Smart 1,800m record puts King's Express in box seat

Aug 2 South Africa (Turffontein) form analysis

- 

RACE 1 (1,000M) Well-bred (7) ON THE RUN was backed on debut when finishing third over this track and trip. She would have come on with the benefit of that run, so should play a leading role with natural improvement expected.

(6) MASTER'S LADY, (2) MIDNIGHT MIRACLE and (1) DONDOYAKI all have the form and experience to trouble the selection. Watch betting on newcomer (5) KORCULA.

RACE 2 (1,000M) (2) BINGO, (8) BRIGITTE ANNE and (1) SIMBINE are closely matched on the form of their course-and-distance meeting in early June, and there should not be much separating the trio again on identical weight terms.

(6) FIFTY WAYS and (4) WILLOW CHARM have earning potential too.

RACE 3 (1,400M) (6) KENSAL GREEN ran an eye-catching debut third over 1,200m and should have more to offer stretching out to this trip with that experience to count on.

(8) ZAHRA DOMINIA improved to finish a staying-on second over track and trip last time and should play a leading role if making further progress.

(5) HEAVENLY GOOD will have benefited from her introductory outing over 1,160m and on pedigree, this extended trip should be more to her liking.
