WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: AW      

Expecting a very strong tempo with lots of early pressure, predominantly from King Of Queen, Hat Hot Hat and Regazzo Grande. KING OF QUEEN (1) has finished second in his last three starts. He raced from a handy position last time, moved up but was outrun late It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. Rates highly. SWEET AND TRUE (10) has produced two good efforts to date. He should have finished closer than third time as he was inconvenienced at the 400m mark. If seeing out the 1400m, he should be fighting out the finish. MISTER SPEAKER (9) was well-beaten into fifth last time. Has the talent to produce a better result. REGAZZO GRANDE (3) returned from a spell last start and finished ninth of 12 over 1600m at this track. Fitter this time and jumping from an inside draw should run a place.
