Gimme A Prince will be fresher for the task

Nov 16 South Africa (Kenilworth) form analysis

RACE 1 (1,2oo M) (2) GIMMEATHRILL, (14) ELSINORE, (4) CHARLIE BUCKET are improving, closely matched on the form of a recent meeting, and should acquit themselves well with further progress expected.

(18) HONORINE'S GIMMIE is another to keep an eye on.

RACE 2 (1,4OOM) (5) RICH FOLKS HOAX finished second over this trip in his first Western Cape appearance and will go close if building on that improvement in his peak outing.

(7) GREEN GARNET also filled the runners-up berth in his local debut. Open to further progress. (3) MARINE MERCHANT can play a leading role, especially from a favourable inside draw.

(15) OKAVANGO is drawn widest but will know more about it after an encouraging introduction.

RACE 3 (1,400 M) (3) SNOW PILOT took advantage of favourable conditions to win a similar contest last time and is ideally placed to follow up.

(5) BIORN IRONSIDE will pose more of a threat to the selection after an encouraging seasonal pipe-opener over a shorter trip.

(7) INFRARED has regained his best form as a gelding and should acquit himself competitively, though does have a bit to find at the weights.

(9) WILLIAM IRON ARM is not underestimated on his local/stable debut. He has scope to improve as a gelding.
