Trainer comment:
Preview: a shallow race to open the meeting. MURPHY’S STATION (10) is coming along the right way and has a bright chance of going close to winning. He is drawn deep but can overcome it. ALFREDO (9) has placed four from seven and should win his maiden soon – today could well be the day! A TIME TO REMEMBER ( placed at long odds last time and if confirming the sudden improvement – can place again. GUITAR KING (5) has been costly to select and follow in his last two starts but can bounce right back to best – quartet chance. (Warren Lenferna 10-9-8-5)

Preview: A competitive maiden race where it goes beyond the first four selected here. UNDERTHEMISTLETOE (6) is improving with racing and the form line could be okay – bright win chance. SIMPLY COMPLICATED (14) ran a cracker first time in KZN and has a bright chance – the same form line as the first choice. EMERALD PALACE (11) is knocking loudly at the door and the door will open one of these days – big runner and MAXINE DU MONDE (4) is improving and should again run well – there are quite a few others with form that must be considered. (Warren Lenferna 6-14-11-4)

NIMCHA (5) raids from the Highveld and is seeking a hat trick – he has every chance of achieving it. FAVOUR (7) showed what he is capable of last time and if he were to go win again it would be no shock.

GOODTIME GAL (6) impressed in the maidens and might well be up to running into the money first time in open company. ARROW’S MARK (3) is never too far off the action and can make his presence felt. (Warren Lenferna 7-1-6-3)

Preview: MOUNT LAUREL (6) has run behind Summer Pudding and Anything goes – that form is good enough and she is therefore the first choice. APPROACH CONTROL (11) has ability and always runs well – he has not come to KZN for the experience and has a bright chance of taking home the Christmas Handicap. PEARL OF ASIA (1) and BABY SHOOZ (7) should run well and are inclusions for the quartet.

Preview: a very competitive race as it should be! MARY O (10) ran an absolute cracker last time and has talent and is the narrow first choice. GALLIC PRINCESS (12) has a deep draw but gets the services of regular rider Gavin Lerena. She has been holding form well in Gauteng and should run a huge race in this – include in most bets. INDI ANNA (9) can do better than her last two efforts and should have come on from those races – value for the places. LOVE BOMB (2) ran a cracker last time, has class and talent and could well be the one they all have to beat. There are many others with chances. (Warren Lenferna 10-12-9-2)
