GOING:

BETWAY MR 86 HANDICAP 2000m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 25)    

Keen exchange early on with My Golly Molly and No Place Like Home pressing hard while Spin Doctor kicks up along the fence. HAROLD THE DUKE (12) was not disgraced against stronger company over 2400m on this course last time. He has won once, finished second once and third twice from six starts on this course. With luck in the running, he can notch up his fourth-career victory. NO PLACE LIKE HOME (3) ran on well when second of seven over this course and distance last time. Richard Fourie retains the ride and if jumping on level terms, he can pose a threat. PREVALENCE (5) just won his last start over 1400m on this course. He is in a good space and if getting away to a clean start, he can repeat the dose. EL REY VIENE (8) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at this track when finishing fourth of seven. Best efforts measure up and he is worth including in combinations.
