Corrupt bidding for a hat-trick of wins

4 days ago 83

Race 1 (2,800m)

(2) CORRUPT followed up his 2,400m victory at this level with a dominant last-start success under a penalty over 2,600m and, such was the manner of that career-best performance, a six-point rating rise is unlikely to prevent him from completing the hat-trick.The lightly raced (5) GREEN MACHINE and (6) SAMUEL SHARPE are maturing stayers with scope to improve over longer. They are weighted to pose more of a threat to the selection.(1) BELLEROPHON also can make his presence felt.

Race 2 (1,000m)

(2) CALADRIUS benefited from the fitting of blinkers to open her account in a Work Riders race last time. With the headgear retained and improvement expected, she looks ideally placed to make a winning handicap debut.Class-dropper (1) CHAMPAGNE PROBLEMS and the consistent 11YO veteran (5) JET CAT have the form and experience to trouble the selection.Hard-knocker (7) ORIENTAL BOUQUET will enjoy returning to this trip and should have a role to play.

Race 3 (1,000m)

(2) LOVE NOT WAR showed promise over sprint distances as a 2YO, so this shorter trip should be more to her liking.The consistent (5) ICONIC WINTER is respected on her Highveld return for a new stable, after a productive stint in the Eastern Cape.(1) WINGS OF KILDRA and (4) EXECUTRIX are capable of having a say in this line-up off reduced ratings.

Race 4 (1,000m)

The well-related (4) TEMPRANILLO was heavily backed to win a stronger race last time. She acquitted herself well in defeat and a repeat of that performance in her peak outing, off an unchanged mark, could suffice at this level.The lightly raced (5) SLENDER SILHOUETTE returns from another break but has shown enough to make her presence felt and remains open to improvement.Topweight (1) VERSACE ONTHETRACK also boasts solid form credentials against stronger opposition, so she should be competitive.(6) JAZZ PIANIST has earning potential too.
