May 12 South Africa (Fairview) form analysis
Inexperience seems to have cost (1) BAROLO in both her starts so far. She should go one better this time.
(8) SILVAN MISTRESS is probably looking for further but should be right there at the finish once again.
(3) DREAM TEAM was a couple of lengths behind that rival last time out and will need to improve to beat her, but she can play a minor role.
(9) VINO RIOJA makes her debut and could earn some money.
Race 2 (1,200m)
(8) CLEVER CANDY showed good improvement when a close-up third on debut. She may need further than this but she can win.
(1) GRAND ALLEGRO was too far back last time and did well to finish as close to the winner as he did. He should be very competitive again.
(7) ALADO'S HABIT is also capable of earning some money.
(3) BROOKSIDER is capable of getting in the mix of things as well.
Race 3 (1,600m)
(1) MR FOX is still showing signs of inexperience and a switch to the Polytrack could coax a victory out of him.
(2) CHEERFUL CHARLIE B was not far behind that rival last time but can get involved with the finish again.
(3) BOMBER BAY returned to sprinting last time but could be better over this distance.
(4) FIZZLY BUBBLY can improve being on the Polytrack for the first time.
Race 4 (1,600m)
(6) GREENLIGHT LEGEND backed out of the stalls at the worst possible moment and a false start was declared. She has won full of running in two local starts on the turf and can score again if she is as good on this surface.
(7) BOSNAY is unreliable but was only out of it late last time. She has a winning chance.
(10) MISTER WHISTLE and (9) PISCES are both in good shape and can earn more money.
Race 5 (1,000m)
(2) DRESSEDTOTHENINES clearly needed her last run and can bounce back to score.
(4) SWEET JULIA makes her local debut but does have a winning chance.
(8) SWISS PARADISE makes her local debut and would not be a surprise winner.
(7) MEDITERANEANGODDES is very speedy and can threaten over this course and distance.
Race 6 (1,200m)
Trainer Alan Greeff has a very strong hand in this race.
Jockey Richard Fourie sticks with (1) WHATEVER NEXT but it is (5) MASKED VIGILANTE who gets the preference. He has won three times from five starts on the Polytrack and is suited to this course and distance. Whatever Next is not an easy ride these days but should fight it out again.
(9) SWISS WALT has improved of late and is another one to consider, as well as (7) SILVONIAN.
Race 7 (1,400m)
(2) CHILI BOMB has improved of late and could complete a hat-trick.
(3) CHAMPONELLE remains at the top of her game and was an easy winner last time, so she could double up.
(4) FINAL EDITION is the other Greeff runner with winning chances.
Rival trainer Gavin Smith has (7) CHARLIE MALONE who ran on well to win his latest start.
Race 8 (1,900m)
(5) FLIGHT DISPLAY has only been beaten once in her three local starts and that was by a good filly last time.
(1) CALL TO GLORY is in good shape but has a difficult draw for her jockey to overcome.
(3) FAR REACHING makes her local debut and is trying the Polytrack, but she does have ability and can score.
(6) GET IT DONE is always a threat on this surface.

July 4 South Africa (Fairview) form analysis
Race 1 (2,000m) A tough opening race. (2) GLOBAL SCENE is battling to get out of the maiden ranks but was not disgraced last time and could do even better this time around. (3) BATTLE OF BRITAIN makes her local debut and could improve trying the Polytrack. (9) CELTIQUE is improving and has a winning chance. (7) CHEAP THRILLS has improved of late and is another to consider. Race 2 (1,300m) (7) ALEX MILLER makes his local debut after a change of trainers. He tries the Polytrack for the first time but does look the one to be with. (1) AMERICAN MATADOR disappointed last time but was in good form before that and should go very close to winning. (2) GLOBAL DRUMBEAT is in good form and can contest the finish again. (3) AMERICAN PITBULL has a place chance on best form. Race 3 (1,300m) (2) BEACH QUEEN has run in a better field than this. She returns to a surface on which she has run well and does look the one to beat. (3) AMANATTO makes her local debut after a change of trainers. She can improve trying the Polytrack. (5) DANCING IN WINTER and (4) RUBY CLAIRE are both in good form but are struggling to get a first win. Race 4 (1,200m) (9) CASINO ACE has only been modest in the Western Cape of late but that form may be good enough in this line-up. He does try the Polytrack for the first time after a change of trainer. (2) SWISS WALT will be suited by the return to Polytrack and is not out of it. (6) MUNCHKIN does not win out of turn, but is not without claims in this. Ran a nice second to Beachamwood Boy at his last start. (5) THUNDER MASTER and (4) JAMBO SANA have both been only modest of late but are capable of winning at this level. (7) NOTORIX and (8) RAVILIOUS are both carded to have run earlier in the week but could be in the mix of things. Race 5 (1,200m) An interesting race. Trainer Alan Greeff has a strong hand. (9) BEACHAMWOOD BOY has improved under