GOING:

TAKE A BET WINA NUMBA NUMBA MR 66 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 27)    

Lots of speed predominantly from Princess Lola, Bregardt and Call Me Master. SMELTING (9) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 1.1 lengths from the winner at the end of 1000m. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. TWICE AS WILD (8) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 4 lengths when well supported. Nicely placed to turn things around. CALL ME MASTER (3) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1600m at Turffontein Standside. Has to be respected. BREGARDT (2) was in the money two starts back at Vaal but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 5 lengths, at Vaal over 1000m. Nicely placed to turn things around.
