June 12 South Africa (Kenilworth) form analysis
Race 1 (1,000m)
(2) MARKETA ran a lovely race behind Inside Voice at Kenilworth on May 25. This does not look to be the strongest maiden juvenile plate. Good winning chance.
(4) SPIRIT was gelded on April 29. He ran some fair races behind nice horses. Include him in all bets.
(3) DAY IN DAY OUT was gelded on April 22. He was very disappointing last time behind Green Planet. Can bounce back.
(9) THE ROARING ROCK ran a decent race behind Churchillian on May 6. Watch him closely.
Race 2 (1,200m)
(4) MATCH THAT ran an absolute cracker in the Grade 3 Winter Nursery. On her best form, she will be very hard to beat.
(2) PARALEGAL ran just under five lengths behind She's My World at Kenilworth on May 4. Brevan Plaatjies takes off 2.5kg. Good place chance.
(3) SPORTS FAN won a good race in PE on May 9. If she can build on that last run, and she travels well from PE to Cape Town, she could certainly earn some money.
(9) PANJANDRUM is capable of earning money.
Race 3 (1,200m)
(11) FUTURE FREE finished like a train on debut to run third behind Rhydian. With further improvement back at home, he will take some beating.
(10) PALANCAR ran second in the same race as Future Free on May 13. On his last run, he will have a good each-way chance.
(16) AFRICAN MEMOIR ran fourth behind the talented Three Tigers, beaten just over three lengths. Watch him closely.
(13) KANAAL SKATER disappointed terribly in his last start behind Follow Your Heart. He is much better than that.
Race 4 (1,200m)
(2) CLAIR DE LUNE made up good ground late behind Rikkitikkitavi on May 4. Gavin Lerena has been booked to ride. Good chance.
(15) RED TAFFETY made headway from her first start into her second start. Each-way chance.
(3) HERITAGE RIDGE was badly inconvenienced from the 200m mark last start. With a clear passage, she can certainly finish in the money.
(8) MISS WILLIAM was very disappointing in her last start over 1,400m. She is much better than that. Drop in trip to 1,200m suits.
Race 5 (1,500m)
(2) BEACH QUEEN was very disappointing in her last start. Muzi Yeni gets the ride back. From a good draw, she will go very close.
(1) OCOTILLO ran a great race behind Supreme Fate on May 6. No excuses from a good draw.
(4) LADY VERITAS ran a fair race on debut behind Take It As Red. There is no doubt she will improve from that run.
(9) KISSES showed massive improvement in her last start, when tested over some ground. If she can build on that, she could sneak into the places.
Race 6 (1,800m)
(4) STRAWBERRY THIEF quickened up like a smart filly at Kenilworth on May 27. She looks extremely progressive, and will take a lot of beating again.
(3) LICKETY SPLIT should be cherry-ripe for this Class 4 event. She gets a nice pull in the weights with last-start victor Strawberry Thief. Go close.
(6) LAVENDER BAY always tries hard, her form is rock solid. Good each-way chance again.
(5) TAP SHOES finished just under three lengths behind the winner last time. On her best form, she could sneak into the places.
Race 7 (1,600m)
(3) SUGAR MOUNTAIN won super impressively on May 6. Classy, he will take a lot of beating again.
(5) MAGIC VERSE ran a terrific race in the Listed Pocket Power Stakes on May 25. If he can bring that form to the races again, he will be right there in the finish.
(8) SEEKING THE STARS gets blinkers on and he steps up in trip to 1,600m. If he stays the trip, he can finish among the places.
(4) MUCHO DINERO never raised a gallop in his last start. He can bounce back. Watch him closely.
Race 8 (1,200m)
(9) DANCE VARIETY needed his last run in the Grade 3 Champagne Stakes. If he has made the necessary improvement back at home, he will take a lot of beating.
(5) KAIBOY never runs a bad race. He is packed with ability, and Andrew Fortune now gets the ride. He will be flying at them late.
(4) ARCTIC WIZARD is a lovely horse with a magnificent action. Yeni knows him well. With no weight on the back, he must be respected.
(10) DUMBLEDORE won a gutsy race last time. He can certainly run a place on his best form.
Race 9 (1,200m)
(6) SUN DAZED had absolutely no luck in running on April 16. If he gets some luck in running, he will be hard to beat.
(3) LOVERS LANE needed the run slightly from a small break last time. If he can build on that performance, he could certainly trouble them all in the finish.
(1) MONT LOISIR drops back in trip to 1,200m. He must be respected, Fourie knows him well.
(9) GRAVITY made up a lot of ground to win a good race on May 4. Plaatjies takes off 2.5kg, which certainly helps.
Race 10 (1,000m)
(7) PINK PIGEON ran a cracking second behind Babelicious on May 21. Should be cherry ripe for this race. On her best form, she will take a lot of beating.
(5) PEACE OF MIND did not get to the front last time, and had some traffic problems up the lane. If she can lead, she will be hard to fetch.
(8) GOLDEN TATJANA's form of late is much better. She could finish in the money at a decent price.
(2) THE CHARLESTON is much better than her recent form. Resuming. She can sneak in for a place.
