GOING:

HIGHVELD WINTER JUVENILE STAKES 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 17)    

Pace a scorcher, headed by Sands Of Valhalla, Timeless and Captain Cooper, closely followed by Spirit Of Gabz and Life In Colour. PRAYERSANDPROMISES (4) turned in a good performance last time over 1160m at this track, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in fourth. Talented colt better placed back up in trip. Big chance to atone. TIMELESS (7) impressed when successful on debut over 1160m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. DADS DREAM (1) made it two wins in a row last start when he scored by 2.75 lengths over 1200m at Vaal. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. SANDS OF VALHALLA (5) is a last-start winner two-and-a-half weeks ago, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1200m at Vaal. Serious threat.
