GOING: G

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 FM 100 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 30)    

From the inside gate Pointer should show enough dash to hold the lead, with pressure from Lady Sabrina. LITTLEMISSMILLION (9) made a good return in Grade 3 company fresh. Won only start this course and distance and won only other try second up. The one to beat. BAKWENA (4) has run very well here including a win three back. In great form and looks a top chance. ACCEPT COOKIES (3) wasn't far from winner at her last appearance over a little further here. Has a great record this course and distance. Rates highly. ACROSS THE POND (6) is better than last start and has a strong record course and distance. Nicely placed to atone.
