GOING:

EXPERT EYE STANDING AT PAARDEBERG STUD CLASS 4 1250m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 18)    

Raffish Trend, Blue Lagoon and Lady Look Alike will inject plenty of pace. GIRL LIKE US (6) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1200m at Kenilworth, finishing second and beaten a head. Long overdue and expected to go close. ALL IS GREEN (7) performed above expectations last time over 1200m at Kenilworth, finishing 0.7 lengths from the winner in third after starting at huge odds. Can frank that form here. LADY LOOK ALIKE (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Kenilworth, beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Nicely placed to take this out. RAFFISH TREND (9) bounced back last start and landed the prize by half a length over 1500m at Kenilworth. Finds a suitable race and can feature prominently.
