July 20 South Africa (Scottsville) form analysis
Race 1 (1,200m)
(7) BLACK FROST was not far back on his Poly debut but has run well on this course. Rachel Venniker is back from injury with her 1.5kg allowance.
(9) BOURBON'S BEAST started at long odds in both starts but was much improved last time and the stable is in form.
(8) MOHAVE PRINCE was a modest fourth on debut but experience should bring him on.
(10) GREEN GATEWAY is a regally bred debutant and one to watch in the betting.
Race 2 (1,000m)
(1) CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT has shown promise in two runs, and was not far back in a strong maiden last time. With a 4kg claimer up, she should be competitive.
(6) MISS KANSAS made a smart debut over course and distance but ran well below form at her last start. Big chance on her debut effort.
(5) DREAM DECISION raced green on debut on this course and should come on with the run.
(8) QUEEN FENN is consistent and can feature in this line-up.
Race 3 (1,400m)
(5) CATCH A PENNY has not been out of the money in nine starts and has gone close over this distance. She takes on males but should be thereabouts again.
(8) NEXT OF KIN was a beaten favourite in just his second start. He has shown up well in both outings and this trip should suit.
(6) DIGITAL ASSET was staying on gamely behind the highly rated Bruh last time. He has improved with each outing.
(4) CARNIVAL PARK is another who has been improving all the while and the stable is in form.
Race 4 (1,400m)
(1) FLYING SOUTH was narrowly beaten last start. She steps up in trip but has the best of the draws in what appears to be a modest line-up.
(6) MISS TWINKLE raced greenly on debut but did find some market support. She is sure to come on with the outing.
(10) SKIPPER O'MALLEY has shown some ability and has a fair money chance.
(12) SNEEUWITJIE gets first-time blinkers and a light weight. She can surprise.
Race 5 (2,400m)
(9) LADY MY LADY is a lightly raced four-year-old who goes the trip for the first time. However, she has only 49kg to shoulder and was not far back at her last two.
(3) ESCAPOLOGIST loves this course and distance and goes well for Cole Dicken. A repeat of her last effort will see her close again.
(6) OUR LADY FATE steps up in trip but has had two promising warm-ups leading into the race. She should stay the trip and is one to follow in the market.
(4) SHINY BOB won well last time. Gets 4kg claim.
Race 6 (1,000m)
(7) ICY ELEANOR disappointed first-up on the Poly but has done well over course and distance.
(5) VISION TO ACHIEVE is in cracking form over course and distance but found Hot Pearl in a galloping mood last time.
(1) HAPPY ANALIA gets first-time blinkers. Her last win was over course and distance.
(6) HURRICANE CAT was much improved when winning first-up with a tongue-tie. She is quick and has a chance again.
Race 7 (1,400m)
(3) THESUPERNOVASTAR was much improved with blinkers off. A repeat effort over course and distance will see him in the mix.
(4) BEACH PALACE was two lengths back to Thesupernovastar when they last met, but Callan Murray takes over the apprentice.
(7) SAIL TO THE MOON had his first outing for Yogas Govender in the same race, after arriving from the Western Cape where the form stacks up well in KZN.
(6) ATTABOY with Gavin Lerena replacing an apprentice should show big improvements.
Race 8 (1,400m)
Mike Miller has three chances but on jockey bookings, (4) ETHEREAL VIEW is the stable elect. Wide on Poly last start but has good form over the trip.
(5) RADU is holding form well and is back over what looks to be her optimum trip.
(11) PROM QUEEN is drawn wide but has come on well of late. With some luck in running, should contest the finish.
(10) SKYTRIX also has a wide draw but has a 4kg claimer aboard. Not the worst.
