Winchester should be all geared up to fire first win

Oct II South Africa (Turffontein) form analysis

- 

RACE 1 (1,450M)

(1) WINDS OF GRACE was a disappointing beaten odds-on favourite last time but there were excuses for her performance. She could therefore be worth another chance, especially from gate No. 1 and over a course and distance she has twice finished runner-up.

However, a bigger threat will likely come from the returning (9) TOP SHELF TEDDY who is open to further improvement on her reappearance.

(4) STONE OF SCONE has shown enough qualities to take a hand in this.

(8) SPIRANAC is a newcomer trained by Candice Dawson and is not without a say on debut.

RACE 2 (1,450M)

(3) WINCHESTER has improved in two starts with headgear fitted and will likely play a leading role with a repeat of either performance.

(9) TASKMASTER and (8) GONNA CATCH YOU were well backed on debut but did not live up to expectations. Both were subsequently gelded and are open to improvement on their reappearances.

(10) KORCULA improved when stepping up to 1,200m and should make her presence felt with this extended trip likely to unlock further progress.

RACE 3 (1,800M)

(6) GREEN MACHINE and (9) TEXAS MISSILE are well-bred three-year-old colts open to any amount of improvement over this distance after satisfactory introductions over 1,450m. Both will know more about it with that experience under the belt.
