www.tabgold.co.za MR 91 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1800m

Track: AW   Clouds (Max: 21)    

Plenty of early pace on show, particularly from Positive Attitude, Royal Swan Master and Banzai Pipeline. ROYAL SWAN MASTER (2) cost himself winning last time as he lost three lengths leaving the starting stalls. He should love the extra 100m on offer and if jumping on terms, he can notch up his third-career victory. OFFICER IN COMMAND (7) is a winner of his last two starts, the latest of which was over 1700m on this course. He is in a good space and can notch up the hat-trick. NOCTURNAL FLIGHT (4) ran a good race when finishing fourth and having to overcome the widest draw last time out. He raced from a handy position and fought on gamely at the business end. He rises in class but with only 52kg on his back, he can have a say in the outcome of this contest. MVELELO (8) finished sixth and not far behind the third pick last time. He is capable of figuring in the finish this time. Include in all combinations.
