BETWAY MR 66 HANDICAP 1450m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 28) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong early tempo with Guerilla Warfare, Breath Of Magic and Captain Jim leading the way. FAST DUTY (4) stayed on when fifth over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time. Resumes from a spell and takes a drop in class and jumps from a good draw of four. Gavin Lerena may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most. SOUTHERN STYLE (7) did well last time to finish fourth over 1200m at this track. The extra distance should play into her hands. Expected to run well.
KITTYBOYS GIRL (8) was disappointing in her last start over 1800m. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She finished third in her only attempt over this course and distance and on best form shown can figure in the finish. GREEN SCEPTRE (10) finished out of the money two starts back then finished fifth over 1600m at this track last start. Well placed and there is no reason he can't take this race out.
