GOING:

EAST CAPE BREEDERS STAKES 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 18)    

With good speed engaged, a strong tempo is anticipated. GIMME'S LASSIE (4) is racing in good form. She has won once and finished second once from four starts over this course and distance. Craig Zackey steps back into the saddle and she can notch up her fifth-career victory. SPLICETHEMAINBRACE (1) was not disgraced when third. She returns from a spell which would have done her the world of good. She is unbeaten from two starts over this course and distance and has won fresh-previously. Rates well as a main danger. SONG OF MYSELF (10) won a good race in her local debut over this course and distance last start when sent out as the favourite. She takes a rise in class but should be well up to the task at hand. WINTER GREETING (2) was out of the money two runs back then again failed to fire last start over 1000m at Greyville. having her fourth run this prep so should be cherry ripe fitness wise. Jumping from an inside draw can place. Include in exotic bets.
