---|---|---|---|---|
They will be low-flying early with plenty of speed across the line. LIKE A PRAYER (8) showed good improvement in her last start over 1450m on this course. She set the pace and stayed on well to finish third. She is a progressive type and with the services of Phelisile Mongqawa, she should find herself in the winner's enclosure. HIGHVELD STORM (4) stayed on well when third of 15 over 1400m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. He is having his peak run and rates well as one of the leading contenders. OKLAHOMA TWISTER (3) stayed on well when third of 11 over 1450m on this course last time. If repeating that effort, he should be fighting out the finish. SUMMER SHADE (6) is better than his last start run over 1160m at Turffontein would suggest. He has finished second once and third twice from four starts on this course. Has each-way claims.
