TUDOR RULLAH 1990 STRYDOM'S GREATEST RIDE FM 78 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 18)    

Solid tempo from I Am Regal, Teo Torriatte and Instant Attraction battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. ART NOUVEAU (3) won well last time out over 1800m at Vaal to make it two straight victories. Should settle in behind the speed and can record a hat-trick. TEO TORRIATTE (1) won well over 2400m at Vaal last start. She is racing well this prep and will be hard to beat again. WAGRAM (4) is better than her last start run for 11th of 13 over 1800m at Vaal would suggest. She was in solid form prior to that last run and is worth another chance. ELEMBEE (2) has placed in both two previous runs, the latest coming when third of 12 over 1750m at Scottsville. Well worth an each-way ticket.
