GOING:

WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 18)    

Hot pace certain with Elusive Bomba, Mediterraneanflame and Tanzanite keen to take up the running. SOMBREUIL (7) from the Kelly Mitchley stable. Her last start is best ignored as she was reported to be distressed. Her effort when second over this course and distance three runs ago, catches the eye. Muzi Yeni rides and if putting her best foot forward, she should go close to taking this race out. TANZANITE (9) showed some signs of needing her debut effort over run over 1200m on this course last start. She would have gained from the experience and should make the natural improvement needed. NIGHT IN JAPAN (1) is better than her last start as the jockey reported something to be amiss in running. She drops to 1000m and on previous form, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest. FANTASY GIRL (3) is still a maiden after 19 starts. She gets the blinkers fitted and has place claims.
