GOING: GS

RACEHORSE OWNERS ASSOCIATION FM 80 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1400m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 23)    

Expecting a strong tempo, predominantly from Spirited Girl, Kisshoten and Pearl In Her Crown. TANA MAREE (9) won here last start as the hot favourite over 1200m. Racing well this prep and can go back-to-back. SAIGON SUZIE (8) returned from a spell last start and finished fifth of seven over 1200m at this track. Fitter and rates well as a leading chance. PEARL IN HER CROWN (5) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the prep and finished third over 1800m at Turffontein Inside after being prominent at the turn. Faces an easier line-up and is ready to find winning form. PRINCESS ILARIA (6) won over 1600m last time out and looks well placed in this line-up to complete her hat-trick.
