  • Our picks for Durbanville, note odds are correct as of 12:00 on Tuesday 13th October but are subject to change.

    • Race 2 Viva Asterix at 5/4. Looked more than useful when winning on debut from gate 12 and form of that race franked. Wide again here but a small field, fitness on his side compared to some market rivals and this could be another stepping stone towards bigger things.
    • Race 4 Eyecatcher each way at 10/1. Many of the leading fancies have drawn high, only third start and will strip fitter for latest when returning from a lengthy absence.
    • Race 5 Fog In Finland at 28/10. 3yo was highly tried last time and meets nothing of that calibre here. Still unexposed and Zackey an interesting jockey booking
    • Race 6 Clark Griswold at 28/10. Beaten 1 length in a stronger race last time, mark unchanged and looks well suited to this trip
    • Race 7 O’Tenikwa at 11/2. Like many is returning from a break but has gone well fresh before. The only C&D winner in a strong field well drawn at 4.

    • Race 2 Nixie Girl at 3/1. Despite being friendless in the market ran a cracking 2nd on debut at the Vaal. Form of that race yet to be tested but could prove stronger than the lines for her rivals here. Wide draw to overcome the main negative.
    • Race 5 Me And You at 5/2. Goes in search of the hat trick upped in trip, trainer looks to be placing her shrewdly and may still be ahead of the handicapper
    • Race 6 Surprise Party at 15/2. Ignore latest, run prior to that brings her right into it, holds a number of these at today’s weights
