IMPRESSIVE (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.75 lengths away in second over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Best figures measure up. Close to a win and gets chance. LUCKY AWESOME (3) is on debut for the Sean Tarry stable. Two-year-old colt by One World from Secret Star. Bold showing expected. Watch betting. LIFE'S TREASURES (7) ran a better race last start at her second appearance, finishing fourth over 1000m at this track. Fitter and among the chances.
