RACING240 FOR RACING. FOR YOU MR 80 HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 17)   Zero on the back straight to 6,5m on the bend with a 6,5m spur at the 700m mark.  

Plenty of pressure on from the outset with some speedy types engaged in the good-sized field. SILVANO'S SONG (11) may not have seen out the 2400m last time. He was not beaten far when fourth in his penultimate run over this distance on the Inside course. He finished second in his only attempt over this course and distance. He has dropped to a competitive rating and will be storming home late. STREWN SKY (2) followed up his maiden victory with a good third-place finish. He has won once, finished second once and third once from four starts on this course. With a bit of luck in the running, he should be figuring in the finish. FESTIVAL OF MAGIC (10) is a last-start winner over the shorter trip of 1600m at Turffontein Inside, getting home by a long neck. Drops significantly in the weights so he is a leading contender again. CELTIC RUSH (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1800m at this track, clocking in 7 lengths from the winner. Has an imposing record at this course and distance with two wins from four outings. Has place prospects.
