June 19 South Africa (Vaal) form analysis
-
RACE 1 (1,600M) (1) PHIL THE FLUTER has been costly to follow but will not find a better chance to get off the mark.
(6) BATTLE OF THE BULGE can make his presence felt if building on a career-best effort last time.
(5) BLUE QUARTZ should not be a maiden for much longer.
(2) MYSTIC VISION is better than his recent form and remains capable of taking home a cheque.
RACE 2 (2,400M) (6) RAINY SEASON races well from handy positions and is in good form over this distance.
(3) NUCLEAR FORCE won a similar contest over this trip last time but is worse off at the weights with Rainy Season.
Hat-trick seeking (5) CARTAGE-NA stretches out to 2,400m for the first time but there is no reason why she cannot see it out.
(2) FLAG BEARER is an on-pace type who loves this trip.
RACE 3 (1,200M) (1) HOTARU filled the runner-up berth last time and has scope for further progress.
