    Race Analysis

    PRECOCIOUS (1) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 5f at Turffontein Standside. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and she is sure to go well. PIVOTAL ROLE (2) is a promising gelding yet to miss the frame in two starts, including a win. Has not been produced since he was successful over 5f at this track on October 2. Has a high cruising speed. Expected to be in the finish. TIGER STORM (7) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at this track over 6f. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. BLINDFIRE (5) finished tenth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 5f at this track, beaten only 0. 6 lengths. Placed to advantage so anticipating another big run.
