4RACING WELCOMES YOU WORK RIDERS MAIDEN HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 20)    

Expecting a strong tempo, predominantly from Hanifah, Cyber Spirit and Cape Flower. PARIS FUN (2) showed good improvement when third over this distance at Turffontein last time. She was slow into stride and stayed on well at the finish. She will strip much fitter and may have more to come. BELLA BOOP BOOP (3) ran a fair race over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course last time. She stayed on nicely at the finish that day. Has each-way claims. CYBER SPIRIT (1) ran a fair race in her comeback run over 1000m at Turffontein. She would have come on from the run and if seeing out the 1400m, she can finish in the money. MADAME POMPADOUR (5) has been disappointing in her last two starts at Turffontein. She finished third over 1300m on this course, three runs ago. Samuel Mosia is booked to ride, and she would not be a shock winner.
