June 24 South Africa (Kenilworth) form analysis

RACE 1 (1,200M) (8) BEAUTIFUL ONE was a touch disappointing behind She's My World on May 4. The step-up to 1,200m will definitely help her. Big winning chance in this field.

(1) VIVA LA VIDA stayed on beautifully for second behind Lowveld Lily on debut. Keep safe.

(3) MARKETA ran a lovely race behind Spirit on June 12. She tries really hard; she must have a good place chance again.

(7) BEACH VERSE is very well bred, but will need to improve dramatically to win this race.

RACE 2 (1,200M) (4) DU MAURIER has run two very good seconds in succession. She will be very hard to beat.

(2) MEGHAN'S DIAMOND ran a fair race on debut behind Inside Voice. She will improve with every run. She should run a place.

(10) MY DEAR FRIEND has run two lovely races. If she can build again on her last run behind Lowveld Lily, she could run a place.

(7) CLOUDS CLEARING was green when seven lengths behind She's My World on debut. Watch for big improvement from this filly.

RACE 3 (1,800M) (4) PINOT GRIGIO ran a terrific race behind Ahead Of The Facts on June 1. Drops in trip to 1,800m for this Middle Stakes. From a good draw, he should run a cracker.

(5) SONG TO THE MOON got going only when the race was over last time. He will be just off the speed and will run on strongly late.
