July 26 South Africa (Turffontein/Kenilworth) form analysis
-
RACE 1 (1,160M) Well-bred (11) QUEENSLAND outran market expectations when finishing second on debut over track and trip. She would have benefited from that experience and with any improvement could go one better.
(7) UMZINGELI WENYATHI has shown enough to make his presence felt and should acquit himself competitively.
Newcomers (2) CLEVER TREVOR and (10) MEMPHIS are all respected on debut, especially if the market speaks in their favour. Watch the betting.
RACE 2 (1,160M) Well-related (5) SISTERSHIP caught the eye on debut when a fast-finishing second over track and trip, despite drifting in the betting and suffering interference at the start. She would have come on nicely with that experience and it should pay to follow her progress.
Imported debutant (6) STORMY DAY should not be ignored.
(2) GASLIGHT DANCER was a game-in-defeat when third over this course and distance last time in open company. So she should have a role to play if confirming that improvement.
(7) VAMANOS has not been seen since making her debut in March but she was fancied that day, so is respected on her reappearance.
RACE 3 (1,000M) (1) MAGICAL PALACE ran a cracker on debut. With natural improvement, should be hard to beat.
(5) SARDINIA BAY improved at the second run and has to be respected for all bets — strong each-way chance.
(9) WAROFDYNAMITE with weight off can earn and (8) WORLD CHAMPION can improve to get closer.
RACE 4 (1,000M) (4) CHIEFTAIN beat several re-opposing rivals over this course and distance when an authoritative winner of a similar event last time. He carries a three-point penalty for that success but is progressive and could improve sufficiently to confirm his superiority over his familiar foes, despite the unfavourable weight turnarounds. Stablemate (2) COSMIC STAR and speedy (5) ONE FELL SWOOP should pose more of a threat on these terms.
Hard-knocker (8) HALBERDIER will not be far off the mark.
