    Race Analysis

    BELLA BOOP BOOP (10) improved last start when she did her best work late to finish third over 1m1/2f at this track. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. SANTIAGO'S PRIDE (1) finished 5.5 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1m2f at Turffontein Inside five weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. HEROIC ACT (2) finished second last time over 1m2f at this track when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 0.8 lengths. In the right race and is a winning hope. CHIEFTAIN'S SHIELD (4) has been in the money four times including last start on March 25 when third over 1m2f at this track. Has a solid record here with two top-three finishes to his name. Worth including.
