GOING:

ZANETHEMBA CHARITY FOUNDATION CLASSIFIED STAKES 1600m

Track: STANDARD      

Anticipating a strong tempo with plenty of speed engaged. JOHNNY DRAMA (1) finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at Fairview All Weather three weeks ago. Steps up in distance today which suits much better. The testing material. ACTION AMERICA (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 13 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1400m at Fairview All Weather, beaten 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. IM THE BUZZ (5) has four placings from eight appearances this preparation and last start finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1600m at Fairview All Weather. Don't underestimate. QONDANEKUKHANYENI (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Fairview All Weather, beaten 5 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