his care and could be ready to score. Trainer Gavin Smith has four runners carded, and the best of them could be the improving (6) INDEBE MAYIBUYE. Beachamwood Boy's stable companion (1) DUBAI HILLS has improved of late and would not be a surprise winner. Another Greeff runner, (5) MASKED VIGILANTE, has a good record on this track and trip and could also score. As for Smith's other three runners, (7) DONNY TEE, (10) CHARLIE MALONE and (8) SILVONIAN are all capable of running well on this surface and could earn some money. Race 6 (1,200m) An interesting handicap. Two-year-old filly (1) SILVA CITY has run some good races against her own age. She normally finds a good finish, running past beaten horses, and could be good enough to see off these rivals. (3) JADE'S CABERNEIGH returns from a break but has won five times on this surface and is capable of winning again if fit. (7) CAPE CAPRI and (8) BENEATH THE MOON both make their local debuts but are not out of it on the pick of their form. Race 7 (1,800m) Greeff can take out this race as well. (6) FIRST WISH did not get the cleanest of runs last time. She has improved this year and should make a bold bid at scoring over this track and trip. (3) HONORABLE MEMBER is in very good form and should contest the finish again. There was not much between First Wish and (2) LOTUS ISLAND when they met on this surface. (1) GIDEON'S DAUGHTER is not without ability and cannot be underestimated in this lot. (5) VIHAAN'S QUEEN, (8) CALL TO GLORY and (9) STATE SECRET are three who are capable of getting involved with the finish. Race 8 (1,400m) (11) NEMOROSA is improving and could get the run of the race from a good draw. She will have to fight off challenges for both Greeff-trained runners Sharapova and Arabian Red. (5) ARABIAN RED is clearly a lot better than her last run would suggest and has a very good record on this surface. (3) SHARAPOVA is full of confidence after some nice wins and will not go down easily. (2) TREASURE HUNT also likes the Polytrack and could earn some money.

Race 1 (1,200m) (1) DANISH DYNAMITE showed signs of inexperience on debut and was beaten by an in-form experienced rival. She should improve and go one better this time. (6) SILVAN MISTRESS appears a difficult ride but is a big danger if things fall into place for her. (2) DARLINGBUDSOFMAY ran in a decent field on debut and can improve and contest the finish this time. (9) ZUMSEE is capable of improvement and could be more competitive this time around. Race 2 (1,200m) (1) WILD APPLAUSE has been a disappointment in that she has yet to win a race but she does look likely to go one better this time for Justin Snaith. (11) STAR OF ELENA has ability. Will be a threat to her elders. (2) CLEVER CANDY has improved at this centre and should contest the finish once again. (3) MIDNIGHT MUSIC showed improvement on local debut. Can do even better this track and trip. Race 3 (1,200m) (9) ELUSIVE BLACK returns from a break and has his first run for trainer Gavin Smith. He has been gelded. If fit and well, he could be better than his rivals. (14) ROYAL KINGDOM has been good so far. Can be in the finish. (1) GREEN OKRA changed trainers. Can be in the finish this time. (2) PYRO EDITION makes his local debut and can make significant improvement. Race 4 (1,200m) (8) SWISS PARADISE quickened nicely to win on local debut. This distance is not really a problem and she can follow up but it is a very open handicap. (4) HUGSANDHIGHFIVES returned to form with a narrow win and is capable of following up. (3) SMASHING and (2) KILMONIVAIG are both in good form and have to be included in all bets. Race 5 (1,000m) (9) SPEED RACER ran well above his rating when chasing home easy and impressive winner Mercantour. He can go one better this time. (1) ANUSCHKA'S WORLD is usually very competitive and should fight out the finish. He does give away chunks of weight to his rivals. (2) EVIES FIRST is unreliable but quite capable of contesting the finish. (3) CLIFF TOP has not won for some time but is always capable of earning some money. Race 6 (1,400m) (3) SILVER FALCON is distance-suited and well drawn. He has not won for a while but can score at any time. (1) MERCANTOUR has improved under the care of trainer Alan Greeff and can follow up on a very easy last win. (6) GOLDEN LINK struggled over further last time but has been at his very best around this distance and is not out of it. (8) DESTINY'S ANGEL needed his last run and could show significant improvement. Race 7 (1,000m) (12) HAPPY HOLLY was a very good juvenile. She has not been as good this year but a return to the turf should bring out the best in her. (7) TRIP TO MAPUTO and (6) KYALAMI GIRL have both made their way from the Western Cape and would not be surprise winners. (5) ELLORIX is also not out of it. Race 8 (1,600m) (6) GOT THE FEVER makes her local debut and could improve. (9) IN THE GREEN ZONE returned to form back on the grass last time and could follow up. (11) COURAGEOUS is also capable of running well. (4) COULDITBE has a winning chance in this line-up.
