roses from Silvane Spring - but many others (including Disney Queen, Abbey Creek Chrisaldame, Lucky Tuesday and Tiawana Tigress) not out of it.

Enjoy
