GOING: G

SUMMER CUP 29 NOVEMBER FM 92 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 20)    

Good pace with Twostep Queen, Visionofpeace and Ceuta matching motors. CEUTA (1) showed good signs of a form return over 1160m at Turffontein last time. She should have finished closer as she was tightened for running room from the 300m mark to the 150m mark. She is unbeaten from two starts over this course and distance and will be looking to keep that record intact. BLIND AMBITION (6) ran on well when winning her last start over 1400m on this course. She is in a good space and can follow up. CAPE LIGHTS (3) has fair form lines to her name. She has won twice, finished second three times and third twice from 14 starts over this distance. She continues to drop in the ratings and can finish in the placings. TOO LATE MY MATE (5) was disappointing over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time. If putting her best foot forward, she should be finishing in the money. Include in exotic bets.
