May 23 South Africa (Fairview) form analysis
Race 1 (1,200m) (1) DANISH DYNAMITE showed signs of inexperience on debut and was beaten by an in-form experienced rival. She should improve and go one better this time. (6) SILVAN MISTRESS appears a difficult ride but is a big danger if things fall into place for her. (2) DARLINGBUDSOFMAY ran in a decent field on debut and can improve and contest the finish this time. (9) ZUMSEE is capable of improvement and could be more competitive this time around. Race 2 (1,200m) (1) WILD APPLAUSE has been a disappointment in that she has yet to win a race but she does look likely to go one better this time for Justin Snaith. (11) STAR OF ELENA has ability. Will be a threat to her elders. (2) CLEVER CANDY has improved at this centre and should contest the finish once again. (3) MIDNIGHT MUSIC showed improvement on local debut. Can do even better this track and trip. Race 3 (1,200m) (9) ELUSIVE BLACK returns from a break and has his first run for trainer Gavin Smith. He has been gelded. If fit and well, he could be better than his rivals. (14) ROYAL KINGDOM has been good so far. Can be in the finish. (1) GREEN OKRA changed trainers. Can be in the finish this time. (2) PYRO EDITION makes his local debut and can make significant improvement. Race 4 (1,200m) (8) SWISS PARADISE quickened nicely to win on local debut. This distance is not really a problem and she can follow up but it is a very open handicap. (4) HUGSANDHIGHFIVES returned to form with a narrow win and is capable of following up. (3) SMASHING and (2) KILMONIVAIG are both in good form and have to be included in all bets. Race 5 (1,000m) (9) SPEED RACER ran well above his rating when chasing home easy and impressive winner Mercantour. He can go one better this time. (1) ANUSCHKA'S WORLD is usually very competitive and should fight out the finish. He does give away chunks of weight to his rivals. (2) EVIES FIRST is unreliable but quite capable of contesting the finish. (3) CLIFF TOP has not won for some time but is always capable of earning some money. Race 6 (1,400m) (3) SILVER FALCON is distance-suited and well drawn. He has not won for a while but can score at any time. (1) MERCANTOUR has improved under the care of trainer Alan Greeff and can follow up on a very easy last win. (6) GOLDEN LINK struggled over further last time but has been at his very best around this distance and is not out of it. (8) DESTINY'S ANGEL needed his last run and could show significant improvement. Race 7 (1,000m) (12) HAPPY HOLLY was a very good juvenile. She has not been as good this year but a return to the turf should bring out the best in her. (7) TRIP TO MAPUTO and (6) KYALAMI GIRL have both made their way from the Western Cape and would not be surprise winners. (5) ELLORIX is also not out of it. Race 8 (1,600m) (6) GOT THE FEVER makes her local debut and could improve. (9) IN THE GREEN ZONE returned to form back on the grass last time and could follow up.

Boxing world champion set to have controversial win OVERTURNED after rare use of video replay
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WORLD champion Emanuel Navarrete is set to have his win over Charly Suarez changed to a no-contest after a rare use of video replay. Mexican Navarrete was defending his WBO super-featherweight title in San Diego when he was cut above his left eyebrow in round six. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Emanuel Navarrete is set to have his win over Charly Suarez changed to a no-contest Credit: Mikey Williams/Top Rank By the eighth, ringside physician Dr. Robert Ruelaz ruled the fight needed to be stopped with Navarrete's vision impaired. Per the rules of boxing, if a cut is caused by a punch and the bout is stopped it results in a TKO. But, if deemed to have been caused by a headbutt then the fight goes to the judges scorecards at the time of the stoppage. In this case, Navarrete led on the cards and was awarded a technical decision - retaining his 130lb title. Video replay was used on the night and official Jack Reiss said there was no conclusive evidence to deem that a punch caused the cut. Footage revealed a swiping left hook landing on Navarrete before the two came together shortly afterwards - making it unclear where the cut was caused. But, in a subsequent review days after the bout, the California State Athletic Commission now look set to overturn the result, BoxingScene report. It marks a rare occasion when a fight is overturned using replays in the days following the bout. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Had the punch been deemed to have caused the cut on the night of the fight it would have crowned Suarez as the new champ. But, if Navarrete's win is indeed overturned to a no-contest then he will still retain the title with a rematch expected to be called. He said after the fight: 'I felt it was a headbutt. I saw the review. It seems like a punch, but it exploded two layers of skin. 'I didn't want it to end. I was fine to keep going. I felt like the best rounds were still to come. But the doctor stopped the fight. 'He would be a great opponent. He is a great opponent. So a rematch would be good.' Suarez added: 'I thought I had a chance to win the fight. I had five more rounds to try to win."
