The high-riding combination of Turffontein trainer Paul Peter and jockey Warren Kennedy lauded the Narrow Creek Stud-bred 3yo, who produced what is probably her finest performance to date. Giving kilo's to some decent older fillies, Big Burn (3-1) cruised a length off the pace before galloping powerfully into the lead at the 300m, drawing clear to…

At Turffontein on Saturday Safe Passage will continue his quest to conquer the three races when he lines up in the Gr1 World Sports Betting SA Classic over 1800m on the Standside track.
