GOING:

RACING TODAY NOVICE HANDICAP 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 15)    

Anticipating a strong tempo with plenty of speed engaged. WINSTON'S WONDER (2) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 8 lengths into seventh over 1600m at this track. Placed 2/2 second-up and will find this easier. Strips fitter and can take this out. ONE OF THOSE DAYS (3) is a promising galloper who saluted at his last run before a break 12 weeks ago over 1400m at this track. Likely to feature. ONETWOBUCKLEMYSHOE (4) is back from a spell of eight months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1600m contest at Turffontein Inside by 3 lengths. Ticks all the right boxes. QUEVANO (6) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1450m at Turffontein Inside. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Worth another chance.
