Chasing Happiness for the third time in a row

Oct 24 South Africa (Vaal) form analysis

- 

RACE 1 (1,400M) (1) CAT O'CLOCK would not be winning out of turn. The return to this extended trip should suit.

(4) JILTED has shown enough to play a leading role and could redeem herself after a recent mishap. Newcomer (9) MISCHIEF MANAGED is out of a Grade 1-winning mare and an accomplished work rider is aboard. So her chances should not be underestimated.

(11) SWEET SOPHIA acquitted herself well on debut and will have more to offer with that experience under her belt.

RACE 2 (1,500M) (1) MIA MOO took advantage of favourable conditions to make a winning comeback in a similar race over 1,200m. She is weighted to follow up on these terms, especially with Craig Zackey staying on.

She gets the nod ahead of stable-mate (4) WORLD OF ALICE who can improve as a 3yo after a promising 2yo campaign which culminated in a fourth-placed finish in a Grade 1 (1,600m) for 2yos. Consistent (3) HAPPY MO has the form and experience to challenge those Sean Tarry runners.

(5) FREE IN SEATTLE completes the shortlist.
