ALESIAN CHIEF 1600m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 23) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of pace on show, headed by Impact Investor, Continentalexpress and Terminator. FORWARD MOTION (5) ran a fair race when fourth last time out. Her penultimate run when second catches the eye. The 4kg claiming apprentice Jacey Botes steps back into the saddle and if getting her own way in front, she may be hard to peg back. INGQWELE (8) was an easy winner of his last start run over this course and distance. He raced from a handy position, quickened up well and drew clear of the opposition. He races in the same class and can follow up with another victory. DOWN BY THE RIVER (15) won by a neck at long odds last time out at this track. Rates among the chances. GURKHA (11) placed second of 11 last start at this track and should race up on the speed. Has each-way claims.
