Dec 7 South Africa (Kenilworth/Turffontein) form analysis

RACE 1 (1,000M) Well-bred (6) CLAIR DE LUNE gets a 2.5kg sex allowance from her male rivals and the booking of Richard Fourie is encouraging.

(4) ORBIT, (3) GOOD FOR YOU and (5) ROCKAROUNDTHECLOCK are attractively bred colts to keep an eye on.

RACE 2 (1,200M) (2) GURKHA and (8) UMFULA caught the eye when running on to finish behind (1) CIRCUMBENDIBUS over track and trip last time. They would have benefited from that experience and could improve to reverse that form.

(10) SECRET PASSAGE completes the shortlist.

RACE 3 (1,200M) Last-start scorers (11) CAPTAIN'S DESTINY and (10) ALL IS GREEN carry penalties for their successes but should remain competitive. Recent maiden winners (4) BERRY'S BOOGIE and (9) OCTOBER FEST have scope to improve and should make their presence felt, too. However, preference is for the well-related latter who has progressed with each outing and should make further improvement after a break.

RACE 4 (1,400M) (6) GARRIX confirmed the promise of his debut second by winning over 1,200m last time. Will appreciate this longer trip. Pays to follow.

(5) CARRIACOU was unlucky (inconvenienced) when finishing third last time. He boasts the form and experience to play a leading role.

(10) RICH FOLKS HOAX has scope to improve and could get into the picture too.

Consistent (16) MASTER OF PARIS is not without a chance either, despite his wide draw.

RACE 5 (1,000M) (1) MISS MARGUERITE beat several of these rivals when winning a recent Listed race over 1,100m.

(4) ASIYE PHAMBILI, (2) SUMMER LILY and (7) NORDIC QUEST are all weighted to reverse that form on these revised weight terms.

RACE 6 (1,600M) Durban July winner (5) ORIENTAL CHARM is 3kg worse off with familiar foe (4) GREEN WITH ENVY on their reappearances. The latter boasts an impressive record racing fresh after a break and is good value to make a winning comeback.
