|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a strong tempo, predominantly from Rodeo Drive, Rifle Queen and Green Diamond. GREEN DIAMOND (6) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1000m at this track. That was in the Grade 1 Computaform Sprint and ran very well over the sharper trip. Won only try course and distance. This easier and will go close. DESTINY OF FIRE (5) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a ninth at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 1.75 lengths last time out over 1450m at Vaal. Tougher race but will be strong late. CHROME TOURMALINE (4) ran sixth at her latest appearance over 1160m at this track, clocking in 3.5 lengths from the winner. Boasts a win and three minor placings from nine starts at this track and distance. Capable of playing a big role. PERFECT MIRACLE (10) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at Turffontein Inside two starts back then landed the prize by half a length as public elect last time out over 1160m at Group 3 level at this track. Progressive filly with a good record course and distance. Win chance.
