Aug 6 South Africa (Greyville) form analysis
Race 1 (1,400m) (4) MOHAVE PRINCE ran a tremendous second to the promising Green Gateway at just his second outing. He has a good draw and a strong winning chance. (5) GLOBAL WARRIOR raced greenly on debut, but the winner Soldier Boy was deemed good enough to line up in Grade 1 company. (6) WONDERFUL TONIGHT was narrowly beaten over the course and distance on debut. With that experience, he should be in the firing line. (3) CARNARVON has useful Highveld form over the trip and has a strong winning chance. (11) MASTER DU ROUVRAY has a wide draw and has been rested, but he showed some promise. Race 2 (1,400m) (7) CATCH A PENNY has placed in all 10 starts and should go close again. (6) SPLASH OF LOVE stays the trip. She should feature prominently in this line-up. (3) OMNIA has had only three outings, and her best effort was over the course and distance. (2) INTRO has put in two fair efforts with blinkers. Race 3 (1,400m) Mark Khan makes his first visit to KZN as a trainer and saddles two runners. The better could be (3) SOLAR SAIL, who ran third to Legend Of Arthur in the Grade 1 South African Derby over 2,450m last time in March. This should be on the short side, but he does have a touch of class. (6) GO GRAYSON GO has been knocking at the door and is well in at the weights. This trip will suit. (4) TWO MILES WEST has not been out of the money in his last four starts. The trip will suit and he has a neat draw. Khan's second runner (8) COPPOLA is effective over the trip, but has a wide draw to contend with. Race 4 (1,200m) (1) CAPRICIOUS MISS got a 10-point hike in the ratings after her much improved last run. She enjoyed the Poly and, from pole position, she should be competitive again. At the other end of the barrier, (11) CHERICHERILADY has her first run for Paul Gadsby. She comes with some fair Highveld form and does not meet a strong field, so keep an eye on her. (4) QUEEN OF THE SPEAR was disappointing in her recent runs, but she can improve. (5) DI ROSA is seldom too far back, but she is struggling for her maiden win. (7) MS GALORE caught the eye in all three starts, suggesting that she is much better than her form. She has been rested, but comes from an in-form stable. Race 5 (1,000m) (4) ONE IRISH ROVER was narrowly beaten by his stable companion Lou The Legend last time on the Poly. His last win was over this distance. (2) LIONS EYE has improved at recent outings and Sean Veale has chosen this ride ahead of (8) PURPLE POWAHOUSE, who looks to be the best of Alyson Wright's three runners. The nine-year-old has solid form over the course and distance, and should be competitive again. Stablemate (6) WHEREVERILAYMYHAT has been consistent lately and has a money chance. Race 6 (1,400m) (6) STAR IN MOTION was a maiden winner last time, and had consistent form leading up to that win that has been franked. (5) CARDINAL CHIEF won at his second run for Garth Puller and looks progressive. He has a handy weight and this trip should suit. (1) RUN FOREST RUN was a late starter and obviously has some issues. He had his third run when shedding his maiden back in May, but does appear to have some scope. (10) EL DANTE surprised with his win last time, but he has a big weight and a wide draw. Race 7 (1,400m) It is tough to win three races on the bounce but (5) WING WALKER has made steady progress and is unbeaten on the Poly, albeit switches to the turf. He was doing his best work late last time, so the step-up in trip should not be an issue. (8) SEA SHANTY has been in mustard form on the Highveld, but has hardly moved in the handicap. He is over his optimum trip and will be a big threat to the first choice. (1) KING OF NUMBERS sees a rare foray into KZN by Brett Webber. The gelding has consistent Highveld form recently and has a plum draw. The blinkers come off (2) GRIFFIN PARK as he steps up in trip with Veale, no doubt giving the feedback to MJ Odendaal. Race 8 (1,400m) (10) SCHOOL POLICY made a smart local debut when a beaten favourite and with the blinkers removed, but should improve on that showing. Drawn outside of her is (11) PROM QUEEN, who is holding form well. The draw is a concern. (4) AVERNIAN GODDESS is seldom out of the money, and the step-up in trip suits her well. (8) HAPPY FORTUNE has shown up well in two starts and is in good shape. She has a strong winning chance.

