GOING:

TOTE SOCCER BETS APPRENTICE CLASS 5 1000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 19)    

Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. PRANKSTER (8) has some good recent form lines to her credit. She showed good speed here over this trip last time out, but did not go on with the effort. She drops back will be very hard to beat. JANE'S VISION (9) returns from an 11-week break, which would have done her the world of good. She also takes a drop in class, and she gets the services of 4kg, claiming Apprentice Dezahn Louw. On her best form, she should be involved at the finish. QUENTASIA (6) ran a fair race when third over 1200m on the polytrack last time. She runs well for 2.5kg, claiming Apprentice Mxolisi Mbuto, and cannot be underestimated. MAMAS BABY (5) has shown signs of needing her last two starts. She is having her first run for the Tienie Prinsloo stable. In this type of field, she can improve to finish in the placings. Include in all combinations.
