SAF - TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE   15 Nov 2024
 
GOING:

CATCH THE UNMISSABLE LIVE ACTS ON 30 NOVEMBER MR 83 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 25)    

Certain to be a strong tempo with Chieftain, Kindred Heart and Veldskoen leading the charge. CHIEFTAIN (1) made a nice return last time out to finish second and beaten only a neck over this course and distance. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Rates well as a leading contender. KINDRED HEART (2) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at Turffontein Inside over 1000m. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and is a key runner. KING OF VENUS (3) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1000m at this track, getting home by a neck. Winning rider Calvin Habib retains the mount. Finds a suitable race and can build on recent success. BASINGSTOKE (6) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1000m contest at Turffontein Inside last time out. Can go back-to-back.