July 20 South Africa (Scottsville) form analysis
Race 1 (1,200m) (7) BLACK FROST was not far back on his Poly debut but has run well on this course. Rachel Venniker is back from injury with her 1.5kg allowance. (9) BOURBON'S BEAST started at long odds in both starts but was much improved last time and the stable is in form. (8) MOHAVE PRINCE was a modest fourth on debut but experience should bring him on. (10) GREEN GATEWAY is a regally bred debutant and one to watch in the betting. Race 2 (1,000m) (1) CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT has shown promise in two runs, and was not far back in a strong maiden last time. With a 4kg claimer up, she should be competitive. (6) MISS KANSAS made a smart debut over course and distance but ran well below form at her last start. Big chance on her debut effort. (5) DREAM DECISION raced green on debut on this course and should come on with the run. (8) QUEEN FENN is consistent and can feature in this line-up. Race 3 (1,400m) (5) CATCH A PENNY has not been out of the money in nine starts and has gone close over this distance. She takes on males but should be thereabouts again. (8) NEXT OF KIN was a beaten favourite in just his second start. He has shown up well in both outings and this trip should suit. (6) DIGITAL ASSET was staying on gamely behind the highly rated Bruh last time. He has improved with each outing. (4) CARNIVAL PARK is another who has been improving all the while and the stable is in form. Race 4 (1,400m) (1) FLYING SOUTH was narrowly beaten last start. She steps up in trip but has the best of the draws in what appears to be a modest line-up. (6) MISS TWINKLE raced greenly on debut but did find some market support. She is sure to come on with the outing. (10) SKIPPER O'MALLEY has shown some ability and has a fair money chance. (12) SNEEUWITJIE gets first-time blinkers and a light weight. She can surprise. Race 5 (2,400m) (9) LADY MY LADY is a lightly raced four-year-old who goes the trip for the first time. However, she has only 49kg to shoulder and was not far back at her last two. (3) ESCAPOLOGIST loves this course and distance and goes well for Cole Dicken. A repeat of her last effort will see her close again. (6) OUR LADY FATE steps up in trip but has had two promising warm-ups leading into the race. She should stay the trip and is one to follow in the market. (4) SHINY BOB won well last time. Gets 4kg claim. Race 6 (1,000m) (7) ICY ELEANOR disappointed first-up on the Poly but has done well over course and distance. (5) VISION TO ACHIEVE is in cracking form over course and distance but found Hot Pearl in a galloping mood last time. (1) HAPPY ANALIA gets first-time blinkers. Her last win was over course and distance. (6) HURRICANE CAT was much improved when winning first-up with a tongue-tie. She is quick and has a chance again. Race 7 (1,400m) (3) THESUPERNOVASTAR was much improved with blinkers off. A repeat effort over course and distance will see him in the mix. (4) BEACH PALACE was two lengths back to Thesupernovastar when they last met, but Callan Murray takes over the apprentice. (7) SAIL TO THE MOON had his first outing for Yogas Govender in the same race, after arriving from the Western Cape where the form stacks up well in KZN. (6) ATTABOY with Gavin Lerena replacing an apprentice should show big improvements. Race 8 (1,400m) Mike Miller has three chances but on jockey bookings, (4) ETHEREAL VIEW is the stable elect. Wide on Poly last start but has good form over the trip. (5) RADU is holding form well and is back over what looks to be her optimum trip. (11) PROM QUEEN is drawn wide but has come on well of late. With some luck in running, should contest the finish. (10) SKYTRIX also has a wide draw but has a 4kg claimer aboard. Not the worst.
