(3) KOOKWATER could be ready for this debut.
(4) POP CHART and (6) SHOCKMAN are two Gavin Smith-trained newcomers who could go well.
Race 2 (1,200m)
(1) POETIC PRINCESS has been very consistent in the Western Cape and looks too good for this.
(4) NEMOROSA has struggled of late but makes the trip from Cape Town and could earn some money.
(5) ONE GIANT LEAP and (6) DANCING IN WINTER can get involved with the finish.
Race 3 (1,200m)

Race 4 (2,000m)
(1) LOTUS ISLAND has impressed in both local starts, winning by wide margins. Hat-trick doable.
(3) HELIOTROPE wanted a bit shorter but can fight out the finish.

(4) LADY ZULTANITE and (5) CANFORD QUEEN have been holding their form on the Polytrack. Can fill the minors.

(4) SWEETIE DARLING comes from the Western Cape. Watch.
Race 6 (1,600m)
(1) SPLICETHEMAINBRACE has been beaten only twice in 10 starts and both were on soft tracks. At the weights, she should win easily.

Race 7 (1,000m)
(7) GORGEOUS BOMB was well backed on debut and just missed.
(4) EMOYENI will have many supporters given that it will be Andrew Fortune's first ride back in KZN.
(3) RUBY RISING comes off a lengthy break but has ability and one to watch in the market.
(13) CATAVAR is a battling maiden but not far back last run.
Race 8 (1,400m)
(5) MO THE MAN loves the Polytrack. A win could come soon.
(10) CHEEKY LADDIE, (13) WILLIAM THE FIRST and (12) HOLOCENE can have a say.
Race 9 (1,400m)
(10) RANI TARABAI made good improvement last time and should run well in a modest line-up.
(6) TAKATALVI's best recent effort has been over course and distance and her last effort was fair.

(9) LONG STREET is struggling but has made headway.
Race 10 (1,400m)
(4) LEGAL THRILLER is well drawn. Gets narrow verdict.
(10) POTENT CAPTAIN, (11) BELOW DECK and (13) KING'S SAILOR are all capable of winning.
Race 11 (1,400m)
(7) SERPENTINE FIRE has started at long odds in both outings but improved nicely second time out.
(12) LAVA BURST is better than his last effort and has a strong chance in this line-up.

First timer (2) NAKANJANI is one to watch in the market.
Race 12 (1,800m)
(2) HARUN AL RASHID made a smart local debut after showing some fair Cape form. He has the best of the draws and Fortune up.
(5) GREEN MILE is a likely threat as he has been consistent of late. Step-up in trip suits.
(11) SAXON DYNASTY improved nicely second time out, albeit at long odds.
Race 13 (1,800m)
(3) PORFIRIO is up in trip but has no stamina doubts and a 2.5kg claimer up can see him home in modest company.
(14) SILVER PLATTER is still a maiden but has improved and does not have a lot to beat.
(8) BLAZING LIGHT is another Poly specialist but is consistent and also has a 2.5kg claimer up.
(4) ATTABOY steps up in trip but with luck, can be competitive.
Race 14 (1,600m)
(11) THE GHOST scored her last win over course and distance. The stable is in form.

Race 15 (1,400m)
(11) GO LIKE FLO has put up two good showings since arriving from the Cape. She has top weight but should be right there.
(7) WARRIOR ROYALE could prove to be the pick of the Mike Miller trio on jockey bookings.
(2) SAFE AND SOUND raced in feature company last start and was not too far back.
(12) SOVEREIGN GRANT has a wide draw but was close-up on the Poly last outing.
Race 16 (1,200m)
(2) FUTURE FLO has shown better form over 1,000m on the turf but he will have many supporters.
(4) LEXICAN POINT has shown up well in good company at his last two when sporting blinkers.
