The 2,400m Is Not Too Far for Banha Bridge

July 3 South Africa (Vaal) form analysis

- 

RACE 1 (1,400M) (2) PARIS FUN caught the eye over this trip last time when staying on from a handy position to finish third on her reappearance after a three-month break. She would have tightened up with the benefit of that outing and will not need to improve much to break her duck.

(3) BELLA BOOP BOOP and (1) CYBER SPIRIT have the form and experience to take home a cheque.

(5) MADAME POMPADOUR is not out of it.

RACE 2 (2,400M) Improving (1) FOLLOW THE MASTER finished a game second that day over 2,000m. He should have more to offer over this extended distance and will prove hard to peg back if adopting similar tactics.

(3) HEROIC ACT is weighted to pose more of a threat on these terms. Not without a say.

(2) SANTIAGO'S PRIDE had legitimate excuses for a disappointing last run when supported in the market, so he should not be written off in his peak outing, especially over this trip and with alumite plates refitted.

(6) ALAKANANI is also well in on weights and should not be taken lightly in this.
