WWW.TAB.CO.ZA FM 74 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1600m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 30) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo likely with Special Star and Together Again prominent. SPECIAL STAR (4) is back from a spell of four months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1800m contest at Turffontein Inside by 2.5 lengths. First try here but is a progressive type who will take catching fresh. OPERA FAN (8) is overdue for another win and has placed 2/3 this circuit. Best form should see her measure right up. PRETTY ANALIA (7) has been thereabouts last few runs in stiffer company. Should go well in this line up and gets chance to find winning form. AMAZON QUEEN (6) is a progressive type who won only try this course and distance. Fitter and expecting a forward showing.
