Thriving Argo Alley will be hard to oppose

Sept 6 South Africa (Turffontein) form analysis

- 

(1) ALPHA WORLD was a beaten short-priced favourite in August, but there were valid excuses that day, and a return to this shorter trip in his peak outing could suit.

(5) MIDNIGHT FLYER has shown enough to fight for victory.

(2) ACTUARY has scope to improve. Could get into the picture.

(7) STONE OF SCONE will likely play a leading role.

Watch the betting on newcomers (6) NEBRASKA, (3) BOOM TOWN and (4) HIMITSU.

(3) TIME FOR CHARITY is the only previous course-and-distance winner in the race.

(2) MISTY METAL and (1) PRINCESS LOLA have dropped to competitive marks and should hold their own off their current ratings. Recent scorer (6) SHEETS AND GOGGLES and hard-knocker (5) GODSPEED have both the form and experience to have a say.

(9) FISH HAWK caught the eye on debut when staying on strongly to finish second over 1000m, and with that experience under the belt, this extended trip should be more to her liking.
