July 11 South Africa (Fairview) form guide
Race 1 (1,000m) (1) AMERICAN EAGLE showed promise on local debut and can go one better this time. (6) RUBY CLAIRE is knocking hard at the door and should be right there at the finish yet again. (7) WEARINGOFTHEGREEN was a disappointment in Gauteng but, back to sprints, can improve for trainer Alan Greeff. (8) TIME IN PARIS is battling to get out of the maiden ranks but could play a minor role. Race 2 (1,200m) (10) WISHES AND DREAMS was green in both starts on the Poly. She can do a lot better on turf. (8) TANZANITE makes her debut but watch the betting. (1) CALL ME CLARION has made the trip from the Western Cape. Form only fair, but can surprise. (7) MONEY GALORE has run well enough in both her starts and has a winning chance. Race 3 (1,600m) (12) WILD FIG was caught very late last time. He is not well drawn but can win a race like this. (4) LOMU has made the trip from the Western Cape and is likely to improve. (3) HALF MOON ISLAND showed good improvement trying the grass and would not be a surprise winner. (10) ROCK OF FUTURA was not disgraced on debut and could have a lot more to offer. Race 4 (1,600m) (3) INNAMORARE was not beaten far in his recent handicap at Kenilworth and has won at this course. So he gets the vote. (7) LANCIAFIAMME is on the up and can be better than rated. (1) MASTER FORESTER is at his best around this distance and is not out of it. (5) LAGUNA VERDE is not without claims. Race 5 (1,800m) (6) WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN is clearly not weighted to win a race like this but does have ability. (3) GOLDEN PEACE has won two good races of late and can complete a hat-trick. (1) BINGWA is weighted to win this race and is clearly better than his last run would suggest. Race 6 (3,200m) (1) BOURNEMOUTH has impressed in his two recent wins and can take out this race as well. (2) ZATARA MAGIC has beaten that rival over this distance. Should be in the mix again. (3) JUAN CARLOS is very consistent and should have no problem with this longer distance. Race 7 (1,600m) (12) GREENLITEALLTHEWAY impressed with a good win last time. This is a much tougher task but she may well follow up. (6) GIMMETHATPEARL will be a factor if she brings her Western Cape form. (1) TIME FOR LOVE has proven herself at this track and will be a threat again. Race 8 (1,400m) (5) ENCHANTING CHOICE was impressive in her local debut win. This is a tougher task but she may well follow up. (9) WILD APPLAUSE took a long time to get out of the maiden ranks but she does carry just 50kg and could be a threat back on the grass. (3) MONTELENA has been unreliable of late but can contest the finish. Race 9 (1,400m) (11) ELSINORE was not beaten far at Kenilworth last time and this race is not any stronger. (3) IGUGULETHU is in very good form and will not go down without a fight. (1) CHILI BOMB has improved since a change of trainer and could have more wins to come.

Race 1 (1,200m) (4) MAKE BELIEVE was heavily supported to win on debut but could not match an experienced runner. She should be smarter this time and can go one better.

May 16 South Africa (Fairview) form analysis
Race 1 (1,000m) (6) WISHES AND DREAMS could add to the tally of Canford Cliffs newcomers who won on debut for trainer Alan Greeff. Of those with experience (3) JET SET RUN could be the best of them. She shows pace and looks like she will enjoy the Polytrack. (2) IVY shows pace and is suited to the 1,000m but she prefers the turf. (5) PRICELESS TREASURE did not show her best last time and should fight out the finish. Race 2 (1,400m) Race 2 (1,400m) (8) SUPREME JUDGE is clearly improving and should make a bold bid at beating these rivals. (1) ACTION AMERICA has run two fair races on the turf and could be a serious threat on Polytrack. (2) ARLU showed improvement on this surface last time and can contest the finish again. (6) PICK A POMODORO also ran an improved race and could earn some more money. Race 3 (1,200m) (1) RED SASH has been running in good company all year. She is suited to this course and distance and has a decent winning chance. (2) LOVEGRASS is better on the turf but is in good shape and can fight out the finish again. (6) IGNITETHELIGHT likes this surface and would not be a surprise winner. (7) ARTICUNO tackles tougher but is in good form and can get involved with the finish yet again. Race 4 (1,200m) (1) BAIE MOOI found good betting support on debut. She ran out a wide-margin winner and can follow up trying a handicap from a poor draw. (2) BOSNAY ran another creditable race when third on Monday and will be a threat if appearing again. (7) NEMOROSA was a well-backed winner last time and could have more to offer. (4) HER ROYALTY has only been modest in her two runs this year but looks set for an improved performance and has a place chance. Race 5 (1,600m) (10) ARIVIDICIO has not won for some time now but ran well off this handicap mark last time and could be ready to score. (2) FLOWER FESTIVAL has not been beaten far in her recent runs and has a winning chance. (4) GLOBETONIC is in good form and can be very competitive. (5) HAT HOT HAT returned from a break with an easy win and can follow up. Race 6 (1,900m) (1) HEEMSTEDE was heavily backed to win on local debut. He was only narrowly beaten and can go one better this time trying the Polytrack. (10) TWILIGHT BAY has proven form on this surface and should be a lively danger. (11) HAT MONTERA is in good form and can get involved with the finish yet again. (2) HENRY'S HEDGE showed improvement on his local debut and would not be a surprise winner. Race 7 (2,000m) (1) HAARLEM has shown improvement in his new yard but did flop on this surface last time. Stable jockey Richard Fourie has stuck with him, so he might bounce back to score. (2) ROLL OF THE DICE is a dangerous front runner and is course-and-distance suited. (3) RED WILLIAM is in very good form and has an obvious winning chance. (11) SAN QUINTIN is in good form and capable of scoring. Race 8 (1,300m) (7) SHARAPOVA looked an unlcuky loser just last week. She deserves another win and may well get it.
