GOING: GS

GALLOP TV YOUTUBE CHANNEL MR 98 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: SOFT   Clear (Max: 27)   7.5m  

Strong early tempo assured with Beechamwood Boy, Cabinet Shuffle and Master Josh locking horns. TEFLON MAN (8) ran a decent race when fourth in his last start over this course and distance. He has won twice and finished second once from five starts over this distance. He returns to Handicap Company and rates highly. COMMON GROUNDS (12) was an easy winner of his last start over this distance on the polytrack. It is encouraging that Richard Fourie is back in the saddle. He is likely to race up on the speed and may be hard to peg back. GOOD TRAVELLER (14) was well supported last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth at this track over 1100m. Faces an easier assignment so he is sure to be prominent. EXCEPT TEMPTATION (5) is a distance specialist who Is coming along nicely this prep, scoring by 0.8 lengths last start over 1200m at Greyville All Weather. Suitably placed and should be figuring in the finish.
