GOING:

BETWAY MR 70 HANDICAP 1450m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 23)    

Genuine pace with Prized Platinum finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. Plenty of win chances. PRIZED PLATINUM (1) has been kept fresh since leading all the way for an effortless win over 1400m in the same grade at Vaal. More weight this time but will press forward and take catching again. MATROOSBERG (6) was a 1450m Vaal winner last time at third run back from a break to score maiden success. Has upside and despite the tricky gate expected to give a sight again. PEREGRINE FALCON (4) is going better than recent form suggests. Has placed all three this time in but looks very well placed here with the claim and should be in the finish. FOSTINOVO (2) has been out of the winner's list for a while but has been racing in tougher grade. Placed 3/5 this course and distance and back in class this time can improve.
