GOING:

RACING TODAY FM 80 HANDICAP 1450m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 21)    

Plenty of pressure with Miss Fantastic, Southampton and Winds Of Grace leading the charge. WINDS OF GRACE (6) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.3 lengths over today's trip at Turffontein Inside. Yet to win but has placed 4/5 course and distance. Winner in similar grade last time. Big chance to go back-to-back. MISS FANTASTIC (7) steps up in trip after scoring last time by a head over 1200m at this track on May 21. Big weight drop and has upside so another big run is on the cards. PRINCESS KEIRA (1) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Turffontein Inside over 1450m. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. FAIR PROPOSAL (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
