June 18 South Africa (Greyville) form analysis
Race 1 (1,400m)
(8) PINETTI has finished close-up in both recent sprints. He has drawn widest and steps up in trip but is proven on the Poly.
(5) BRUH showed promising improvement at his second outing over the trip. Andrew Fortune stays with the ride.
(3) REJUVENATE takes on males but has some fair form over ground and is improving slowly.
(4) ZIYAN'S PRIDE has had experience and the step-up in trip should suit.
Race 2 (1,400m)
(1) MS SAKURA showed up well on debut and should much prefer this trip. Has the best of the draws.
(10) NAUTICAL LANDING has the widest draw and has been frustrating to follow. She has finished out of the money just once in a dozen starts and goes well this trip.
(9) ECHO made sudden improvement last run at long odds but seemed to enjoy the extra. She has a chance of a repeat showing.
(2) LATE BLOOMER makes her debut for a strong yard and is one to watch in the betting.
Race 3 (2,000m)
(1) PARLIAMENT SQUARE has mixed his form in seven starts, but could find his feet in this.
(3) LIMELIGHT LEGEND has shown up well in fairly strong maiden company. He has to give weight to most of his rivals.
(7) APACHE AG is lightly raced but nearly upset last run with first-time blinkers. A repeat effort will see him close again.
(8) CALL ME HARRIET has improved at her last two and has a money chance.
Race 4 (1,600m)
(2) ONE PATH has improved with a tongue-tie and goes well on the Poly. This trip from a good draw is a lot in her favour.
(1) PROM QUEEN got a five-point shunt up the handicap for her last win and now meets (9) FIREBURST on 1.5kg worse terms. But she does have the better draw.
(6) PLUM PUDDING looks the pick of the Andre Nel pair, given jockey bookings. Won well in her local debut, can improve further.
(4) GREENHOUSE is possibly held by Prom Queen on their last meeting.
Race 5 (1,600m)
(1) SEQUOIA has his first run for a new stable but comes with strong Fairview form and looks well in at these weights.
(5) IMPERIAL POWER was narrowly beaten over course and distance last run and that form has since been franked.
He meets (7) FEW DOLLARS MORE on the same weight terms as when they last met. Glen Kotzen's runner could turn the tables.
(9) ICY BLAST has shown up well in two outings on the Poly and can feature again.
Race 6 (1,400m)
(5) MAGICAL VIEW has finished close-up in two features behind the useful Green Sapphire and should go close in this contest.
A head split Magical View and (8) SCHOOL POLICY when they last met. She can turn the tables.
(1) GOODNESSGRACIOUSME improved nicely at her second KZN start. She is down in trip but, from a plum draw, she is one for the exotic bets.
(4) TWO G'S was a beaten favourite behind the useful Bevie's Delight last time. She faces a fair field her and is still improving.
Race 7 (1,400m)
(6) BANK STREET has a modest Cape Town record, but has never been far back. First run for Stuart Ferrie and Sean Veale stays aboard.
(7) MAC HARDY is over his best course and distance and is seldom out of the money.
(2) GIMME THE FLAME may be down for the Poly. One to watch.
(10) COPACABANA won well when stepped up in trip and has a chance again.
Race 8 (1,200m)
(1) MR MASTER STARTER beat (3) THISISWHATITMEANS by a length when they last met in February. Thisiswhatitmeans has since won twice on the Poly. Little between them at level weights.
(2) TWENTY ONE MAY makes his Poly debut. Quicker surface could see him home over the extra 200m.
(4) COLD SHINE has his first run for a new stable. Not seen since December but may pay to follow.
Race 9 (1,200m)
(12) LADYBUG has a tricky draw to contend with, but she made a smart return from a break when going down narrowly over her favourite course and distance. If she beats the draw, she will go close.
(2) ETHEREAL VIEW was back to her best last time when a close-up second. From a favourable gate, she can make a repeat showing.
(5) AVERNIAN GODDESS has been a frustrating filly to follow. But she got it all right last run over course and distance.
(8) BUTTERCUP BABY has patchy form but is smart on her day.
