Mocha Blend is brewing for her maiden win

Dec 8 South Africa (Scottsville) form analysis

- 

(5) BELL OF ANGELUS with Tristan Godden aboard would appear to be the stable elect but Mathew Thackeray upstaged Godden on Dec 1 and partners (6) CAPTAINS ENVY while (1) WATER HYACINTH has 4kg claimer Jacey Botes aboard.

(4) TREASURE ISLAND is worth a market check.

(3) ROY'S GRACE has been making steady progress and although two lengths behind (5) DRESSEDTOTHENINES last time, she can turn the tables on Dressedtothenines, who should be in the firing line with a 4kg claimer up.

(1) RADIANT HEAT has patchy Highveld form but is capable on her day. A 4kg claim helps, too.

(4) MISS MAYFLY ran well once. Can finish in the money.

This trip should suit (1) MOCHA BLEND, who ran on strongly behind Meritorious, and who could prove too classy.

(3) LA VIDA LOCA has improved slowly in her first three local starts. The step-up in trip will suit.

(8) SANBEENEE and (9) BEL GIOCATORE finished a length apart when last they met. The latter gets first-time blinkers.
