Oct 25 South Africa (Fairview) form analysis

(1) GIMMETHELIMELIGHT has been a bit of a disappointment of late but could win on local debut after a change of trainer.

(10) NOODSBERG has not shown much in two starts but makes the trip from the Western Cape and deserves respect for that.

(8) FIRE ALARM showed improvement last time on the turf and can fight out the finish again.

(9) GENTEEL showed vast improvement on local debut and can go one better this time around.

(1) OFFICIAL SECRET has improved since joining trainer Alan Greeff and has won a couple of times over this course and distance. She was touched off last time and can go one better.

(3) WOMAN'S WORLD won full of running earlier in October. Will not go down without a fight.

(4) GIDEON'S DAUGHTER has improved this year but is facing some tough rivals this time.

(2) MEDLERS TART can be a dangerous customer if allowed to dictate terms.

(2) HAPPY HOLLY is very game and speedy and should fight out the finish yet again.

(3) BLUE HOLLY chased home Cruise Control earlier this season and should make a bold bid.
