GOING: G

JEANNIQUE VERMEULEN FM 82 DIVIDED HANDICAP 2000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 16)    

Plenty of pace from Free In Seattle, Azaleas For All and Teo Torriatte vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. TEO TORRIATTE (3) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1800m at this track to make it two in a row. Should be prominent from the outset. Will give a great sight. WAGRAM (7) improved last start to finish third over 1800m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. FREE IN SEATTLE (4) wasn't far away last time out, finishing fifth over 1800m at this track. The extra journey should play into her hands. One of the main contenders. ART NOUVEAU (6) was narrowly beaten last time finding one better at this track. That followed a run of two wins on end.
