BETWAY MR 68 HANDICAP 1800m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 24) Zero on the back straight and bend with a 2m spur at the 500m mark |

---|---|---|---|---|
The speedy trio Eiger Sanction, Guerilla Warfare and Streisand can set the pace from the outset. FLAG BEARER (5) finished runner-up for the third time in a row last start. He is likely to race on the speed from his good gate and with a furlong less to travel this time, he could take them all the way. EIGER SANCTION (1) was an easy winner of his last start over 2000m on this course. He is up in weight but is still good enough to win again. CALLABURN (4) was running on after a slow start over 1500m at the Vaal last time out. He has finished second once and third once from three starts here over this distance. If getting away to a clean start, he should be involved in the fight to the finish. RAINY SEASON (7) finished fourth and not too far behind the second pick in the same race last time. He is 4.5kgs better off at the weights today and should finish closer as a result. Each way value.
