Turffontein Race 7 - Betway Swallow Stakes (Listed) (3 Year-Old Fillies)
ALMOND SEA (2) has very good consistent form lines to her credit. She fought on when second over 1000m on this course last time. She is having her peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and the combination will be hard to hold out. RODEO DRIVE (3) finished sixth in the same race behind the top choice last time. She needed that run and on the ability that she has already shown, she can figure in the top 3 this time. SORCERESS SUPREME (4) was an easy winner in her last start over 1200m at the Vaal. She showed good speed, found another kick, and drew clear of the opposition. She is in a good space and should be hard to peg back again. POINTER (5) is lightly raced with good form lines to her credit. She has won twice and finished second twice from as many starts here over this distance. If not in need of this outing, she should give a good account of herself. Include in all combinations.

Useful filly. Comes off a 49 day let-up. Last start 10th of 16 at this track in G3 on November 30 over 1160m, 6 len behind Chasing Happiness carrying 52.5kg at $11. The run before that 4th of 9 at this track in the G3 Starling Stakes on November 2 over 1400m, 6 len behind Fatal Flaw with 58kg at $13.50. Can do a lot better than that last run.
