KWAZULU-NATAL BREEDERS MILE 1600m Track: STANDARD Clear (Max: 22) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
They should roll along at a decent clip in a true test for the milers. MRS GERIATRIX (4) ran a decent race when finishing second of 10 over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. She is the best-weighted runner in this contest and can return to winning form. LAGUNA VERDE (8) showed good signs of a form return in his last start over 1400m at the Vaal. He raced from a handy position, moved up but was caught late. He is the stable elect with Craig Zackey aboard and should prove hard to beat. PLAYER (7) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1900m at Greyville All Weather That followed a win at Turffontein Inside at the previous outing. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. NOBLE CITY (3) finished ninth last start, beaten 6 lengths at this track over 1800m. Comes here with definite each-way claims.
