GOING: GS

IN THE BOX SEAT PODCAST MR 84 HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT   Clear (Max: 27)   7.5m  

From their good gates Teatime Tipple, Imposing and Dynalley will likely vie for the lead in a keen early contest. PHUTULICIOUS (9) was doing his best work at the finish when fourth over 1600m at Greyville last time. He has won twice and finished second once from four starts over this course and distance. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from his wide draw of nine and he will be storming home later. EL REY VIENE (4) was disappointing in his last start over 1600m a Greyville. He has won once and finished second four times from nine starts on this course. He runs well for S'manga Khumalo and the drop to 1400m may do the trick. IMPOSING (2) won a good race in his last start over this course and distance. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He is in a good space and can follow up. RALPH THE RASCAL (8) will be rock-hard fit now following a nice effort at this track last start when finishing second of 12.
