Gold Medallion a great fit for Green Diamond

May 31 South Africa (Scottsville) form analysis

- 

RACE 1 (1,100M) Mostly first-timers but of those who have run, (6) THAT'LL BE THE DAY was well supported on debut but that was on the Poly and she finished down the field. She can make the required improvement on turf.

Visiting (9) LET'S GO LOLA started at long odds on debut but was narrowly beaten into third. She should come on from that effort.

(8) WORLD OF ROYALTY found some market support on debut and finished a respectable third. She too should benefit from having a run.

(7) MFETHU is a well-bred first-timer and may be worth following in the market.

RACE 2 (1,600M) (12) ALEX MILLER has been costly to follow for her supporters, a beaten favourite at her last two. She has drawn wide but gets first-time blinkers.

(3) PROMISE OF FIRE was run out of it late with first-time blinkers. She has shown steady improvement and has a good draw. The extra furlong should also suit.

(5) TERMINAL VELOCITY is way better than her last run from a wide draw. She may also have needed the outing and is sure to improve.

(2) FINE WINE is a late starter but has shown up well in her two outings to date. From a handy draw, she is one to keep an eye on in the betting.

RACE 3 (1,600M) (5) ONE SMART COOKIE has come well of late and tries for a winning hat-trick. She steps up to a mile from a decent draw and only got a two-point raise in the handicap for her last win.

(2) PRINCESS ILARIA is in good form on the Highveld. She stays the trip well and from a handy draw should be right there.

(10) FAIZAH is always game and her last win was over course and distance.
