Nov 9 South Africa (Turffontein/Kenilworth) form guide

(8) COSMIC QUEEN attracted betting support on her good debut. She was in contention to win but stumbled badly. It is possible she would have succeeded but for the stumble, though that is open to debate. She can, however, recoup losses for her followers.

(7) PRETTY PRECIOUS did not show her best last time at Hollywoodbets Durbanville. She should fight out the finish on local debut.

(4) ALESIAN BEAU showed pace on debut. Can do better this time.

(5) FIZZLY BUBBLY is making her debut and deserves some respect if the money comes for her.

(4) ZEITZ ran on from a long way back when a beaten favourite over this distance last time. He can redeem himself in first-time blinkers that should sharpen him up and make him race handier.

(5) BOMBERS IN THE SKY has improved in two starts over this trip and is closely matched on that form, so he should be competitive.

(3) EXPRESS YOURSELF improved over 1,400m. Can make her presence felt with further progress expected over this extended trip.

(10) RED DAWN has the form and experience to get involved.

(8) PIONEER SQUARE ran well in both starts and should like this longer distance. Gets the nod.

(2) ONE MORE STAR was ahead of rival Pioneer Square when they first met but was behind him last time. He should be right there at the finish yet again.

(7) OBSIDIAN could be looking for this distance and is not out of it.

(9) THE ULTIMATE KING makes his debut, but his trainer knows what is needed to win a race like this first time.

(2) STATE CAPITOL has acquitted herself well in two post-maiden outings and is likely to play a leading role off an unchanged mark. Hard-knockers (7) HANG OUT THE STARS, (10) OZARK and (12) DREAM SEARCHER have shown enough recently to have a say in the outcome.

(3) GLAMOROUS LADY has been runner-up in her last three starts. Hopefully she can go one better trying the longer straight.
