WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY OPEN MAIDEN 1200m Track: SOFT Clouds (Max: 27) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of pressure with Elusive Black, American Eagle and Bright Future leading the charge. THE ROARING ROCK (3) showed improvement when second over this distance on the polytrack last time. This is his first run for Alan Greeff and he gets the tongue-tie fitted. S'manga Khumalo rides and in this field, he can go one better. AMERICAN EAGLE (5) was running on when third over 1000m on this course last time. Has each-way claims. AWAY WITH RED (4) showed pace in a work riders race over 1000m last time, tried hard but found one too good on the day. Stable Jockey Luyolo Mxothwa steps into the saddle and if confirming his recent improvement, he should be involved in the fight to the finish. FLIGHT ENGINEER (7) tried hard when third over 1000m on the polytrack last time. He has finished second on this course previously. Muzi Yeni steps into the saddle and if putting his best foot forward, he should be competitive.
