TSOGO SUN SPRINT (Grade 1) - Could end feature race day on a high with MOOFEED

TSOGO SUN SPRINT (Grade 1) - Could end feature race day on a high with MOOFEED

This should be a very good sprint race and there are some classy individuals that will be racing for R1 000 000.

Another Mike De Kock runner with a feature racing winning chance on the race card is MOOFEED. He has been racing against some fairly strong fields. In thirteen starts he has finished first and second on five occasions each. Last time he was slow away but did move up smartly late. If he can produce that good finish again, then he could finish better than his last four seconds. He is not likely to have his own way but rates a fair chance. He is not a confident choice.

BARBOSA won comfortably on his comeback run last time. A win after a nine month break by over two lengths is very good and he has to warrant the utmost respect. He could be an even fitter proposition this afternoon and is one to take seriously.

ASHTON PARK hasn't won for a long time but may be better suited to further. He has been losing ground at the start and that could be fatal in a sprint. This will be his first appearance at the track but one has to respect the yard and jockey.

GULF STORM has won his last two, both with well timed late runs. If he can reproduce those two runs then he could be in the shake up. His record over this distance shows six wins from ten starts. Must not be ignored in any type of bet.

A feature race day would be out of character were trainer Sean Tarry not to win at least one of them! His best chance could come in the form of BICHETTE who pulverized a field that contained PEJ, who won the other day at Greyville by as many as seven lengths. She is an improving filly and is not to be taken lightly. She has won over distances either side of today's distance.

Another one not to be ignored is CAPTAIN OF ALL. He is totally inconsistent but on his day has the class to win. He is unbeaten over the distance (4 from 4).

1st - MOOFEED (9); 2nd - BARBOSA (8); 3rd - ASHTON PARK (3); 4th - GULF STORM (2); 5th - BICHETTE (5)
