Aug 8 South Africa (Fairview) form analysis
(1) BRIGHAM has not been beaten far in some of his recent races. He tries the Polytrack after a change of trainer and can win.
(2) PROLIFIC STAR is not an easy ride but should be right there at the finish after a good recent run on this surface.
(7) PICK A POMODORO is also capable of contesting the finish.
(3) GLOBAL DRUMBEAT lacks a strong finish but can earn some more money.
Race 2 (1,400m)
(1) PIBE DE ORO got close to winning on local debut. He did not repeat that performance last time but should make a bold bid at beating these rivals.
(4) STAND UP has improved of late and can fight it out again.
(3) CLIFFIE CLAVIN has shown improvement and should be challenging for top honours this time around.
(8) EXPLOSIVE GIFT makes a local debut trying the Polytrack and would not be a surprise winner.
(7) GREY WARRIOR is capable of improvement.
Keep an eye on the betting of newcomer (9) GLIMMER OF LIGHT.
Race 3 (1,200m)
(6) BUDDLEJA looked an unlucky loser last time and could go one better taking on her elders this time.
(1) DESERT CLOUD was consistent without winning in Gauteng. She tries the Polytrack for the first time but can fight out the finish.
(2) MIDNIGHT MUSIC has shown a liking for this surface and should be right there once again. Those three do seem better than the rest.
(3) PHYSIOLOGUS, (4) PENNY'S WORLD and (8) BAABOOO are all capable of improvement.
Race 4 (1,000m)
(8) LARIUS LACUS was very impressive when scoring on local debut. He takes a big step-up in class but may well be up to it.
(5) SWISS WALT has improved of late and was an easy winner last time.
(1) INDEBE MAYIBUYE is in very good form but does have to give that rival 10kg.
(3) BETHEL has been a disappointment of late but could earn some minor money.
Race 5 (1,000m)
(3) ARTICUNO suffered interference when looking a threat last time and could make amends.
(7) BONJOUR LA VILLE was full of running last time and could have more wins in the tank.
(9) ENCHANTING LADY is better than her last run would suggest.
(2) WHERE'S THE PARTY drops in class and could be a live danger.
(5) LE PREMIERE and stable companion (6) PROJECT RUNWAY are both capable of improvement and could surprise.
Race 6 (1,600m)
(8) MR BELVEDERE is clearly better than what he has shown of late and might surprise this course and distance.

(11) ARIVIDICIO is also in good form and capable of winning.
(1) CONCERTO has to give weight away to all her rivals but can earn some money.
Race 7 (1,600m)
(2) PAS DE NOM likes the Polytrack. He was seen to be making good late progress on local debut and can win a race like this.
(4) DOWSER is in good form and can contest the finish yet again.
(1) MASTER FORESTER has run in better races than this and would not be a surprise winner.
(5) WAZ WOUTER won his last two and is dangerous in front.
Race 8 (1,200m)
(3) WORDSWORTH is holding form well and represents a trainer in very good form.
(4) GUARDING THE WALL and (5) LUCKY SPIRIT are not reliable but are a threat over this track and distance.

Race 1 (1,200m) (4) MAKE BELIEVE was heavily supported to win on debut but could not match an experienced runner. She should be smarter this time and can go one better. Stablemate (6) WISHES AND DREAMS was a disappointment on debut but jockey Richard Fourie is sticking with her. (3) IVY did not show her best on the turf last time and will like it back on the Polytrack. (5) MONEY GALORE was not disgraced on debut and could have more to offer. Race 2 (1,300m) (2) GREEN OKRA showed improvement on local debut and should make a bold bid at victory. (3) BROOKSIDER is consistent and has a place chance. (5) GLOBAL DRUMBEAT showed improvement and should contest the finish. (6) FIZZLY BUBBLY and (8) MASTER WIZARD have some fair recent form and could earn some more money. Race 3 (1,900m) (5) BATTLE OF BRITAIN has a couple of well beaten fourth place finishes in Gauteng and that form may be good enough to win this. (1) GLOBAL SCENE has been disappointing of late but can contest the finish. (2) OH MANDY usually runs on late and is not out of it. (3) FANTASY GIRL has been a disappointment so far but could like this longer distance. Race 4 (1,900m) (9) RED WILLIAM remains in very good shape and deserves a winning turn after some nice runner-up performances. (1) JACK IN THE GREEN likes the Polytrack. Has a winning chance. (5) SLAINTE MHATH is in good form. Can surprise. (6) ROLL OF THE DICE could be a threat if allowed a soft lead on a surface he clearly likes. Race 5 (2,000m) (9) TAKE YOUR TIME has been a bit unlucky of late and could make all the running one of these days. (4) DARLING HARBOUR finished off her race nicely last time and can go one better. (5) THREE CHEERS is in good form and can contest the finish once again. (8) DUTCHESS D'ORANGE and (10) MOTHERSHIP have also done enough of late to hold winning chances. (1) LADY ZULTANITE likes this surface and is not out of it. Race 6 (1,200m) (4) STRATA disappointed last time when slowly away. She has won on this surface and has Fourie in the saddle. (5) SHARAPOVA is very consistent. This track and trip suit. (7) JAMBO SANA likes this course and distance. (8) SEE YOU IN A BIT and (9) THREAD OF LIFE can also get into the thick of things. Race 7 (1,600m) (7) DYNALLEY was heavily backed to win on the turf recently. He tired badly late but could show significant improvement back on the Polytrack. (8) FINAL EDITION and (9) HOLOCENE are both in good form and quite capable of winning in this division. (1) SLINGS AND ARROWS ran close up in a better field than this last time. Race 8 (1,400m) (8) CITY OF DREAMS is improving and could be better than her current handicap rating. (1) COURAGEOUS has done best on the Polytrack of late and could contest the finish. (5) LADY LUCK bounced back to form with a good win last time. (6) ICE CAP is better than her last run would suggest and has a winning chance.

