CONGRATULATIONS CANDICE DAWSON ON YOUR JULY DAY WINNER FM 77 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1160m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 17)    

Hot pace certain with World Heritage, Global Thunder and Lady Of Memphis keen to take up the running. GOLDEN ASPEN (7) rallied late when second over 1400m at Scottsville last time. She has won once and finished third twice from ten starts over this course and distance. She is in a good space and will be mowing down the frontrunners. VALIEVA (2) is better than her last start run over 1200m at the Vaal would suggest. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she should pose a threat. BLINDFIRE (8) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 1000m at Vaal. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and she is likely to feature in the finish again. SAIGON SUZIE (4) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1160m at this track. Well placed here to return to form.
