Nov 13 South Africa (Greyville) form analysis

(1) PRINCESS GOLDIE has shown promise in her two starts on the turf, but the switch to the Poly from a favourable draw can see her home.

(4) HEAD GIRL has had plenty of chances but is never too far back and goes well on the Poly.

(7) CHAKPORI has been much improved on the Poly, with her best run being over course and distance. She can feature in this small field.

(5) LADY SMALLWOOD is also quite capable of winning.

(1) WAR EMPRESS has been contesting higher handicaps on the turf, and the switch to Poly could be in her favour.

(3) SWEET JULIA had no luck from a wide draw last start. She should go close for her second win.

(7) GREY FANTACY has her third run after a break and showed improved form in her second start. She makes her Poly debut but should strip at her peak.

(2) EMERALD GREEN goes well on the Poly and from a favourable draw should be competitive.

(1) STAR OF THE FUTURE is lightly raced and has his third run after a break. He was narrowly beaten in third when tried over ground for the first time and, if he takes to the Poly, he could be difficult to beat.
