SAF - TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE   08 Jun 2025
 
GOING: G

4RACING EGOLI MILE 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 17)    

Strong pace with Confederate, Choisaanada and Dance King pushing forward, closely attended by Ichacha and Pumpkin Pie. CONFEDERATE (1) has top consistent form lines to his credit. He is unbeaten from two starts over this course and distance and fresh-up from a spell will be looking to keep that record intact. LEGEND OF ARTHUR (2) turned in a modest performance when finishing 12th last time out over 1400m at this track after a win at this track at the previous outing. Has each-way claims. KAMENSKY (3) is a winner of his last two starts over this course and distance. He is in a good space and can't be ignored. PUMPKIN PIE (7) is a speedy gelding who won here last start when resuming from a spell. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Hs won second-up previously and looks hard to beat.
