NEXT TURFFONTEIN RACEMEETING SATURDAY 23 NOVEMBER FM 80 HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 25) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Hot tempo expected with Kissing Machine, Quantum and Just Be Nice heading the charge. MISS LIA (5) won her last start over 1200m at Vaal. Nice weight drop so she is a leading contender again. PALACE DANCER (8) has been in good form, scoring three back at Vaal then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second over 1450m at Turffontein Inside. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. GREENHOUSE (10) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1450m at Vaal. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Jumps from a wide draw but she cannot be underestimated. KISSING MACHINE (1) is back after a break of six-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Looks one of the genuine chances in the race.
