WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY WORK RIDERS MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 16)    

Expecting a very strong tempo with lots of early pressure, predominantly from And Action, Igugulethu and War Sword. IGUGULETHU (2) is having his first run from the Gavin Smith stable. He was in need of his last run over 1200m at Kenilworth last start. He drops back in distance to 1000m and racing in a fitter state should be figuring in the finish. AND ACTION (1) ran a fair race when finishing third of seven over 1100m last start. Jumping from a handy gate of four has to be respected. PONTE VECCHIO (8) ran a good race when finishing third of 10 over 1100m on this course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She is in a good space and should give the males a decent run for their money. BELLA ATTRICE (6) is a genuine type who has recorded top five finishes at her past 13 outings including a last start close-up fourth of 10 at this track. Comes here with definite place claims.
