June 20 South Africa (Fairview) form analysis
(2) CASINO KING was scratched from an intended race at this course a couple of weeks ago. He is not reliable but can win a race like this.
(1) BUFFALO BILL made a good local debut just earlier this month and should do even better this time.
(4) ZAMBEZI SUNSET was only modest on debut but should be smarter after that first run under the belt, and can contest the finish.
(9) SOMBREUIL showed improvement in her second start but this is a tougher race.
Race 2 (1,400m)
(6) SILVAN MISTRESS has been unlucky but does get another ideal opportunity.
The Justin Snaith-trained (8) ZENA'S ACT showed improvement last time and does look the biggest threat to that rival.

(4) GOLDEN CROC is improving and could like this course and distance or even further.
Race 3 (1,400m)
(15) EXALTED LOVE has held his form in the Western Cape. He should get the run of the race from his perfect drawn and looks the one to be with.
(5) GOLDEN GREY has been a costly failure in his recent runs but can fight out the finish.
(1) GRAND ALLEGRO won at Fairview on June 13 and can earn some money if backing up in this race.
(2) AMERICAN MATADOR needs to do a lot more to win a race but can play a minor role.
Race 4 (1,200m)
(15) YOU'RE SO SPECIAL is knocking hard at the door and looked a bit unlucky not to win last time. She can go one better.
(6) WINTER IN PARIS has lacked a strong finish but can contest.
(5) TIME IN PARIS and (4) RUBY CLAIRE are both battling to get out of the maiden ranks but are capable of earning some money.
Race 5 (1,000m)

(6) EUROPEAN SUMMER returns from a break and can place.
(8) CAPTAIN TIK TOK won a good race last time and could follow up.
Race 6 (1,200m)
(1) SPLICETHEMAINBRACE is the class act and can bounce back to win.
(2) WINTER GREETING has not been showing her very best form but has a winning chance in this.
(10) SONG OF MYSELF was full of running when winning last time.
(11) HAPPY HOLLY is back on turf. Would not be a surprise winner.
Race 7 (1,600m)
(12) ENCHANTING CHOICE makes her local debut and it could well be a winning one.
Stable companion (5) WALKONTHEWILDSIDE is not an easy ride but she does pack a strong finish.

(8) TREASURE HUNT is capable of playing minor roles.
Race 8 (1,800m)
(9) GREEN MANDARIN had no luck in running last time and could do a lot better this time.

July 14 South Africa (Fairview) form analysis
Race 1 (1,200m) (1) CASINO KING is having his first taste of the Fairview Polytrack. He does set the standard for the race. (5) OLIVE OYL has been unlucky not to have won a race by now and should be right there in the finish once again. (6) WALTZING DOLL makes her debut. Keep an eye on her betting. (2) LARIUS LACUS was not beaten far in his three starts in KwaZulu-Natal and should be a threat. Race 2 (1,200m) Visiting trainer Justin Snaith has many decent chances on the card but (8) THE ROARING ROCK could be the best of them. He has yet to finish in the first four, but was not beaten far in some fair fields in the Western Cape, and that form usually holds up well. (7) BLIND FAITH ran a cracker on a soft track at Kenilworth in February. Returning from a break after transferring to Juan Nel's yard. (1) FLIGHT ENGINEER has been a disappointment in 2025 but does have a winning chance. (3) PRINCE ANTONIO showed improvement after a stable change and should fight out the finish. Race 3 (1,600m) (2) PIBE DE ORO struggled in Gauteng without finding success. He was runner-up three times and could win, after a change of trainer and trying the Polytrack. (1) GENTEEL is knocking hard at the door and should go close to winning a race of this nature. (6) PARDON ME has improved of late and should fight out the finish. (3) GLOBAL DRUMBEAT does seem better than his last run, albeit he lacks a strong kick. Race 4 (1,600m) (8) TAKE YOUR TIME has improved of late and is hinting at another win. Her trainer has her in good form and she gets a narrow vote to score. (7) ICE CAP has got close to winning a couple of times lately and has a winning chance. (5) LADY LUCK is in good form and clearly not out of it. (10) COLORAMA also has to be included in the exotics. Race 5 (1,600m) (5) ROYAL CITY GIRL was well beaten last time. But the runner-up has won impressively since then, so she must have a winning chance. (8) ARIVIDICIO is consistent and needs to be included in all combination bets. (2) GREEN OKRA was a very easy maiden winner last week and can follow up going a bit further. (3) JAMBO SANA has only been modest of late, but could like this extra distance and would not be a surprise winner. Race 6 (2,000m) Trainer Alan Greeff seems to have found the key to (2) MR FOX. He has been a very easy winner in his last two starts. A six-point penalty for his maiden win was followed up by a eight-point penalty for his impressive turf win. He can win again in a tougher field. (4) SLAINTE MHATH has been inconsistent but is not out of it. (8) RED WILLIAM is capable of making the frame when in the right mood. (1) HAROLD THE DUKE has lost his way of late but he has been in far stronger fields than this. He also ran well on this surface. Race 7 (1,400m) (1) MERCANTOUR is another horse that has thrived for Greeff. He was very impressive on this surface last time and can follow up. (2) SILVER FALCON has won twice on this surface and can threaten. (5) USA'S HOPE has done well on this surface of late and should contest the finish. (3) BUSH TRACKER has won four times on this surface and has a place chance. Race 8 (1,100m) (5) PRISCILLA MAISEY ran well above her rating last time and can win if she repeats that run. (2) ARTICUNO has been unlucky not to have won any of his last five starts and deserves a winning turn. (3) LE PREMIERE makes her local debut and can surprise. (8) ENCHANTING LADY is in good form and is yet another in with a winning chance.

