Jan 31 South Africa (Fairview/Greyville) form analysis

RACE 1 (1,000M) (10) WINTER IN PARIS ran third on local debut. Blinkers come on. (7) SWEET CAKE has so-so Poly form but can bounce back on turf. (8) MISS PRIOR is holding form and has a winning chance. (2) AND ACTION will like it back on the turf. Can contest the finish.

RACE 2 (1,400M) (3) FIRE ALARM showed improvement when first put on the turf. Can surprise. (4) GLOBAL SCENE got nailed on the line last start. Keep safe. (5) DE VLUGGE and (6) MEURSAULT can improve at their local debut.

RACE 3 (1,400M) (8) ONO NO KOMACHI is consistent and should make a bold bid on local debut. (3) SILVERY SURFER showed improvement on his second start. Should be right there at the finish.

(4) GRAND OASIS ran well on the Poly last time. Switches to turf. (6) AMERICAN PITBULL needs to improve to win this race.

RACE 4 (1,400M) (6) CATCH YOUR BREATH was slowly away last start. Blinkers helped before. Can bounce back if she jumps on terms. (9) HIGHLYCONFIDENTIAL can mix his form but stable is on fire. (4) VIHAAN'S QUEEN has ability. Threat with change of trainer. (5) MONTELENA can also get involved with the finish.

RACE 5 (1,000M) (12) FULL OF MAGIC can be a threat to these with return to turf. (2) FREE WORLD has been consistent of late and would not be a surprise winner. (4) SMASHING makes local debut. She does have a winning chance. (7) KOMESANS PASSION could be worth considering.
