WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY OPEN MAIDEN 1200m Track: AW |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo primarily from Five Star Magic, Priceless Treasure and Iconic Winter over Engelandpark and Midnight Music. ICONIC WINTER (1) hasn't been far away placing 3/6 so far but was a little disappointing as a heavily bet favourite last time. Leading rider goes on and looks well placed here. Gets chance to atone. OCEAN FLAME (4) was beaten a nose here last time and given a let-up since. Top chance if runs to latest. PRICELESS TREASURE (5) returned from a long break over 1300m here with a eye-catching second. Kept fresh again since and looks a leading player again. FIVE STAR MAGIC (6) wasn't far off maiden success before a very long break. Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
