Jan 21 South Africa (Vaal) form analysis
-
(5) THE MIGHTIEST ran a decent race when beaten under a length in KwaZulu-Natal recently. She can open her account.
(11) HEARTS ON FIRE is still learning what it is all about. She was having only her second start when staying on after racing handily and must improve.
(6) INSTANT ATTRACTION has run a few decent races, just needs to get the timing right.
(4) SHES EVERYTHING was not disgraced in her first run after a rest. Open to good improvement.
(5) KALEESH CYBORG has been misbehaving a tad at the start. He has some decent form and could still put it together over longer.
(9) GIFT OF ROYAL caught the eye last time, gives the impression he would enjoy the extra as well. It could get close between (7) SNOW MOON and (8) BAD MEDICINE - both had things going wrong in their last meeting.
(2) ONLY A POET was unlucky in his last start, being denied by a neck at the end of the marathon. He could finally get his reward in this kind of contest.
