June 8 South Africa (Turffontein) form analysis
Race 1 (1,000m) (5) TRAJANUS finishing second on his KZN debut. He would have benefited from that experience and, with any improvement, should open his account. Debutante (7) BRIGITTE ANNE is respected, especially in receipt of a 2.5kg sex allowance. (4) SIMBINE has shown enough to pose a threat to the selection. (8) GIMMEFORSURE is worth watching. Race 2 (1,000m) (1) FIERY ROSE ran second on debut over 1,160m and showed enough pace on that occasion to suggest that she would be equally effective over this shorter trip. Watch the betting on newcomer (5) ON THE RUN. (6) QUEEN'S PACT has greater experience and remains open to improvement. (7) RHUM DE VIE and (8) WAR TALK could show up on debut. Race 3 (1,400m) (2) WHITE PEARL ran on from a long way back to finish a close-up fourth in a similar contest over track and trip last time. She is closely matched with (6) RADICCHIO on the form of that race and needs only repeat that run to resume winning ways. (1) TEXAS RED could fare better in this company than he did in a KZN Grade 2 last time. Consistent (7) BUSSTOPINHOUNSLOW has a money chance too. Race 4 (1,160m) (7) EMERALD FORGE has finished second in both course-and-distance appearances. (5) PALACE PRINCE will likely pose the biggest threat on his eye-catching debut third. (8) STONE OF SCONE and experienced (1) OLD FASHIONED complete the shortlist. Race 5 (1,160m) (1) TUSCAN ROMANCE and (8) RENDEVOUS IN RIO are last-start seconds. The former does not win out of turn but the latter has more scope for improvement. Watch the betting on newcomer (10) LEANNE'S LOVE. Youngster (12) SHIMMERING has shown enough to make their presence felt. Race 6 (1,400m) A fascinating 2YO fillies feature. (5) RACHEL WALL, (3) LIMERICK LACE and (1) ALTA CAPITANA are genuine candidates for success after promising debut victories. They are all open to any amount of improvement. Last-start winner (2) BACK FROM WAR and debut scorer (4) MISS NOVAX also have legitimate each-way chances. Race 7 (1,400m) Recently gelded stablemate (5) READ ALL ABOUT IT is 3kg better off with last-start conqueror (6) RED PENNY. Improving last-start winner (1) CHRONICLE KING will probably need further to be seen to best effect but cannot be discounted. Course-and-distance debut winner (8) TAKE NO PRISONERS is open to any amount of improvement with that experience under his belt. Race 8 (1,800m) Last-start Grade 2 winner (5) LET'S GO NOW is weighted to follow up and get the better of her male rivals again. Progressive 3YO geldings (9) IMMEDIATE EDGE and (3) MUSICAL SCORE have a bit to find but are probably better than rated. However, the younger 3YO filly (8) OLIVIA'S WAY is also weighted to be competitive after her recent Grade 2 success. Race 9 (1,600m) (1) CONFEDERATE holds the edge and should be able to confirm his superiority. Improving (3) KAMENSKY is unbeaten over this course and distance, so cannot be taken lightly. Exciting (7) PUMPKIN PIE impressed with a last-to-first victory over track and trip last time. He is probably better than rated. Grade 1 winner (2) LEGEND OF ARTHUR is a familiar foe to Confederate, but may have to settle for a place.
