    Race Analysis

    BELLEROPHON (13) had a bit on his rivals last time with an impressive 8 lengths win over 7½f at this track. Has been in the money at all three starts this campaign, including a win. Sure to go very well. UNSOLVED RIDDLE (10) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 2. 25 lengths when fourth in a 1m contest at this track two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. DARK SILVER (4) returns after a lay-off of six months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1m at this track. Has found the right race and is worth including. JORDAN (3) resumes. After filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Turffontein Standside over 1m2f on June 23. Worth plenty of thought.
