RACING240 MR 66 HANDICAP 2000m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 19) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo likely from Itsnowornever and Circle Of Grace. STOP THE TRAFFIC (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2600m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. COVER CHARGE (4) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.3 lengths at this track. Has a decent record at this track with one win and two minor placings. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. ITSNOWORNEVER (1) is backing up nine days after finishing ninth over 2000m at Turffontein Standside. No surprise to see him back in form this time. RED SPARROW (2) finished 11 lengths back in ninth over 1600m at Turffontein Standside at the latest appearance just nine days ago. Well placed to make amends.
