GOING: G

RACEHORSE OWNERS ASSOCIATION FM 78 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 14)    

Strong early tempo assured with Enchanting Lady, Bad Hair Day and Samoa locking horns. WHAT A LUCY (2) was an emphatic winner last time over 1100m at Turffontein Standside with today's rider Craig Zackey engaged. Is in top form this preparation, chalking-up two wins. Should be hard to stop. LADY ELLIOT (8) hasn't been far away recently including last time out when second over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. GOLDEN MOMENT (14) won over 1160m at Turffontein Standside on June 9 at her only appearance to date. Nice weight drop so she is one of the main contenders. WHERE'S THE PARTY (1) turned in a modest performance when third last time out over 1200m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 3.5 lengths, after a win at Turffontein Standside at the previous outing. Suitably placed and is worth an each-way ticket.
