GOING: G

RACING TODAY FM 77 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 24)   3.5m back straight to 5m on the bend with a 5m spur at 600mark; Start forward of zero: 11m  

Strong early tempo with Glawari, Smelting and Risky Business leading the way. WAITFORGREENLIGHT (7) followed up her maiden victory with a good third-place finish over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course. Racing well and can take this race out. GOLDEN ASPEN (5) is a winner of her last two starts. She takes on stronger, but she has scope and should give a good account of herself. MIDNIGHT FUSION (2) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1000m at Turffontein Inside. Should be prominent from the outset and rates well as one of the main contenders. WESTERN WISHES (8) finished seventh of 12 over 1200m at Greyville last start. Jumps from an inside gate and dropping back in distance has place claims.
