GOING: N

WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1200m

Track: AW     3m out at the 421m mark  

Expecting the youngsters to go keenly from barrier rise. FIRE ALARM (7) is an unraced daughter of Fire Away from the Alan Greeff stable and has stable jockey Richard Fourie in the saddle. If not too green in the running she should start her career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to her chances. CAN'T SAY NO (6) made the expected natural improvement when second of seven in her last start over this distance on the turf after having finished fourth of seven two starts back when on debut. She is a progressive type and if not too green she looks well placed to go one better. GOLDEN LINK (4) has produced two fair efforts to date. He was reported to have choked up last time when finishing third of 11 which didn't help his winning chances. From the inside gate and in a fitter chance is in the mix. MAGICAL RIVER (8) stayed on well when third of eight over 1000m on the turf last time. She gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which should keep her mind on the task at hand. Has solid each-way claims.
