June 24 South Africa (Kenilworth) form analysis
Race 1 (1,200m) (8) BEAUTIFUL ONE was a touch disappointing behind She's My World on May 4. The step-up to 1,200m will definitely help her. Big winning chance in this field. (1) VIVA LA VIDA stayed on beautifully for second behind Lowveld Lily on debut. Keep safe. (3) MARKETA ran a lovely race behind Spirit on June 12. She tries really hard, she must have a good place chance again. (7) BEACH VERSE is very well bred, but will need to improve dramatically to win this race. Race 2 (1,200m) (4) DU MAURIER has run two very good seconds in succession. She will be very hard to beat. (2) MEGHAN'S DIAMOND ran a fair race on debut behind Inside Voice. She will improve with every run. She should run a place. (10) MY DEAR FRIEND has run two lovely races. If she can build again on her last run behind Lowveld Lily, she could run a place. (7) CLOUDS CLEARING was green when seven lengths behind She's My World on debut. Watch for big improvement from this filly. Race 3 (1,800m) (4) PINOT GRIGIO ran a terrific race behind Ahead Of The Facts on June 1. Drops in trip to 1,800m for this Middle Stakes. From a good draw, he should run a cracker. (5) SONG TO THE MOON got going only when the race was over last time. He will be just off the speed and will run on strongly late. (8) DUBBELOSIX ran a great third behind Ahead Of The Facts last time. He is progressive and must be included into all bets. (7) CONGRESSMAN can never be left out at this level. He ran a great race behind Chasingtherainbow on June 1. He should go very close. Race 4 (1,800m) (5) SESAME must have a good winning chance in this Open Maiden. She ran well behind Beneath The Clouds at Kenilworth on May 21. She has jockey Gavin Lerena up. Ready to exit the maiden ranks. (2) SIGNOR DANTE is much better than his last run behind Afrique. The step-up in trip should help him tremendously. From a good draw, he should bounce back to his best form. (1) MONEY EXTRACTOR finally gets a good draw. Her last two runs have been fair. She is drawn to get the perfect run, include her in all bets at a decent price. (6) REAL STUNNER stayed on well for second behind Ariovistus on June 1. He is knocking on the door for that first victory, and must be respected in this tricky race. Race 5 (1,600m) (11) BETTER MAN comes back to the races from a small break and gelding. He stayed on for third behind Randolph Hearst on April 21. If he can overcome the draw, he will be very hard to beat. (5) SMART HORSE has been rested and gelded. He ran a good race behind Gold Dust on April 14. He should love this trip. (9) CAPTAINS ALLIANCE has been rested for 64 days. He caught the eye late in a strong field last time. He will be storming home late.(2) SET TO MUSIC must have a good place chance in this field. He ran a great race behind Afrique on May 25. He can sneak into the minors from a good draw. Race 6 (1,600m) (4) AFRIQUE won a super race at Kenilworth on May 25. He looks progressive and he gets a good draw, watch him closely. (13) THOMAS JENKINS won a gutsy race from a poor draw on May 25. Again he draws badly, but he will be running on strongly late. (2) ARBITRATION needs to be respected in this race from a good draw. He can be a tricky ride, but his form is good. (9) SHOW OFF is much better than his recent run behind Sansa Stark. Drop in trip may help. Race 7 (1,400m) (2) PLEASE BE TRUE had absolutely no luck in running again last time. Jockey Lerena gets the ride from a good draw. (1) WAR CHARIOT must have a serious each-way chance from a good draw. Blinkers come off, and the apprentice takes off 2.5kg. (5) MAURITIUS KESTREL has dropped in the ratings. He is much better over this trip of 1,400m. He will come with a strong finish. (6) DAWN TILL DUSK finished like a train behind Air Raid on May 25. He will be hitting the line hard. Race 8 (1,400m) (1) SWEET CONIFER won a gutsy race to exit the maiden ranks last time. From a good draw, she will be given every chance to double the score with jockey Richard Fourie. (2) ROYAL LYTHAM never runs a bad race. She steps up in trip to 1,400m, and she gets a good draw. (7) FLY TO RIO disappointed terribly last time. She is much better than that performance. If she can put that run behind her, she could finish among the places. (6) ANGEL'S OASIS ran a fair race up the straight at Kenilworth on June 1. She steps up in trip to 1,400m, which may unlock further improvement.
