Get set for 2nd Royal Victory in Champions Challenge

March 29 South Africa (Turffontein) form analysis

- 

RACE 1 (1,160M) Cases can be made for each of these runners.

Fellow recent scorer (7) ONE FINE WINTER confirmed the promise of her debut second in a feature against male rivals by winning as she liked over a similar trip last time with a tonne in hand. It will pay to follow her progress.

(1) ARASHI and (4) GLASTONBURY have the form and superior experience to challenge for race honours.

Debut winner (2) CLAIRWOOD ROSE has also shown enough to be competitive and remains open to improvement.

RACE 2 (1,160M) First-up scorers (1) CHARMING CHEETAH and (3) KING HARALD could be anything. The former was friendless in the market but defied an alarming market drift to win a Listed race on debut, and both subsequent runners from that race franked the form by winning next time out.

One of those is re-opposing (6) TINA LOVELACE who did not finish a long way adrift on debut and benefited from that experience.

(5) GREEN DIAMOND was a good second on debut and should improve to feature.

RACE 3 (1,100M) (1) QUASIKAT carries a three-point penalty for winning a similar event three weeks ago but that should not prevent another forward showing.

(4) BLIZZARD SNOW is weighted to turn the tables on her last-start conqueror, so is a must for all perms.

(3) DIVINE MOONLIGHT and (12) THERE SHE GOES are also closely matched on that form and also have to be included. The latter was unlucky to encounter traffic problems at a crucial value stage in that race, so could be worth siding with at a big price.
