WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1200m Track: GOOD Clear (Max: 18) |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Good early pressure anticipated with a large representation of unraced runners. STAR OF ELENA (9) should have finished closer to the winner last time as she hung over the final 350m. Her penultimate run when second over 1400m on the polytrack, catches the eye. She has racing experience on her side and if Craig Zackey is able to keep her on a straight line, she should be hard to beat. WILD FIG (8) is an unraced son of Fire Away from the Alan Greeff stable with Richard Fourie in the saddle. If not in need of this outing, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances. YOU'RE SO SPECIAL (11) ran a good race on debut over this course and distance. She should have finished closer to the winner as she hung over the final 400m. She would have come on from the run and with the natural improvement that is expected, she should be competitive. CASINO KING (2) is better than his last start run would suggest. If finding the form of his penultimate run, he should be figuring in the finish.
