GOING: G

SUMMER CUP 29 NOVEMBER MR 72 HANDICAP 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 20)    

Keen speed battle, with Global Thunder, Lady Of Memphis and Twentytwentyvision prominent. TWENTYTWENTYVISION (3) showed good improvement in his last start over 1200m on this course. The manner in which he stayed on at the finish was encouraging. He drops back to 1000m and the blinkers will sharpen him up. Piere Strydom rides on his peak run and if confirming his recent improvement, he may be the one to beat. ORIENTAL BOUQUET (10) flyjumped leaving the start last time and stayed on well at the finish. He runs well for Chase Maujean and is one of the leading chances. GLOBAL THUNDER (2) showed good speed over 1200m last time and tried hard all the way to the line. She is in a good space and may be hard to peg back. TOGETHER AGAIN (11) tried hard when third over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time. Apprentice Girish Samo- Burthia retains the ride and she can finish in the placings.
