WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY MAIDEN PLATE 1000m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 22) |

---|---|---|---|---|
Many of these step out for the first time so a frantic pace is likely early on over this sharp trip. SWEET CAKE (7) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 8/11/2024, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths over 1100m at Fairview All Weather. Expect her to play a major role. MISS PRIOR (8) finished third last time out over 1200m at Fairview All Weather, making it four career minor placings. Has a sound record here with two top-three finishes from three starts. Ideally placed to open her account. WINTER IN PARIS (10) is yet to break through but has been in the money two times including last start when third over 1000m at this track. Has a good record at this distance with two top-three results from three starts. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be competitive. AND ACTION (2) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1200m at Fairview All Weather. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
