GOING: G

RACING TODAY FM 64 HANDICAP 1450m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 16)    

Certain to be a strong tempo with Ode To The Ocean, Cerulean Dancer and Gimme The Flame leading the charge. SOUTHERN STYLE (4) has been thereabouts recently, the latest result a fourth beaten 2 lengths at this track over 1450m. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will play a major role. CERULEAN DANCER (2) scored two back at Greyville All Weather but was below her best last time when fifth over 1450m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. GIMME THE FLAME (3) started at $7 last time and ran below expectations, finishing 10th at this track over 1600m. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. GREEN BUBBLES (6) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1450m at Vaal, beaten 5 lengths into eighth. Worth noting J R Syster goes aboard. Has her share of ability and rates well as a top-three prospect.
