Trip up William Robertson’s alley

Race 1 (1,000m)

(8) BELL OF ANGELUS has run two good races on this course and can go one better.

(10) MAGICAL SKY looked held by Bell Of Angelus. Keep a close eye on the betting.

(3) TREASURE ISLAND have money chances.

(1) CRAFTY CROFTY needs to be respected.

Race 2 (1,600m)

(4) ICE RAIN won on debut from a wide draw last time. She can improve from that.

(3) BROADWAY GIRL has been rested but her form has been consistent.

(5) AFRICAN BEAT needed her last run but her recent form has been good.

(7) ICE SUNSATION has a say too.

Race 3 (1,200m)

(3) GOOD LIVING gives weight to all but can put up a bold run.

(6) TOUCH OF HEAVEN improved last time. She is lightly raced and can strip fitter.

(9) THE GOLDEN GOAL is capable of winning.

Race 4 (1,200m)

(3) PRINCESS GOLDIE ran second last time after flopping on the Poly at her previous start. She is still improving.

(5) LA MADDALENA has been trying over further but finished not far behind.

(11) K M V RETROFIT has improved with each run and can feature.

Race 5 (1,950m)

(2) HARUN AL RASHID makes his local debut and Piere Strydom has been booked to ride.

(6) ART NOUVEAU is way better than her last run and the step-up in trip will suit.

(9) SOVEREIGN COMMAND has his second run after gelding and can improve.

Race 6 (1,600m)

(9) WHITE WATERS made a promising local debut and has run well over this trip.

Race 7 (1,200m)
