THE INDEPENDENT ON SATURDAY SPORTS MAIDEN PLATE 1800m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 27) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Abundant early pace from the speedy trio of Torix Night, Uncle Lucky and Hoodwinked. MAGMA MAGIC (4) is better than his last start run would suggest. The manner in which he finishes off his races suggests that he will like the rise to 1800m. It is encouraging that Sean Veale is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. In this line-up he can shed his maiden tag. HOODWINKED (3) has produced two good runs to date. He stayed on well when fourth over 1600m last time. He is a progressive type and he should go close to winning. BASIE RAAKVAT (7) has finished second in his last two starts on this course. He drops to 1800m and will be doing his best work at the finish. Rates well as a main danger. RAINBOW OF ROSES (5) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at her latest appearance over 2300m at this track. Suited in this line up and has place claims.
