ANTHONY JOANNIDES MAIDEN PLATE 1200m Track: GOOD Clouds (Max: 30) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Fast pace assured with Berriesofthestraw, Jilted and Todoque leading the charge. BLIZZARD SNOW (8) showed good speed over this distance at the Vaal last time but was caught late and finished second. She is a progressive type and Gavin Lerena may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her where it matters most. JILTED (4) should have finished closer to the winner last time as she hung in the final 300m. Muzi Yeni is booked to ride and they are the main threat to the top pick. WEARINGOFTHEGREEN (3) is an unraced daughter of Kingman from the Mike de Kock stable with Kabelo Matsunyane booked to ride. She was due to run last week Saturday but was withdrawn at the start. The betting market will be the best guide with regard to her chances. TODOQUE (5) is better than her last start as she was reported to be not striding out. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she should finish in the placings. Each way value.
