March 1 South Africa (Turffontein) form analysis
-
(1) ELEGANTRIX sped to victory on debut over 1,160m. Would have come on, and this shorter trip should be right up her alley.
(2) GLASTONBURY confirmed her debut success with a good second over track and trip after a break. She will strip fitter.
Watch the betting on newcomer (5) GREEN DIAMOND.
(6) PRINCESS KEIRA (heavily backed on debut) ought to improve with experience.
(1) READ ALL ABOUT IT impressed when winning on debut and displayed a smart turn of foot to beat the re-opposing (2) BINGO (3kg better off). It could pay to side with the former with the benefit of that experience. The betting will provide clues to the newcomers.
(4) CONSTELLATION and fillies (with a 2.5kg sex allowance) (5) ONE FINE WINTER and (7) TINA LOVELACE appeal most of the first-timers.
(3) HOTARUBI and (1) GIMMEANOTHERCHANCE are both weighted to be competitive. The distance is at the bottom end of Hotarubi's range, and Gimmeanotherchance is back from a break after two ordinary runs.
