April 19 South Africa (Turffontein) form analysis

RACE 1 (1,000M) Two runners, (2) FAR BEYOND and (9) QUEEN'S PACT, have shown some potential and both should be in the firing line. The former ran a decent race on soft ground on debut and could be the one to beat even if bred for further. Queen's Pact shows good pace and must be better than her last start when fading out over further. Rafeef debutante (7) MYSTICAL MISS hails from the Sean Tarry yard and is bred to fly, so could attract betting support.

(6) JAZZ PIANIST is another filly by Rafeef who needs to be respected. Follow the betting moves closely.

RACE 2 (1,000M) More well-bred first-timers to consider including One World colt (2) ONE TIGER as well as a Vercingetorix filly out of a Fastnet Rock mare, (9) SPIRITRIX. It could be a thriller and perhaps a form line to follow.

(3) SCORPIO, a son of Gimmethegreenlight, showed fair potential in his debut outing and returns after a rest and gelding. He could offer more this time.

(7) OPERA FAN has done little wrong and is getting better with each start. She should be right there.

(6) SUNSET WARRIOR was not disgraced after a slow start and can earn if not looking for ground.

RACE 3 (1,400M) Useful juveniles and some are open to improvement going further.

(5) SISTER GOLDEN HAIR won a nice race when tried over ground for the second time. She has the experience to take advantage again.
