RACING TODAY FM 93 DIVIDED HANDICAP 2000m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 26) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Only a small field with Nkwenkwezi likely to find a comfortable lead. Expecting ARTIC SILVER (5) to go close. Finished sixth last time in a very busy finish just a length from Boom Boom and meets the winner a few kilos better. Has good form for this and expected to go close. BOOM BOOM (4) beat a few of these last time and had to fend off a wall of challengers in a brave win. Up in weight but going well and looks a top chance again. NKWENKWEZI (6) is a speedy type who took an age to get off the mark but has won three on end now. Likely to take catching with the light weight. FREE IN SEATTLE (3) turned in a mediocre effort last time out but course and distance winner who drops in weight and draws the rails. Winning rider back on. Worth another chance.
