Turffontein Race 8 - Www.tab4racing.com Fm 78 Divided Handicap (F & M)

LITTLEMISSSPLENDID (2) is close to a win after a sequence of strong results, the latest when third over 2400m at Vaal. Key runner who should feature in the finish. BACK FROM WAR (1) finished fifth two runs back then did well last start but found a couple better over 2000m at Vaal, beaten only 2 lengths. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. OPEN SESAME (4) finished 1.75 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1600m at Vaal five weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Strong top-three chance. FALCONFLY (10) was a real eye-catcher last start, coming from the tail over 1800m at Vaal to finish half a length from the winner in second. Has been in the money at all three starts this preparation, including a win. Best form too good to ignore.

The race before that 3rd of 10 at Vaal on January 27 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Libeccio carrying 59.5kg at $7. Solid run last time and is a strong winning hope again.

Resuming after a break of six months. Finished off last preparation second last of 11 at Vaal August 28 over 1800m, 8 len behind Kiss Of Fire carrying 52kg at $21. First up last campaign third of 11 at this track March 20 over 2000m, 2.5 len behind Teo Torriatte with 50.0kg at $67. Unlikely to trouble the top few.
