BATTLE FORCE 1600m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 23) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Lots of pace on paper so expect a genuine tempo. FAIZAH (10) should have finished closer to the winner last time as she hung outwards in the final 300m. She won her penultimate run over this course and distance. She is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from her wide draw, and she will be mowing down the frontrunners. PRINCESS ILARIA (2) has good recent form lines to her credit. She stayed on when second over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time. She drops in class and she should pose a threat. ONE SMART COOKIE (5) is a winner of her last two starts, the latest of which was over 1400m at Greyville. She steps up to the mile and the blinkers have been removed. She is in a good space and can bring up the hat-trick. RADU (11) has finished second in her last two starts. She stayed on strongly when second over 1400m on this course last time. With a bit of luck in the running she can place.
