RACING240 FM 100 HANDICAP 1000m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 26) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Small field but a good tempo is expected with Manyeleti, Precocious and Poblano pressing on. PRECOCIOUS (2) scored by 2 lengths last start at Vaal over this distance. Is yet to miss the frame from four starts at this distance, including three wins. Should be prominent from the outset. Unbeaten this time in and cam make it four straight. MANYELETI (5) resumes after a break of 11 weeks. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1000m at Vaal. Has found a suitable race to kick off the campaign. POBLANO (1) didn't do a bad job when second last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. That followed a win at Vaal the start prior. Likely improver with strong prospects. ALPINE JET (4) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 1000m at Vaal when resuming from a spell, beaten 4 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
