|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Hot tempo expected with Blind Ambition, Last Car To Pass and Stormy Sunday heading the charge. BLIND AMBITION (1) produced a solid run to finish second last start over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. That followed a win at Turffontein Inside the start prior. Looks well placed to go one better. MOUNTAIN HIGH (2) was well held when fifth last time out over 2000m at Turffontein Standside. That followed a win at Turffontein Standside at the previous outing as the odds-on favourite. Has had two runs at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Finds a more suitable contest and can return to winning form. ROAMING SPIRIT (6) finished seventh of 10 last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Nicely placed and is worth another chance. SHEETS AND GOGGLES (10) was safely held when 11th last time out over 1100m at Turffontein Standside, after a win at Turffontein Standside at the previous outing. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
