4RACING WISHES THE LADIES HAPPY WOMENS DAY MAIDEN PLATE 1160m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 16)    

Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a genuine tempo. CLEVER TREVOR (3) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1160m at this track in a tougher race. Promising type with improvement to come so he shouldn't be a maiden for long. MIDNIGHT FLYER (5) is on debut for the Lucky Houdalakis stable. Three-year-old gelding by What A Winter from Fly. Leading prospect on face value, with betting holding the key. ACTUARY (2) is on debut for the J A Janse Van Vuuren stable. Three-year-old gelding by Futura from Klever Kathy. Should acquit himself well. Watch for a positive market lead. TRIP TO PEACE (7) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role.
