Whilst the focus will be on Turffontein, there look to be some horses with solid winning chances at Kenilworth.
R2) Pinkerton will not get a better opportunity of breaking out the maiden ranks. No value at 4/10, but worth putting into a multiple. Will be cherry rip and the betting does suggest will be hard to beat.
R3) Lit, has been knocking on the door since being gelded. Another having it's peak run, from draw 1 and if racing relatively handy, will take some stopping.
R4) Fleeced appears to be the stable elect, the danger appears to be stable companion, On The Scent, but stable jock Fourie has opted to take the mount on Fleeced although having won on OTS last time out. Going to trust Fourie's judgement.
R5) Finding Camelot, second run after a rest, but down in class and over a distance which he will be better suited. Whilst taking on some hard knocking sorts, he is open to the most improvement and the one they all have to beat.
Guessing has never been widely acclaimed as a good gambling strategy.

With one eye on the rugby, and the other on the formbook.
Fresh northerly wind ( tailwind) and some possible showers.
Race 1: Linda has useful form but may get some cheek from Festive Girl which showed good improvement last time. Lady Lu fair debut and should improve. Well bred first timer Silver Maria.
Race 2: Pinkerton bumped a good one last time and is the obvious one to beat. Ronaldo made good improvement last time and with further improvement could upset. Doppio Oro gelded and should make the frame.
Race 3: Lit has run two good seconds from wide draws and from plum draw here should win. Gold Medal should challenge, and although Myhopesanddreams a well beaten favourite behind Hubble, he should be involved in the finish.
Race 4: Sanskrift has some useful earlier form and must be respected. Fleeced and On the Scent have done nothing wrong and both look on the upgrade. Nana Anna is well exposed and the younger fillies preferred.
Race 5: We have Forty Days here- he was desperately unlucky last time when not finding a clear run. This field a bit stronger as there are a few improving 3yos, but we have a good ew shout in a competitive race. Captain Elliodor and Camp David look the biggest dangers.
Race 6: A tricky little race. Finding Camelot has earned a high rating with good performances in juvenile features, and has his first run gelded. Must be respected. Bernie has consistent form in the sprints but is also effective this trip. Orakal returns from a long break but could be a factor if fit.
Race 7: An open contest where the 3yos look dominant, but hard to separate them. Maybe Ferrari Red best form but Quickstep Lady and Hello Winter lightly raced and good scope to improve. Anton Marcus makes the trip to CT just for Bitter Lemon. Our filly Grey Princess has been a bit disappointing lately- blinkers go back on this trip and hopefully she will be a bit sharper today.
Race 8: The top three look closely matched, with a slight preference for Cross Court ahead of Pay Pay and Mary Moon.
