GOING:

RACING240 FM 80 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 22)    

Solid tempo with Rabble Rouser, Opera Fan and Kylie's Angel going hard, closely attended by Ada Lovelace. RABBLE ROUSER (3) was far from disgraced to finish 0.7 lengths away in third last start over 1400m at Greyville. That followed a win on debut at Turffontein Standside. Faces an easier assignment and kept fresh for this sharper journey. Expected to bounce straight back. FAIR PROPOSAL (1) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Should be peaking now and is a key runner. ADA LOVELACE (9) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Expected to feature. SIGRID SWING (4) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 0.9 lengths over 1200m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
