June 4 South Africa (Greyville) form analysis
Race 1 (1,200m)
(2) HOLY STAR made a smart debut at long odds behind Gold Medallion hopeful Little Boy Blue, who runs this Saturday.
(3) INDIGENOUS has been a beaten short-priced favourite in his two local starts. Both were over further and he may prefer this shorter trip.
(6) QUINN'S TIME has been fairly well beaten in both starts but has had experience on the Poly and can improve.
Keep and eye on first-timer (5) DIGITAL ASSET.
Race 2 (1,400m)
(1) OPERA FAN has consistent Highveld form. She was close-up over a mile last time, and this trip from the best of draws could see her home.
(9) ALAKAZAM ran second on debut and this trip should suit. But, she has the widest draw to contend with and Muzi Yeni has jumped ship to ride Opera Fan.
Yeni will be replaced by Andrew Fortune on (4) SPLASH OF LOVE, who ran on well over the distance last time.
(6) TULIP FIELDS is a regally bred first-timer and one to watch in the betting.
Race 3 (1,000m)
(3) PINETTI has improved steadily in her three outings and looks well primed for this. She was narrowly beaten last time and has the in-form Gavin Lerena aboard.
(2) MISS KANSAS made a smart debut but pulled up fatigued at her next start. She can improve.
(6) LARIUS LACUS raced green on debut but should benefit from that.
Debutante (4) THIRD WINTER is one to watch in the market.
Race 4 (1,600m)
(10) CHERRY OH BABY has finished second in her last five starts. She was caught late over 1,400m last time, but has a massive winning chance over the longer trip.
(6) O SPACE O makes his Poly debut and does seem better than his last two with his best recent effort in the soft.
(2) SANBEENEE was narrowly beaten into second over the course and distance last time and should feature again.
(7) TAKEYOURBESTSHOT looked held by Cherry Oh Baby on their last meeting but he does appear to be coming to hand.
Race 5 (2,000m)
(6) RICHARDTHEFEARLESS found good market support last time but lacked finish. He wears blinkers for the first time and can improve.
(1) FUTURE SAINT was a well beaten favourite last start. He has been knocking at the door and this trip should suit.
(7) BALLY MAGIC has improved with cheek pieces and ran second last time on the Poly. Must include in all exotic bets.
(5) KING BAVARIAN looked held by Richardthefearless on their last meeting but he now gets a 4kg claimer aboard.
Race 6 (1,400m)
(3) ONE PATH improved with tongue-tie last time. This will be her third run after a long break and she goes well on the Poly.
(2) MERITORIOUS was rested after a poor run. She has since changed stable and will be at her first outing for Alyson Wright.
(5) SKYTRIX was narrowly beaten last start and appears to have come to hand.
(9) WE WILL ROCK YOU showed signs of a return to form last time. With a 1.5kg claimer aboard, she could be dangerous on her Poly debut.
Race 7 (1,400m)
(1) MY TRUE LOVE and (11) SKY VELOCITY meet again. Sky Velocity romped home in her first start for her new stable and had consistent Fairview form before that. However, My True Love is 2.5kg better off and has the better draw, so she can turn the tables.
(3) MISS PAGET ran third in that same race and, with a 4kg claiming apprentice aboard, she is 5.5kg better off with Sky Velocity.
(2) NOODSBERG finished fifth last time and is 2kg better off with Sky Velocity.
Race 8 (1,000m)
(4) FUTURE FLO has hardly put a foot wrong since his maiden win and coming back to sprints. He is on his best distance and should put in another bold showing.
(8) CONNERY was back to his best when he won last time. He can go in again.
(1) IBHELE can surprise. He has a light weight and the best draw.
(3) JET LEGACY finished fourth in the race won by Connery last time. They meet on the same terms.
