Race Tip

BAD MEDICINE (6) is still a maiden after six runs. Was in the market last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 1m2f at Turffontein Standside. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. CASUS BELLI (7) finished 7 lengths away in fifth last time out over 7¼f at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will prove tough to beat. SANTIAGO'S PRIDE (5) is backing up a week after finishing ninth over 1m1f at this track. Well placed to turn things around. THE MERCIFUL (2) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1m2f at Turffontein Standside, finishing 9 lengths back in seventh. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
