LEG 2 HIGHVELD WINTER SERIES 8 JUNE MR 74 HANDICAP 1400m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 20) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a strong pace headed by Fostinovo, Dylan's Champ and Cars Big As Bars. PAUL REVERE (3) only finished eighth of 11 over 1400m at Turffontein Standside last start after finishing second of seven two runs back. Looks well placed here to return to form. KING OF NUMBER (2) is racing in good form. He has won twice and finished second once from five starts over this distance. Apprentice Girish Dookhit takes 4kgs off his back which will assist his cause. FOSTINOVO (1) returns from a spell. He takes a drop in class and if not in need of the run, he should give a good account of himself. MYSTIC VISION (10) stayed on well when third over 1600m on this course last time. He is a maiden taking on winners, but if finding the form of his penultimate run should be finishing in the money.
