GOING: GS

TAB TELEBET 0861 000 822 FM 75 DIVIDED HANDICAP 2000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 19)    

Genuine tempo with a few of these capable of running them along. SAND SCRIPT (3) recorded a strong maiden win over 1700m at Vaal last time, getting there by 3 lengths. Lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and she is likely to feature in the finish again. SILVER FLARE (8) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in, most recently when second over 1800m at Turffontein Inside. Well placed out to a longer trip now. Ready to peak. FUTURE GAMBLE (5) was a determined winner last time at Vaal, scoring by a head over this distance. Down in the weights this time so she is one of the main contenders. SPECIAL STAR (1) finished third last start over 1800m at Vaal, beaten 1.1 lengths. Should be peaking. In the right race and is worth serious consideration.
