FOR HOSPITALITY BOOKINGS CALL 011 681 1796 FM 92 HANDICAP 1800m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 25)    

Pace only fair with Duchess Of Paloma rolling to the lead ahead of Teo Torriatte and Free In Seattle. DUCHESS OF PALOMA (3) is a promising filly who has won three of last four. Unbeaten course and distance and expected to go close again. ART NOUVEAU (5) should be at peak after three runs back and going better than form suggests. Course and distance winner who will be hard to run down. AZALEAS FOR ALL (7) is long overdue placing three of last four. Goes well course and distance and gets chance. FREE IN SEATTLE (2) is mixing form but has a win and six minors from eight tries course and distance so rarely out of the frame. Can do a lot better than that last run.
