    Race Analysis

    RED CORAL (3) recorded a strong maiden win over 7f at this track last time, getting there by 1.5 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Handy draw will assist and she should be in the finish. MIDWAY (6) finished 3.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 7f at this track after being in contention on the bend six weeks ago as 7/4 favourite. Steps up in distance. Reunites with Luyolo Mxothwa who has two wins when on board. Should be hard to stop. PRINCE OF TIBET (9) doesn't win very often but ran a strong race last time out over 6¼f at this track, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MELA STRENGTH (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at this track, beaten 2 lengths into fifth. Nicely placed to find some form.
