GOING: G

SUMMER CUP 29 NOVEMBER FM 103 DIVIDED HANDICAP 1160m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 21)    

Strong tempo assured with Poblano, Komati River and Salenio Peninsula rolling to the front. JUST BE LEKKER (1) was narrowly beaten at her latest appearance at this track over 1400m nine weeks ago. Capable of playing a major role. POBLANO (2) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1000m at Turffontein Inside. Has found a suitable race. FASTNET FILLY (4) finished a nose away from the winner in second last start at Scottsville over 1100m Form over this journey is strong, boasting three wins from five starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Should be involved in the finish. JUST THE TWO OF US (5) improved sharply last time out to score by 1.1 lengths over 1200m at Vaal a month ago. Well placed to feature in the finish again.
