PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MR 74 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 16)    

Keen speed battle, with Military Moves, Brave Waam and Itsnowornever prominent. SPACE MISSION (2) finished ninth two runs back at Turffontein Inside then improved last time out to score by 0.6 lengths as public elect over 1600m at Greyville. That was in open class and looks sure to prove hard to beat again. NARETOI (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.3 lengths from the winner in third over 1500m at Vaal. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. KNOWMORE (5) was rewarded with his maiden success last start, scoring by 0.6 lengths over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Winning rider Calvin Habib stays aboard and he is a solid top-three hope. BRAVE WAAM (1) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1500m contest at Vaal last time out by 0.6 lengths. One of the key contenders.
