RACING TODAY MR 78 HANDICAP 1600m Track: STANDARD |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
They should roll along at a decent clip. WINTER EMERALDS (5) was his own worst enemy over 1400m on the turf last time as he over raced in the early stages. He won his only orevious attempt on this course. He meets a small field and if Richard Fourie is able to switch him off early, he can return to winning form. BLACKBERRY BREEZE (6) ran a good race when fourth over this distance on the turf last time. He is having his peak run today and should be cherry-ripe. ARLU (3) is better than his last start run over 1400m on the turf would suggest. He has won once and finished third twice from as many starts on this course. On best form shown, he should be fighting out the finish. DYNALLEY (2) has fair recent form lines to his name. He has finished second once and third once from as many starts over this course and distance. He will be staying on well at the finish.
