Timeform South Africa SmartPlays: Monday 28 December

#9 Joyful Noise - Fairview R6 (13:15)

Joyful Noise has won three of her six outings so far, including when producing a career best to land the odds over this course and distance earlier in the month. That form has already received a boost, and a repeat performance should see her very difficult to beat. Travel In Style looks the pick of the remainder, while Brandina makes up the shortlist.

#7 Bushy Park - Fairview R7 (13:55)

It has been a long time since Bushy Park has been in the winners' enclosure, a victory over this course and distance in November 2019 the last time she crossed the line in front, but she has been running reasonably well in defeat this season and merits consideration on the pick of her form. Intrepid Traveller is less exposed than the selection and could prove the chief threat, while Beneficiary gets the vote to claim the remainder of the minor prize money.

#3 Linda Loves Lace - Fairview R8 (14:29)

Linda Loves Lace bounced back to form out of the blue when producing one of her best performances to regain the winning thread here last month, and she ran at least as well, if not better, in defeat at this venue last time, coming up a nose short in her bid to follow up. She is clearly in rude health at present and should take plenty of beating. Bold Dreamer should also make his presence felt now stepped back up in trip, while Basilica Santo is another who merits a second glance.
