Jan 5 South Africa (Scottsville) form analysis

RACE 1 (1,200M) (1)

ONE ARMED BANDIT ran well below expectations when sent over 1,800m last time. Back to the sprint, he is the one to beat in a modest line-up.

(4) FINE DINING has found some market support in both starts. He could pop up.

The well-bred first-timer (9) LIFE ON THE TIDES stands out, but (8) LIMELIGHT LEGEND is also a blueblood. Both should be closely monitored in the betting.

RACE 2 (1,200M)

(1) REAL WAR should run a big race with blinkers on.

(3) TOP SEED put in a fair showing on debut. He could need the outing.

(9) EMOYENI was a distant second on debut. He should come on with the experience.

(2) TICKALOX is not always reliable but has shown flashes of good form.

RACE 3 (1,600M)

(4) FATE DECREED scored with authority in her maiden win from the widest draw and can follow up.

(5) PINK DIAMOND has been up against some fairly useful company of late. She can add to her winning tally in this line-up.
