​RACE BY RACE PREVIEWS: DURBANVILLE@2012.08.15

Durbanville, 15.08.2012, Race 1, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R53.360, 12:15GMT+2

Race Summary: A tricky race to start the day. (5) FORT BUKLOH ran on nicely second time at the races when finishing just out of the places. A good draw at Durbanville is a plus and FORT BUKLOH jumps from barrier four. Others do have chances. (1) SHERIFF MARSHALL bounced back to best form last time out but does jump from a wide draw. He has a chance as do (3) COPPER MOON and (13) VILLA DEL LARGO.

Selections:
#5 Fort Bukloh, #3 Copper Moon, #1 Sheriff Marshall, #13 Villa Del Largo

Durbanville, 15.08.2012, Race 2, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R53.360, 12:50GMT+2

Race Summary: Of the raced runners (1) ROSITA TIBBS has solid form and could well be the right one in the race. The first timers should be watched with some nicely bred filly's taking their places. (4) AUGUSTA NATIONAL (Jet Master), (7) FOR THE COUNT (Dylan Thomas), (8) MAMSELLE DU BARRY (Captain Al) are all worth watching in the betting and any market moves must be seriously noted.

Selections:
#1 Rosita Tibbs, #8 Mamselle Du Barry, #7 For The Count, #4 Augusta National

Durbanville, 15.08.2012, Race 3, Gallops, 1200m, Turf, R53.360, 13:25GMT+2

Race Summary: (1) FREDDY'S SISTER looked a winner late on in her last start but was collared on the line. She has been knocking at the door and looks to be the right one in this race. (3) OUR DIZZY EMBLEM is another in good form and should be thereabouts. She is course and distance placed and can fight this out. (2) OUR WAY likes to race handy but may be best suited to 1000m. (6) BLUE TRAIN can start to improve.

Selections:
#1 Freddy's Sister, #3 Our Dizzy Emblem, #2 Our Way, #5 Lee Time

Durbanville, 15.08.2012, Race 4, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R53.360, 14:00GMT+2

Race Summary: (1) IN FULL FLO has run on nicely in her last two starts when losing lengths at the start. She gets a decent draw and can fight this out if jumping on terms. (2) RUBY SUNSET started at short odds last time out but disappointed. She is drawn well and can make amends here. She jumped badly that day and will be right there. (3) WILD LILI is improving and can earn a cheque.

Selections:
#1 In Full Flo, #2 Ruby Sunset, #3 Wild Lili, #9 Gibraltar Express

Durbanville, 15.08.2012, Race 5, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R53.360, 14:35GMT+2

Race Summary: (1) THE HELSMAN jumps here from pole position and must have a big chance in this line up. He pulled early in his last effort in heavy going and if settling looks hard to beat. (2) HURRICANE CHARLEY has very consistent form and should be thereabouts. He is a long time maiden but should bring home another cheque for the owners. (9) MAN TO MAN can improve on a modest debut effort.

Selections:
#1 The Helsman, #2 Hurricane Charley, #9 Man To Man, #3 Kasner

Durbanville, 15.08.2012, Race 6, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R69.000, 15:10GMT+2

Race Summary: (2) MYSTERY DAME has raced in two strong races of late and was far from disgraced. She may be getting on in years but seems to still have a zest for racing and can win a race of this nature. (1) M'LORDS THROAT has been touched off in his last three starts and will get it right again soon. Chance. (4) GRASP YOUR DESTINY is better than his last effort and can earn.

Selections:
#2 Mystery Dame, #1 M'Lords Throat, #4 Grasp Your Destiny, #5 Spy Glass

Durbanville, 15.08.2012, Race 7, Gallops, 1600m, Turf, R56.120, 15:50GMT+2

Race Summary: (7) KING AIR had very consistent form before putting up a poor last effort behind Count My Luck. His only win to date has been over the course and distance (7) KING AIR can pop up here at a nice price. (1) ORATIUS ran on well last time out under a well-judged ride. He was only penalised three points for that win and can follow up. (4) BAD NEWS MEEUWS returns from a rest and can fight out the finish.

Selections:
#7 King Air, #1 Oratius, #4 Bad News Meeuws, #6 Just Ask

Durbanville, 15.08.2012, Race 8, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R69.000, 16:25GMT+2

Race Summary: (9) AZANIAH has her second run after a rest. She was touched off last start by (8) PAMELA SUE who she now meets on 1 kg better terms and as a result can reverse the form. She was slow away that day and under a strong ride should be in the shake-up. (8) PAMELA SUE can follow up her last win and must be respected. (10) PETARA won her maiden well last time out and could relish this trip.

Selections:
#9 Azaniah, #8 Pamela Sue, #10 Petara, #4 Penthouse

Durbanville, 15.08.2012, Race 9, Gallops, 1400m, Turf, R56.120, 17:00GMT+2

Race Summary: An open race to end the day. (4) EXPERIENCE COUNTS was totally in control when winning her maiden last month. She looked to be full of running that day and must have a chance here. (12) PADDY'S GIRL did have (4) EXPERIENCE COUNTS behind her the day she won her maiden. She hasn't raced since then and can make a race of it again. (3) DESERT BREEZE and (2) WINGS OF FORTUNE must be included.

Selections:
#4 Experience Counts, #12 Paddy's Girl, #3 Desert Breeze, #2 Wings Of Fortune
