GOING:

WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY MAIDEN PLATE 1800m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 28) |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Hot tempo expected with Khichdi, Seafarer and Bomber Bay heading the charge. CLOUDS CLEARING (11) has been knocking on the door with placings at two of last three. First try this trip but expected to go close. SEAFARER (9) is an improver who has started just twice and beaten for speed. Can improve sharply getting out in journey now. GREY WARRIOR (7) stepped straight from 1400m to 2200m last time and was safely held. Fitter for it and can bounce back. OUTBACK EXPRESS (6) has a few placings around this journey already and gets chance to get off the mark.
