March 4 South Africa (Fairview) form analysis
-
RACE 1 (1,200M) More was expected on debut from (1) ARABIAN BLUE. She showed signs of inexperience, but with improvement, she can see off these rivals.
(4) MIND FREEZE and (5) PRICELESS TREASURE were right there at the finish and it would not be surprising to see them win.
(3) IVY is an Act Of War filly who makes her debut for trainer Gavin Smith and she may be ready to win. (6) SECONDS OUT is an Ideal World filly also making her debut.
RACE 2 (2,200M) (3) ONO NO KOMACHI is holding her form well. She is overdue for a first win and will wear blinkers for the first time.
(5) A MONTH OF SUNDAYS and (6) ACCUMULATE are both consistent on this surface and should contest the finish.
(1) MASTER WIZARD makes his local debut on the Poly and it would not be a surprise should he win.
RACE 3 (1,000M) (3) DUCHESS OF SEVILLE makes her local debut. Trainer Alan Greeff usually does well with types like her and she can score on the surface.
