NUM TIME COMMENT
1 12:30 WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY JUVENILE PLATE 1400m
CASPERITA (1) is a talented filly who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 5 lengths behind Red Spice over 1200m in Group 3 grade at Kenilworth. Not disgraced in stakes class latest. Huge class drop and expected to bounce back. FLEET RETURN (2) is a two-year-old colt by Admiral Kitten out of Georgeous Gaby on debut for the Kelly Mitchley stable. Looks set to run well. Betting holds the key. OBSIDIAN STAR (3) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1200m at Fairview, scoring by half a length. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Can go on with it. THE JUDGE (4) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage seventh last start, beaten 12 lengths over 1200m at Fairview. Expected to cross from wide out. Can do better. Solid top-three hope.
2 01:05 WWW.TAB4RACING.COM OPEN MAIDEN 1000m
HEY DIDDLE DIDDLE (2) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 1000m at Scottsville. First try on the all weather and should be right in the finish. DELAROCHE (3) is a eight-start maiden who could only manage to finish tenth at her latest appearance over 1400m at Fairview. Ran very well only try here two back. Expected to finish much closer. LOVELY DANCER (9) is a five-start maiden who finished sixth at her most recent outing over 1100m at Kenilworth. First start on the all weather. Deserves another chance.

MAKE BELIEVE (2) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when second over 1200m at this track 11 weeks ago which was the only run of that prep. Has never been out of the placings first up from three tries. Gareth Wright sticks. Expecting a bold showing. DETAILED FORECAST (5) is having her first run since winning by 1.2 lengths seven weeks ago over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Has transferred to the Alan Greeff stable over the break. Likely to play a major role. ICY LANCASTER (4) was last at the races when she finished sixth over 1200m at Greyville All Weather on November 18. Now under the care of new trainer Kelly Mitchley. Has to be respected. JET SET RUN (3) was safely held when ninth last time out over 1000m at Fairview, beaten 9 lengths, after a win at Fairview at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.

Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1600m at Fairview. Long time maiden but an inside draw is a big advantage. Winning prospects.
