4:30am - JHB SYNDICATIONS HANDICAP | 1800m | | i

One of the better races on the day, an 1800m race at BM 88 level. Early speed from WHITE BOOTS out wide, with any of ZOURKHAN, DR DRILL, VELADERO and DALMATIA PRINCE capable of joining in. The tempo expected to be FAIR to STEADY. DR DRILL has a rapid turn-of-foot and won well last start, but the testing conditions is some question for a horse so dynamic, there isn't much wet form to go off and his conformation gives no clue. Other chances include DALMATIA PRINCE (wet 1800m suits), WHITE BOOTS, MONGOLIAN WOLF and WU GOK, who is just about in career best form if he can handle the step back to 1800m. [updated 8:29am]
