RACING TODAY MR 88 HANDICAP 2000m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 19) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
With good speed engaged, a strong tempo is anticipated. ROBERT BROWNING (3) improved last time out, finishing a long neck from the winner in third at the end of 2000m at this track. Philasande Mxoli gets the best out of this four-year-old gelding. Progressing well and drops in class on last two strong runs. Low draw and a win is on the cards. BOUNDLESS LOVE (6) lifted strongly to score last time with 1.1 lengths to spare over 1800m at Vaal, making it two in a row. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. More weight but hard to fault recent form. ORANGE COUNTY (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a narrow second behind Boundless Love. Meets the winner much better at the weights and could well turn the tables. KUDZU (1) finished eighth over 2000m at this track last time out following a determined win two back. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and a minor placing from four tries. Can figure in the outcome.
