June 15 S.A. (Turffontein) form analysis
Race 1 (1,160m) (5) ANCHORAGE would not be winning out of turn having finished second in both starts. Last-start winners (1) FAIR PROPOSAL, (3) VERSACE ONTHETRACK and (2) LET'S GO LOLA all benefited from a first outing and should remain competitive. Race 2 (1,160m) (2) JAN VAN GOYEN scored an impressive win on debut. It may pay to follow his progress. (1) GOT THE FEELING scored at 66-1 on debut and has should improve for it. (5) SHADOWFOX ran an eye-catching second on debut over track and trip, so could pose a threat. Newcomer (7) TRUST is also respected. Race 3 (1,400m) (1) JOHNNY DRAMA and (2) CHIEFTAIN'S SHIELD have the form and experience to play leading roles. But they are vulnerable to less-exposed younger rival (10) RADIO STAR, who was only touched off on debut over track and trip and need not improve much with that experience to count on. (7) SILVER LONGSWORD and (6) GREENLIGHT RACER complete the shortlist. Race 4 (1,400m) (12) JAPANESE GARDEN and (11) DAISY JONES (drawn wide) have more scope to improve, so could dominate the outcome. (1) GREEN STREET will likely play the leading role in a race that will not take much to win. (10) BLOOD OF EDEN appeals most of the remainder. Race 5 (2,000m) (9) INTO DANCING ran on for third over 1,600m last time, and the 2,000m will suit better. (1) LAVA LAMP and (2) MATTIAZO finished second in their most recent outings over 1,600m and will not need to improve much over this extended trip to fight out the finish. (8) HOPSCOTCH also filled the runner-up berth last time over 1,450m and will likely be competitive if confirming that progress over this distance. Race 6 (2,000m) (2) MIZZEN SWORD will improve over this distance which is, on paper, within his compass. (1) SANTIAGO'S PRIDE finished 2½ lengths ahead of (3) HEROIC ACT over 1,800m in May. They should finish in the same order. (9) ENFLAME has scope to improve over this extended trip, so could make his presence felt. Race 7 (1,160m) (2) GUY GIBSON was a fast-finishing second over slightly further in KZN recently. Last-start winner (4) BOB'S YOUR UNCLE remains competitive despite his penalty. (5) NIGHT BOMBER and (6) PASSAGE OF POWER, on his reappearance after a gelding operation, have the means to acquit themselves competitively. Race 8 (1,600m) (9) CLAW won a similar contest, albeit at a slightly lower level, over track and trip last month. Watch this progressive 3YO. Consistent (10) PRESSONREGARDLESS, improving (6) ARTIST'S MODEL have the means to make their presence felt. (3) ZUZAN has excuses for disappointing last starts but remains competitive at this level off his current mark. Race 9 (1,600m) Last-start winner (8) ACCEPT COOKIES scored after a break from a wide draw last month and is good value to follow up. (2) PALACE DANCER lines up with another winning chance. She is 1kg better off with last-start conqueror (6) MOUNTAIN HIGH and can turn the tables, even at first mile test. (3) TOO LATE MY MATE is not underestimated off a reduced mark.
