Turffontein Race 6

Dave Bullock, Douglas Roper, Simon Rahilly, Lawrence Riley Mr 106 Handicap

Stake: $15,358

ONE FELL SWOOP (7) closed off her last race here strongly nearly 7 weeks ago when finishing runner-up by a neck, and is closing in on an overdue win. A good draw makes her the one to beat. DREAMLAND (1) stuck on gamely when finishing third here 3 weeks ago. He drops back to 1000m and can take this out. YAMADORI (8) fought on gamely to finish second on the inside course here a month ago. He was only beaten by a nose that day and likes to race on the pace. He has 3kg less to carry this time, and can see it through. COSMIC STAR (4) was sent for a spell after finishing second by a nose on this track in the spring. He comes to hand quickly and has top hoop S'Manga Khumalo in the saddle this time. Any market support is worth following.

Useful gelding. Comes here off a 30-day let-up. Most recently 2nd of 8 at Turffontein Inside on March 13 over 1000m, nose behind Taxi To The Moon with 60kg at $2.80. The run before that favourite; won by 0.5 len at this track February 15 over 1000m defeating Bob's Your Uncle carrying 58kg at $4.80. With a little improvement can take this out.
