|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Certain to be a strong tempo with Ancient Wisdom, Destiny Of Fire and Kuramathi leading the charge. DESTINY OF FIRE (2) recorded a strong maiden win over 1600m at Turffontein Standside last time, getting there by 1.4 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and she should be in the finish. ANCIENT WISDOM (1) returns after a spell of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1450m at Turffontein Inside. Capable of playing a major role. FREE IN SEATTLE (5) ran a good race last start to finish second over 2000m at this track. May appreciate coming back in journey. Must contend with a wide draw but is a real danger. SENSORIA (4) turned things around last start and got the job done by a head over 1600m at this track. Solid top-three prospects.
