LOVABLE is an attractive betting proposition after an eye-catching debut 4th over the same track and trip against male opposition in a lucrative maiden race that produced several subsequent winners. She would have come on appreciably with the benefit of the outing so it should pay to follow her progress. POWER OF PEARLS, SKY PILOT and HAMMER BLOW have the form and experience to trouble the selection. TROMBOLINES, TERRENCE, MASTER BUDDY and gelded SCENTED PATH are others likely to improve after satisfactory introductions. Watch the betting on newcomer TRACKSUIT DAVE.

12 LOVABLE La pouliche de Sean Tarry a pris une encourageante quatrième place en débutant le 29 novembre sur cet hippodrome. Pilotée par Keagan De Melo, elle tentera d'ouvrir son palmarès dès ce samedi sur les 1.200 mètres de Turffontein. Un coup de poker payant pour les Ze's passionnés par le galop en Afrique du Sud.
