RACEHORSE OWNERS ASSOCIATION MR 80 HANDICAP 1600m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 16) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Expecting a slick tempo with Captain Of Grit, Two Miles West and Copper Mist leading the way. SAFE SPACE (8) finished fifth over 1800m at this track at his most recent appearance on April 20. Has found a suitable race and rates well as a leading chance. CAPTAIN OF GRIT (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 21 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1600m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. TWO MILES WEST (2) finished eighth last time out over 1600m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 4 lengths. Worth plenty of thought. HOUSTON (6) turned in another moderate effort last start when 9 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1400m at Turffontein Standside at the second run back from a spell. Raymond Danielson gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Nicely placed to find some form.
