Race Analysis
VIRGIN RIVER (6) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths over this journey at Turffontein Inside. Is yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. In form and should go well again. BOSUM BUDDY (2) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start when she worked home well but found a couple better over 5f at Turffontein Standside, beaten only 1.1 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. NIGHT VIGIL (1) scored last start at Turffontein Standside to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will give backers a great sight. KIA KAHA (7) turned in another moderate effort last start when 7 lengths from the winner in fifth over 5f at Turffontein Inside. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