Race 1 (1,200m) An interesting start to the day. (2) CASINO KING has made the trip from the Western Cape. He should be a big player in this race. (11) YOU'RE SO SPECIAL showed promise on her debut and she should be winning her first race soon enough. Keep an eye on the betting as there are newcomers that are well bred. (9) STAR OF ELENA has run well in all three of her starts and can fight out the finish. (1) BUFFALO BILL looks all right among the first timers. Keep safe. Race 2 (1,000m) (6) NORTH STAR is an Erik The Red filly and she may well be ready to score on debut. (3) HAZE AND SMOKE is a Potala Palace filly who represents a trainer who can win on debut. (4) IVY showed improvement with blinkers on last time and is probably the best of the raced runners. (2) FOCAL POINT can be included in the exotics. Race 3 (1,000m) (3) ARTICUNO is knocking hard at the door and looks ready to score. (4) INDEBE MAYIBUYE is improving and can score again. (1) BASINGSTOKE needed her run on the Polytrack and should strip fitter this time and could surprise. (2) SWEETIE DARLING is not reliable but she is also not out of it. Race 4 (1,200m) (3) SONG OF MYSELF has had only five starts and she ran some promising races in the Western Cape. She sets the standard on her local debut. (1) ABOUND is better than his last run would suggest and is distance-suited, so should be included in all bets. (2) MASKED VIGILANTE is probably at his very best on the Polytrack but is also capable of winning on the turf. (9) GUARDING THE WALL is not reliabe but does also have a winning chance. Race 5 (1,400m) (2) MIDNIGHT MUSIC is improving and could go one better. (3) UMZOLOZOLO makes her local debut and should contest the finish. (7) PENNY'S WORLD is not out of this. (8) DANCING IN WINTER is in good form and can make the frame again. Race 6 (1,400m) (5) IGUGULETHU has won his last two starts but goes up in the weights. (6) FINAL TRY ran well on local debut and should be very competitive this time. (10) RUN THE WORLD showed some improvement last time and should have something to offer, having made the trip from Cape Town. (4) ONE SCOTCH makes his local debut and can surprise. Race 7 (2,000m) (1) MY BEST SHOT continues his impressive winning streak. He was a facile winner of the East Cape Derby last time and can win again. He is, however, out at the weights with his stable companion, (3) JOY AND PEACE. That filly won last year's East Cape Derby, so it is an interesting class. Joy And Peace seemed to find the distance too far for her last time and is at her very best around this distance. (2) ZATARA MAGIC is at the top of his game and will not go down without a fight. (5) GLOBAL ALLY is consistent and can earn some more money. Race 8 (2,400m) (4) FIRST WISH had stable companion (3) LOTUS ISLAND behind her when they met in the East Cape Derby and that form does look the pick of the race. First Wish has got better with each increase in distance and she should score. (6) GREENLITEALLTHEWAY will appreciate it back on the grass and could be a danger trying this longer distance. (2) WOMAN'S WORLD has not been at her best of late but could threaten if left alone up front. Race 9 (1,600m) (2) LADY SILVANO is probably at her very best over further but gets a narrow vote to score. (1) LUNA HALO has let her supporters down lately but could bounce back to win over a course and distance that suits her. (5) HONORABLE MEMBER found the distance a bit much last time and should be a threat to these rivals. (9) GRANDIOSA boasts two wins over the trip and should improve second-up.
