Join the Social Squad Syndicate today www.socialsquad.co.za CLASS 4 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 23)    

Strong tempo primarily from Gorgeous Guy, Henry Harvey and Mighty Zambezi over Beamonesque and Moya Wa Laliga. WILD JUSTICE (18) is a promising colt who was good when placed in open class last time. Was unbeaten until then. Gets chance to atone. BEAMONESQUE (10) just missed in open class latest. Has good early speed and should take catching. MAPHAKA (7) has placed last four runs and bursting to win. Has a good record course and distance and expected to go close. FORTRESS OF FIRE (16) made a nice return when placed and is fitter again. Among the leading chances.
