GOING: G

CHAMPION'S DAY SIX - STRYDOM'S UNFORGETTABLE HAUL FM 85 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 18)    

They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. DIMAKO'S JET (2)is racing in top form this prep, including a last start second of eight at this track over today's distance as the favourite. Jumping from the inside draw looks well placed to go one better. LAST CAR TO PASS (1) after placing second in both of her two resuming runs this prep scored over 1600m at Vaa last start. Hard to see her not figuring in the finish. KISSHOTEN (4) came home well to finish third of 10 last time out over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Having her third run this prep and in a fitter state has winning claims. ACCEPT COOKIES (5) battled on well to finish second last start over 1600m at this track after a win the run before when resuming from a spell. She has won third-up previously and has to be respected.
