SUMMER CUP TICKETS ON SALE NOW FM 86 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 28)    

Sizzling pace from Kissing Machine, Azaleas For All and Free In Seattle locking horns ahead of Lady Sabrina and Twostep Queen. TWOSTEP QUEEN (1) was not disgraced when third against stronger rivals over 1600m last time. She raced from a handy position and stayed on well at the finish. She drops back in class and with the services of the 4kg claiming apprentice Girish Samo-Burthia should be hard to peg back. ART NOUVEAU (5) moved up well over 2000m at Turffontein last time before getting outrun late. She is unbeaten from two starts on this course and can keep that record intact. AZALEAS FOR ALL (2) has good consistent form lines to her credit. She has won once, finished second once and third once from five starts over this distance and merits healthy respect. FREE IN SEATTLE (3) finished a close-up fourth over 2000m at Turffontein Standside last start. Looks well placed here to return to top-three form.
