GOING:

WWW.TAB4RACING.COM MR 72 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 14)    

Faithful Neo, Lonely As A Cloud and Heirloom to take up the running at a decent tempo. DANCING DORA (7) finished a close-up fourth of eight over 1000m at this track last start when well supported. With a bit of luck in the running she can return to winning form. Rates well as a leading chance. PACIFIC (5) went a bold race to finish third of eight over 1000m at this track last start when well supported. He has placed third in three of his last four starts and has solid each-way claims. HEIRLOOM (3) has fair recent form lines to her credit. She drops back in class and from pole position she can improve on her last start fifth of 10 over 1200m at this track to run a place. LONELY AS A CLOUD (2) was unplaced two runs back when finishing fifth of 13 then again missed the frame last start over 1000m at Vaal, finishing seventh of nine over 1000m when well supported. He is better than those last two runs would suggest and jumping from an inside draw is worth considering.
