GOING:

BETWAY SPRING SPREE STAKES 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 26)    

Sizzling pace from Cosmic Star, Red Bomber and Slinky Mapimpi locking horns ahead of Lead The Charge and Espinoza. QUANTUM THEORY (1) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Turffontein Standside two starts back then landed the prize by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. NIGHT BOMBER (8) has switched yards since finishing third seven-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at this track. Definite winning chance in this line-up. CHYAVANA (2) is a distance specialist who finished 13th two runs back at Turffontein Standside then improved last time out to score by 0.7 lengths over 1200m at this track when he came with a powerful finish. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. COSMIC STAR (4) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1000m at this track. Must raise the bar but a big run is on the cards.
