Cape Lights represents value in a tricky handicap

May 29 South Africa (Vaal) form analysis

- 

RACE 1 (1,700M) This will not take much winning, so (1) BRIGHAM need not improve much on recent form and consistency to break his duck.

(4) ALAKANANI, (7) ART NOUVEAU and (8) BLUE QUARTZ also have the form and experience to play leading roles.

RACE 2 (1,000M) Promising (1) SYLVAN WARRIOR gave weight and a beating to older rivals on his handicap debut last time and, even under top weight, could prove hard to beat back in 2yo company.

(3) CONSTELLATION is 3kg better off last-start winner (2) NYAKA NYAKA, so could give the selection most to fear. Nyaka Nyaka is improving and likely to acquit himself competitively.

Recent runner-up (8) ANCHORAGE should make her presence felt too with any improvement.

RACE 3 (1,200M) (18) JAPANESE GARDEN built on an encouraging debut to finish second over 1,450m last time and showed enough pace that day to suggest that this shorter trip could be more to her liking.

(1) DESERT CLOUD has the form and greater experience to expose any chinks in the selection's armour.

Watch the betting on well-bred debutants (13) AL GREENGA and (10) DEZIRE.
