GOING:

WSB SLOTS WITH THE BEST D STAKES 1000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 29)    

Slick pace with Arverni Princess finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. ARVERNI PRINCESS (2) finished second at Greyville two runs back but was less effective last time over 1000m at Turffontein Standside, finishing 7 lengths back in sixth. Very good at the course and distance. Deserves another chance. PROFESSOR LUPIN (4) saluted at Greyville All Weather two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when fourth over 1200m at Greyville All Weather, beaten 1.75 lengths. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TRAFALGAR SQUARE (9) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1000m at Greyville after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. JANE'S VISION (6) turned in a fine effort to score by a neck at this track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
