GOING: G

BETWAY MR 66 HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 28)    

Blistering early pace from Commander Of All, After Hours and Together Again taking each other on, with a few others in keen pursuit. COMMANDER OF ALL (1) has decent form lines since winning his maiden over 1000m on this course. He took on stronger rivals n his last start and drops back in class. He runs well for Kabelo Matsunyane and can return to winning form. AFTER HOURS (2) is better than his last start run would suggest as he was reported to be not striding out. Has each-way claims and is worth another chance. INAFIX (8) ran a fair race over 1000m last time when finishing fifth. He was given a gun ride when winning his penultimate start over 1100m. If putting his best foot forward, he should be involved in the fight to the finish. DANCING DORA (4) has eight placings from 15 outings this prep and last start finished third of seven over 1200m at Turffontein Inside when well supported. Has top-three claims.
