Race Analysis
FUTURE DATE (3) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1m1f at Turffontein Standside, beaten only 0. 8 lengths. The engagement of Muzi Yeni is noteworthy. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. AZALEAS FOR ALL (8) gets out over more ground. On the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a sixth over 1m at Vaal. Well placed and gets her chance to break through. FREE IN SEATTLE (2) finished 4 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1m1f at Turffontein Standside three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be competitive. KEY WORKER (4) was beaten 6 lengths into fourth in a 1m4f contest at Turffontein Standside five-and-a-half weeks ago. Better than recent efforts suggest.
