    Race Analysis

    NEVER NEVER LAND (2) turned things around last start and scored by 0. 8 lengths as favourite over 6f at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. PEREGRINE FALCON (6) started favourite last time over 6f at this track but could only manage third. The extra journey should play into his hands. Poses a genuine threat. DONDOYAKI (8) is on a quick turnaround after a moderate fifth over 1m at this track nine days ago. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. GULF OF AMERICA (9) progressed nicely last time out to score by half a length over 5¾f at Turffontein Standside. Well placed to feature in the finish again.
