Race Summary: EL COHETE showed plenty speed out the gates when finishing third behind In Hot Water on the 19th of May, the yard thinks highly of this filly, she will love the drop in trip to 1000m, she has a big winning chance here. MY BONNY BOY has been rested and gelded, he should improve. Again, this looks a tricky contest with a number of well-bred first timers lining up.

Race Summary: ROMAN BEAUTY didn’t find much under pressure when well beaten by Reef Runner on the 16th of May, she is much better than that performance, in hope that the conditions turn up on the good side, she will run a big race here. PITERAQ is very hard to win with, the cheek pieces have been fitted, and top jockey Richard Fourie sticks with this filly, on her best form, she will be competitive. RUBY REX has been rested for 240 days, her form is consistent, if she doesn’t need the run back after a lengthy break, she could trouble them all in the finish. KEIRA ROSE has been rested for 62 days, she was a touch disappointing last time, if she bounces back to her best form, she can run a place. Watch the market closely with the first timer Red Flag, she wouldn’t need to be special to make a winning debut in this field.
Selections: #7 ROMAN BEAUTY, #4 PITERAQ, #5 KIERA ROSE, #3 RED FLAG

Race Summary: ECHO FOXTROT stayed on well for third with the blinkers fitted last time, he has a low weight on his back again for this open maiden contest, this doesn’t look to be a strong race on paper, if he brings his last run to the track again on Tuesday, he will be hard to beat from a good draw. GLENALMOND has run two nice races in succession, he ran a great race behind Spanish Verse on the 27th of April, with some luck in running from a tricky draw, he will be right there in the finish.
