(8) ROCKANROLLIN made a pleasing debut up the straight at Kenilworth on May 21. Watch for sharp improvement, he can certainly win a race like this.
(11) BLACK EAGLE made massive improvement from his first run. He ran a lovely third behind his stable companion last time. Include him in all bets.
(12) DAY IN DAY OUT ran a much better race behind Spirit on June 12. He now steps up in trip again to 1,200m. He can finish among the placings.
(3) MARCUS AURELIUS ran a terrific race on debut. He should make the necessary improvement and earn some money for connections.
Race 2 (1,200m)

(1) PRECOCIOUS was beaten just over three lengths by Take It As Red last at first 1,400m test. She is much better than that run. Can bounce back now that she drops back in trip.
(10) QUEEN REGENT was beaten just under two lengths in third by Clair De Lune at Kenilworth on June 12. Good winning chance.

July 10 South Africa (Kenilworth/Turffontein) form guide
Race 1 (1,200m) (8) ROCKANROLLIN was green but made a pleasing debut up the straight at Kenilworth on May 21. Watch for sharp improvement, he can certainly win a race like this. (11) BLACK EAGLE made massive improvement from his first run into his second run. He is clearly getting better and better with racing. (12) DAY IN DAY OUT ran a much better race behind Spirit on June 12. Step-up in trip to 1,200m suits. (3) MARCUS AURELIUS was unfancied on debut, but ran a terrific race. He should make the necessary improvement. Race 2 (1,200m) (3) JAPANESE GARDEN has been costly to follow but is worth another chance over this shorter distance. Watch the betting on well-bred debutant (5) KENSAL GREEN. (1) DONDOYAKI caught the eye when staying on for second at long odds over 1,000m. She would have come on since and should have more to offer over this extended trip. (9) TAKEMETOTHEMOON and South American import (7) SARAGOSSA CAT have claims on debut. Race 3 (1,200m) (4) WISH LIST ran third behind Paralegal on June 12. If she has improved back at home, she will be very difficult to beat. (1) PRECOCIOUS was beaten just over three lengths by Take It As Red at her first start over 1,400m. Much better than that run. Drop in trip suits. (10) QUEEN REGENT ran a much better race at Kenilworth on June 12, when third to Clair De Lune. If she can build on that run, she will have a good winning chance. (7) PLAYFUL JOULES has been rested for 65 days. On her best form, she could steal a place again with jockey Muzi Yeni up. Race 4 (1,200m) (6) UMZINGELI WENYATHI has placed in both starts over 1,000m. Will relish extra 200m. Among the newcomers, watch the betting on the well-bred (5) ROMILLY. (8) BLUSHING BLOOM could play a role if confirming that progress. Recently gelded (2) CAPTAIN FRANK had excuses on debut. Can give a better account. Race 5 (1,100m) (4) MEU CAPITANO has been rested for 114 days. His form of late over ground has been very good. The 1,100m trip is absolutely no concern at all. (5) KAIBOY ran second to Arctic Wizard at Kenilworth on June 12. He will certainly be right there at the finish on his best form. (2) GEM KING can mix it up with some of the best sprinters in the land on his day. Watch him closely at a decent price, he will run a cracker. (1) DEAN STREET won really well at a big price on June 21. Life will be tougher with a six-point penalty, but his chances must be respected. Race 6 (1,000m) Consistent (1) EMPRESS WU deserves a reward for her efforts and would not be winning out of turn after three consecutive seconds. Improving youngsters (5) MIDNIGHT MIRACLE and (8) WINTER BELLE have scope for further progress, and they will likely challenge for top honours. (6) RED HOT KISSES appeals most of the remainder. Race 7 (1,700m) (5) RED STATE has run some fair races of late in competitive open maidens. She should love the step-up in trip. Include her in all bets. (8) RARE EARTH ran a much better race behind Ocotillo on June 12. She now steps up in trip to 1,700m, watch for further improvement. (6) LUCKY THIRTEEN has been well tried in the maiden ranks. This is not the strongest race on paper. (7) NOT WANTED has taken a bit of time to mature. He is still learning to race but can be right there in the money. Race 8 (1,000m) (1) BUMPS LAST GRIND was runner-up in three of his four starts. Need not improve much to open his account. (2) INSPECTOR JAMES, (3) JET QUERARI and (4) RINGHO all have the form and experience to trouble the selection. Race 9 (1,400m) (9) FOLLOW YOUR HEART won well on May 21. He will love the step-up in trip. If he can beat the draw, he will be hard to beat. (7) FIRINGONALLENGINES won a gutsy race up the straight over 1,200m on June 12. He will keep fighting all the way to the line. (10) IN A TIMELY MANNER quickened up to win his debut like a very smart horse. He will love the step-up in trip to 1,400m. (11) MELA STRENGTH unfortunately draws poorly again, but on his best form and with some luck in running, he will be doing some good work late. Race 10 (1,600m) (8) SINGLETON SAM did not go unnoticed on debut against winners. He will have more to offer. (1) GREENLIGHT RACER ran third recently over slightly shorter distances. Will be competitive over this extended trip. (5) NKWENKWEZI is the only filly in the race but she would not be winning out of turn after consecutive close-up seconds. (2) PARABELLUM ran third last start over shorter. He will love the longer trip. Race 11 (1,400m) (1) GOLDEN ANGEL ran a fair race behind Strawberry Thief on May 21. She has dropped in the ratings, and in trip, and gets a good draw. (11) LA DIVINA won a super race on May 13. If she can beat the draw without doing work early, she will have a good winning chance again. (9) SUPREME FATE finished like a train behind Swiatek last time. She is still improving with racing and will be right there in the finish. (10) ONI SAN has run some decent races of late, especially her last run behind Swiatek on June 1. Can finish in the money. Race 12 (1,600m) (14) WITCHING HOUR ran fourth to an unbeaten filly aimed at a Grade 1 later this month. Her experience over this distance will stand her in good stead. (13) STAMPEDE AHEAD ran third on debut over 1,400m. Will relish the extra 200m. Debutant (12) SPECIAL STAR is attractively bred and any market support must be respected. Youngster (9) MERRYWEATHER is likely to improve for the step-up to this distance. Race 13 (1,100m) (4) LOVERS LANE ran a cracker behind Firingonallengines last time. This seems to be a nice race for him, if he can bring that last run to the track again. (10) GRAVITY has run two great races in succession, despite being slow into stride early. Good each-way chance in this race. (7) CHAMPAGNE MAC finished five lengths behind his stable companion on May 21. He tries hard at this level. (5) TAMBOURINE MAN has been rested for 83 days. If he does not need the run badly, he could easily win a race like this. Race 14 (1,200m) (4) NIGHT BOMBER is versatile and likely to acquit himself competitively once more. (5) PASSAGE OF POWER had legitimate excuses for disappointing recent performances. Can atone. (3) LEAD THE CHARGE is consistent and warrants respect. (2) YAMADORI is more than capable of bouncing back. Race 15 (1,000m) (6) PEACE OF MIND went down narrowly behind Pink Pigeon last time. She is very fast and really enjoys the 1,000m trip. Hard to beat. (3) THE CHARLESTON ran third in the same race won by Pink Pigeon on June 12. With the claim of 1.5kg, she must have a good winning chance. (7) INSIDE VOICE won her maiden well on May 25. She will still need to improve further to win again. She must be respected. (9) LHASA ran a lovely second behind Champagne Kisses last time. If she can reproduce that run, she can finish in the money.

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 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.

(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.

(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.

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.

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.
