GOING:

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 PINNACLE STAKES 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 15)    

Strong tempo primarily from Bingwa, Zinovi and Bush Tracker over Mhlabeni and Global Ally. GLOBAL ALLY (6) has consistent form lines to his name. He received a check leaving the start over 2000m last time and finished off his race well. If getting away to a clean start, he can notch up his eighth-career victory. ZINOVI (2) finished 0.1 lengths behind the top selection last time. Rates well as a leading chance. BINGWA (1) is a winner of his last two starts, the latest of which was over this course and distance. He returns from a spell and if not in need of this outing, he can bring up the hat-trick. BUSH TRACKER (4) ran a good race when second in the Non-Black Type Fairview 1400 last time. Two of his six career victories have come over this distance. He jumps from pole position once again and cannot be ignored. FIREALLEY (3) travelled in a rearwards position then made a little ground and finished 2.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at Fairview All Weather five weeks ago. Racing over a longer trip can place.

Back from a spell. Only had one start last campaign won by 0.5 len at this track March 14 over 1600m defeating Mhlabeni carrying 62kg at $5. First up last campaign 9th of 13 at Turffontein Standside on February 3 2024 over 1400m, 8 len behind Unzen carrying 60kg at $41. Could prove too smart for these.
