RACING240 FOR RACING. FOR YOU FM 86 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: AW      

Certain to be a strong tempo with River Queraress, Idita and Chroniclesofnania leading the charge. UNITED EXPRESS (4) is a winner of her last four starts. She fought hard for her last victory over this distance on the turf. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She won her only attempt over this course and distance. From her good draw should be hard to beat. AERIAL VIEW (6) ran a good race when finishing third of 11 over this distance on the turf last time and was then put out for a spell. She has won once, finished second once and third twice from eight starts over this distance. Craig Zackey is in the saddle and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her when it matters most. IDITA (2) ran a fair race to finish fourth of 10 here in her last start. She has won once and finished second twice from six starts on this course. Luyolo Mxothwa retains the ride and has place prospects. RIVER QUERARESS (1) finished eighth last time out over 1000m at this track when sent out as the favourite. From an inside gate can atone.
