BETWAY FM 74 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1200m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 24) Zero on the back straight and bend with a 2m spur at the 500m mark |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Hot pace certain with Boom Boom, Salenio Peninsula and Heirloom keen to take up the running. SALENIO PENINSULA (2) won a good race on debut over 1000m at Turffontein. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She is up in class but has the scope to take the next step immediately. BOOM BOOM (1) is better than her last start against stronger company. The drop to 1200m is of no concern as she has won here over this trip previously. She drops down in class and is one of the leading contenders. MIX THE MAGIC (8) finished a game third last start. She is nicely weighted with only 52kg to carry and can figure in the finish again. DANCING DORA (7) has not finished too far off the winner in recent outings. She will be doing her best work at the finish and is worth including in all combinations.
