July 25 South Africa (Fairview) form anaylsis
Race 1 (2,400m)
(1) GARDEN SUN was found to be not striding out when a disappointing fifth. He tries even further this time. He was in good form before that.
(5) GLOBAL SCENE made good late progress last time, so should like this distance.
(6) SEMPRE BELLA improved on the Polytrack but could have more to offer.
(4) INCENDIARY should like this longer distance and could show vast improvement.
Race 2 (1,600m)
More was expected from (2) BEACH QUEEN but she appeared to hate the Polytrack. She is better than that run suggests and can bounce back to beat these rivals.
(3) AMANATTO needed the last run on the Polytrack and should be a threat back on the grass.
(4) JUST FOR U is holding form and is clearly not out of it.
(1) GENTEEL is not reliable but can contest the finish.
Race 3 (1,600m)
(4) MR FOX seemed to be undone by a slow pace last time. He was very impressive in his penultimate start which was on the grass and he can bounce back to score.
(2) DOWSER put in a very good effort last time and can contest the finish again.
(5) GREEN MANDARIN has been unlucky twice in a row and looks likely to contest the finish this time.
(7) HAARLEM is in good form and would not be a surprise winner.
Race 4 (1,600m)
(4) RED WILLIAM is in good shape. He was a winner when last on the grass and can win again.
(8) COURAGEOUS is rarely too far behind and can get involved with the finish again.
(5) TWILIGHT BAY made all to be a very easy winner last time and could have more to offer.
(6) CHEERFUL CHARLIE B only tired last time and his yard is in good form, so he might earn some money.
Race 5 (1,200m)
A very competitive sprint and it might pay to go very wide.
(2) DUBAI HILLS has been good on the Polytrack of late and has also won on the turf.
(3) FOREST SPY has been consistent all of this year, so would not be a surprise winner.
(1) PAS DE NOM is worth a place bet.
(4) KING'S RANSOM seems better than his last runs.
Race 6 (1,400m)
A very competitive Champion Juvenile Cup.
(2) KING PRAWN quickened nicely late last time. He does have stable jockey Richard Fourie in the irons and that suggests he may be the strongest Alan Greeff-trained entrant for this race.
(3) READY is decent and continues to improve, so could make all.
(5) BAROLO seems a lot better than her last run and could be the surprise package.
(9) STAR OF ELENA has hinted she has ability and is worth considering.
Race 7 (1,200m)
A very competitive looking race.
(5) HAPPY HOLLY has been a bitter disappointment of late but it could be worth ignoring her last run on a soft track.
(7) SWEETIE DARLING has won her last two starts and there have been winners out of both those races.
(3) GIMME'S LASSIE is track-and-distance suited, so should fight out the finish.
Stable companion (4) ELLORIX has been consistent and is clearly not out of it.
Race 8 (1,200m)
(9) WINTER WARFARE did not show his form in a feature race last time and could be better than rated.
(7) SILVERY SURFER showed some improvement and could also go one better.
(5) NEW MEXICO and (6) VEGAS HI RISE all make their local debuts and would not be surprise winners.
