CHAMPION'S DAY SIX - STRYDOM'S UNFORGETTABLE HAUL FM 82 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1450m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 21) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Hot tempo expected with Whirlybird, Maverick Queen and Perini Palace heading the charge. TOO LATE MY MATE (1) showed some signs of a form return over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time. She takes a big drop in class. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her when it matters most. WHIRLYBIRD (5) stayed on well when fifth of 12 over 1200m on the Greyville polytrack last time. Has each-way claims. WAY TO BURN (3) set the pace over 1400m last time and stayed on well to finish fifth. She has dropped to a competitive rating and can finish in the placings. LADY SABRINA (2) is better than her last start run on the Greyville polytrack would suggest. She has won once and finished second once from as many starts on this course. With a bit of luck in the running she would not be a shock winner.
