CONGRATULATIONS SEAN TARRY ON YOUR JULY DAY WINNER MR 72 HANDICAP 2000m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 17) |

---|---|---|---|---|
Molotov Cocktail, Dual Prophecy and Vava Vegas to roll forward and set up a solid tempo. DUAL PROPHECY (3) stayed on well at the finish when third of 13 over this course and distance last time. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. Callan Murray takes the ride and he may be able to get the best out of him when it matters most. MOLOTOV COCKTAIL (1) made the expected natural improvement when winning his last start over 1600m on the Vaal Classic course. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He takes on stronger rivals but has plenty of scope and should be up to the task at hand. STORM AHEAD (6) is better than his last start run over 2400m would suggest. His form prior to that outing was consistent. Has to be respected. VOLTE FACE (4) stayed on well when second over 1800m at the Vaal last time. He would have come on from the run and will strip much fitter. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field from his wide draw and will be running on.
