4RACING WELCOMES YOU MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 27)    

Fast pace assured with Lets Play Poker, Chieftain's Shield and Peak Predator leading the charge. LETS PLAY POKER (1) has been in the money six times including first-up last start on October 19 when third over 1000m at this track. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this circuit. Has the ability to take this out. DWIGHT EISENHOWER (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1000m at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. BUSSTOPINHOUNSLOW (6) finished 3.5 lengths back in fifth over 1000m at Vaal at the latest appearance just a week ago. Finds a nice race and can make amends. KWAGGA BLITZ (8) was beaten 1.75 lengths into second at Vaal two starts ago then finished 6 lengths from the winner in fourth last time at this track. Has good early pace. This looks a nice race for him.
