GOING:

#YOUCANBETONUS! FM 101 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1160m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 15)    

Plenty of pace on show, headed by Precocious, Komati River and A Bit Of Class. PRECOCIOUS (1) boasts a strong record and hasn't raced since finishing second over 1000m at Vaal on March 28. The first-up credentials are sound so she is expected to go very well. VALENTINA BALDUCCI (4) resumes after a break of five-and-a-half months. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1160m at this track. Has found the right race to kick off the campaign. LOST FOR WORDS (10) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth when resuming last time out at Vaal over 1200m. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from four starts. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be competitive. UNITED OFFER (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Vaal, beaten 5.5 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.
