SAF - TURFFONTEIN INSIDE   07 Sep 2024
 
GOING: G

BETWAY MR 74 HANDICAP 1450m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 24)   Zero on the back straight and bend with a 2m spur at the 500m mark  

Expecting a very strong tempo with lots of early pressure, predominantly from Willow Express, Force De Dieu and Golden Pavilion. GOLDEN PAVILION (3) was a tad disappointing when finishing fifth over 1400m here on the Standside course last start. It must be noted that the form of that race has since been franked. He takes a slight drop in class and Gavin Lerena may be able to get the best out of him where it matters most. MOONLIGHT TRADER (6) finished 2 lengths behind the top pick in sixth place last time out and should have finished a lot closer that day. His form prior was building and he can figure in the finish this time. Each way. COMING IN HOT (4) was an easy winner of his last start over 1200m on this course and doesn't mind some cut in the ground. He is in a good space right now and can go back-to-back. SECRET RECIPE (5) needed her fresh-up run over 1600m on the poly track. She will strip much fitter and is expected to improve quickly. Include in all combinations.
