Turffontein Race 8 - Racing Today Novice Handicap

BOSUM BUDDY (1) stayed on well when third last time out. She has won once and finished third twice from as many starts over this distance. She will be running on and can return to winning form. HALCYON (3) has shown signs of needing his last two starts over 1000m. She will enjoy the rise to 1200m and he will be cherry-ripe. He is one of the leading chances. HEAVYLIESTHECROWN (4) was an easy winner on debut over this course and distance last start. She set the pace, found another kick and won with plenty left in the tank. She could be anything and can remain unbeaten. THERES A LIGHT (5) showed signs of a form return in his last start over 1400m on the Standside course. He has finished second in both his efforts over this course and distance. If confirming his recent improvement, he should be figuring in the finish.
