Race 1 (1,200m)

(8) APEX PREDATOR has drawn wide but the Richard Fourie booking is always a good pointer.

(2) PLETTENBERG has a better draw, ran second last start.

(1) RED MOUNTAIN may prefer further but has shown promise over course and distance.

(3) SUMMER SHADE drops back to a sprint with first-time blinkers.

Race 2 (2,000m)

(7) TAMBALA made a nice debut and the step-up in trip should suit.

(8) POWER STAR stayed on last start. A repeat will see him close.

(1) BASIE RAAKVAT is coming to hand and can feature.

(6) TORIX NIGHT has not been far back over shorter.

Race 3 (1,200m)

(1) MASTER JOSH has run two forward races since returning from a break. Has the best of the draw.

(8) NELSON BAY may prefer it further but he is smart on his day.

(5) MUSIC IS LIFE is down in class. A 4kg claimer up should make him competitive.

(4) ENSUING is way better than his last effort back from a lengthy break. Has come on from that run.
