BETWAY SUMMER CUP 30 NOVEMBER MR 86 HANDICAP 2000m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 25) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Genuine tempo with a few of these capable of running them along. STREWN SKY (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1800m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. The engagement of Gavin Lerena is noteworthy. Placed to advantage and can make his presence felt. BIRTHRIGHT (5) is yet to find the winners' list this time in work but has three placings from four appearances this prep, finishing 1.3 lengths away in third most recently over 1800m at this track. Great chance to take this out. PANNING GOLD (9) fought on to score a narrow win at Turffontein Inside over today's trip at his last appearance on October 22. Drops significantly in the weights so he should run well. CELTIC RUSH (8) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 1.1 lengths, over 1700m at Vaal. Should be figuring in the finish. Include in combinations.
