Vaal Race 6 - Racing Today Fm 89 Divided Hcp (F & M)

APPARITION (7) Back after a spell. Ran well when 2nd last start at Turffontein and will appreciate the drop in weight. Will be positive in the run early. One of the major players. SAKURA HANAMI (4) First up today. Managed to come out on top by the slightest of margins last time at Turffontein and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Displays good tactical speed. Must respect. POWER OF PEARLS (5) First up. Game effort to win narrowly by 1/2L last run at Turffontein and will be well suited at the trip. Has shown early pace in races to date. Won't be far away. LOVE NOT WAR (8) In the money when 3rd last time here and has the ideal draw. Jockey Jacey Botes and trainer Stuart Pettigrew have shared plenty of success together. Gets some weight relief. Will be around the mark at odds.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a last of seven in a FM Benchmark 89 at this track, beaten five lengths by Tempranillo at long odds. The run prior was also plain, finishing fifth in a small FM Benchmark 91 at Turffontein Inside. She has won at this track and distance, but recent form leaves her with plenty to prove.

Dominant first-up winner at this track and distance, putting eight lengths on Angel's Oasis in a FM Benchmark 85 despite being unwanted in the market. That was a major turnaround from her previous well-held run, and she now comes here second-up with two wins from six starts at 1000m. Races handy enough to use that sprinting strength, and a repeat of the latest run makes her the horse to beat.

Comes off a sixth in an Open over 1200m at this track, beaten nine and a half lengths after being unwanted in the market. Her previous fifth at Turffontein Inside had more merit, finishing within two and a half lengths in FM Open grade. Back around 1000m she has placed twice from three tries, so she profiles as a place hope if she rebounds from the latest run.

Back from a three-month break after closing last campaign with a narrow NOV win over 1160m at Turffontein Standside, beating Trompe L'Oeil by just over half a length. She had also run second at Turffontein Inside the start prior, so the recent form reads well enough. The concern is this setup, with no placing from two starts at this venue and one unplaced try at 1000m.

Resumes after three months off having ended last campaign in good order, winning a FM Benchmark 74 at Turffontein Inside by half a length from Staggerwing. Two back she was third in a FM Benchmark 78, beaten two and a half lengths. Her 1000m record is very reliable, with two wins and three placings from five starts, making her a genuine each-way player fresh.

Back from a five-month break after a close third in a FM Benchmark 93 at this track, beaten just under a length by Versace Onthetrack. She had also run second at Turffontein Standside at big odds the start before. Her track-and-distance record is solid and the claim helps, but at eight years old she has to return near her best to threaten.

Returns after three months off with strong early credentials, having won on debut over this distance at Turffontein Standside before running second in a 2yo PLATE there, beaten just over a length by Nightshine. She was heavily backed into odds-on favouritism that day and has placed in both career starts. Lightly raced, proven at 1000m and open to further improvement fresh.

Was third behind Playing Trix at this track last start, but the eight-and-a-half-length margin shows she has ground to make up on that rival. Her previous second here was stronger, beaten a length and a half after firming notably from a bigger opening quote. With one win and three placings from four starts at 1000m, she remains a realistic place chance.

Finished fifth behind Playing Trix at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths at long odds in a FM Benchmark 85. That followed a surprise Benchmark 74 win at this venue, where she scored by a nose despite being unwanted in the market. She is proven at the track and distance, but the latest margin makes her hard to recommend strongly.
