WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY MAIDEN PLATE 1300m

Track: STANDARD      

Speed should be right on over the 1300m journey. PALANCAR (1) is better than his last start run over 1200m at Kenilworth would suggest. He is having his first run for the Cliffie Miller stable. He jumps from a good draw of three and if taking to the surface, he may be the one to beat in this field. FIZZLY BUBBLY (2) ran on well when second of eight over 1600m on this course last time. It must be noted that the winner of that race has come out and won again since. Has solid each-way claims. ICED MARMALADE (8) finished third on debut and returns from a 23-week spell during which time she would have strengthened up. Fresh-up has to be respected. MIO DESTINO (6) is having his third run this prep. He has scope and gets the tongue-tie fitted for the first time. From pole position, he can finish in the top-three.
