VARSFONTEIN STUD OPEN MAIDEN 1600m Track: GOOD Clouds (Max: 22) |

---|---|---|---|---|
They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. SAINT BRIGID (11) has placed in her last three starts, including last time out when finishing second of 11 over 1600m at this track. It must be noted that the winner of that race has come out and won again since. She does have a tough gate to overcome but Aldo Domeyer will give her all the necessary assistance needed from the saddle. Rates highly. SANSA STARK (3) ran a good race when finishing second of nine in her last start over 1800m on this course. Richard Fourie retains the ride and in her third run this prep should be figuring in the finish. BLIND FAITH (4) ran second last start but should have finished closer to the winner as she had to change ground with 400m to run. With luck in the running she should be finishing in the money once again. GREEN ISLE (1) finished third of 11 last time over 1600m at this track in her third run this prep. Should be cherry ripe fitness wise and from the inside gate should get a soft trip in the running. Well worth a second look in this line-up.