July 11 South Africa (Fairview) form guide
Race 1 (1,000m) (1) AMERICAN EAGLE showed promise on local debut and can go one better this time. (6) RUBY CLAIRE is knocking hard at the door and should be right there at the finish yet again. (7) WEARINGOFTHEGREEN was a disappointment in Gauteng but, back to sprints, can improve for trainer Alan Greeff. (8) TIME IN PARIS is battling to get out of the maiden ranks but could play a minor role. Race 2 (1,200m) (10) WISHES AND DREAMS was green in both starts on the Poly. She can do a lot better on turf. (8) TANZANITE makes her debut but watch the betting. (1) CALL ME CLARION has made the trip from the Western Cape. Form only fair, but can surprise. (7) MONEY GALORE has run well enough in both her starts and has a winning chance. Race 3 (1,600m) (12) WILD FIG was caught very late last time. He is not well drawn but can win a race like this. (4) LOMU has made the trip from the Western Cape and is likely to improve. (3) HALF MOON ISLAND showed good improvement trying the grass and would not be a surprise winner. (10) ROCK OF FUTURA was not disgraced on debut and could have a lot more to offer. Race 4 (1,600m) (3) INNAMORARE was not beaten far in his recent handicap at Kenilworth and has won at this course. So he gets the vote. (7) LANCIAFIAMME is on the up and can be better than rated. (1) MASTER FORESTER is at his best around this distance and is not out of it. (5) LAGUNA VERDE is not without claims. Race 5 (1,800m) (6) WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN is clearly not weighted to win a race like this but does have ability. (3) GOLDEN PEACE has won two good races of late and can complete a hat-trick. (1) BINGWA is weighted to win this race and is clearly better than his last run would suggest. Race 6 (3,200m) (1) BOURNEMOUTH has impressed in his two recent wins and can take out this race as well. (2) ZATARA MAGIC has beaten that rival over this distance. Should be in the mix again. (3) JUAN CARLOS is very consistent and should have no problem with this longer distance. Race 7 (1,600m) (12) GREENLITEALLTHEWAY impressed with a good win last time. This is a much tougher task but she may well follow up. (6) GIMMETHATPEARL will be a factor if she brings her Western Cape form. (1) TIME FOR LOVE has proven herself at this track and will be a threat again. Race 8 (1,400m) (5) ENCHANTING CHOICE was impressive in her local debut win. This is a tougher task but she may well follow up. (9) WILD APPLAUSE took a long time to get out of the maiden ranks but she does carry just 50kg and could be a threat back on the grass. (3) MONTELENA has been unreliable of late but can contest the finish. Race 9 (1,400m) (11) ELSINORE was not beaten far at Kenilworth last time and this race is not any stronger. (3) IGUGULETHU is in very good form and will not go down without a fight. (1) CHILI BOMB has improved since a change of trainer and could have more wins to come.
