GOING:

#YOUCANBETONUS! MR 88 HANDICAP 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 17)    

Good pace from Chieftain's Shield, Dark Silver and Tintin and they'll have company. TINTIN (1) was well in commission last start over 1600m at this track when second, beaten 2 lengths. Hard to knock the record of Craig Zackey when aboard; yet to miss the frame including two wins. Should be in the finish. ARIOVISTUS (3) got the prize two runs ago at Vaal. Couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 2000m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. DARK SILVER (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1600m at this track. Worth noting Calvin Habib goes aboard. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. STREISAND (2) scored two back at this track but was below her best last time when sixth over 1450m at Turffontein Inside. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
