WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1400m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 24) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Plenty of early pace on show, particularly from Deco Var, King's Sailor and Sakurajima. SAKURAJIMA (4) has been in the market at his recent starts but yet to break through, the latest when finishing fourth at Turffontein Inside. Should be further improved and rates well as a leading chance. UNION ROSE (5) has fair form lines to his name. The manner in which he finished off his penultimate run suggests that he will like the rise to 1400m. If getting away to a clean start, he should be involved at the finish. WALT WHITMAN (6) should have finished closer to the winner last time as he had to be steadied at the 500m mark. He is a progressive type and with luck in the running he should be figuring in the finish. DONNY'S BOY (2) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Gavin Smith. By Global View from Precious Pansy. Worth watching for a betting push.
