GOING: G

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 FM 94 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 24)   3.5m back straight to 5m on the bend with a 5m spur at 600mark; Start forward of zero: 11m  

Strong tempo early from Global Thunder booting up on the rail, joined by Flowerbomb and Woman Of Power spearing over. EXCHANGE STUDENT (1) was given a gun ride when winning her last start over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course. She has won once and finished second once from as many starts on this course. She is in a good space and merits healthy respect. GREEN FLASH (7) is better than her last start run against male company would suggest. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she should be involved at the finish. WOMAN OF POWER (5) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start running sixth at Turffontein Inside. Has upside and is expected to be in the finish this time. VIRGINIA BEACH (4) made progress finishing midfield last start at Turffontein Inside, worth throwing in exotic bets for value.
