    Race Analysis

    RAFA BAY (4) was well fancied but just missed last time over 5f at Turffontein Standside, finishing 0. 3 lengths from the winner. Will appreciate the extra ground. Expected to go very well. ESQUEVELLE (2) has been freshened up since a narrow defeat last time over 5¾f at Turffontein Standside. Leading player again. ANTONIO GAUDI (5) had been thereabouts before a deserved success over 5¾f at Turffontein Standside, scoring by 0. 8 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Should be involved in the finish. SUTHERLAND (7) last appeared when sixth over 7¼f at Turffontein Inside nine weeks ago at the only appearance of that campaign. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
