GOING: N

WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY OPEN MAIDEN 2200m

Track: AW      

Mont Tremblant, Pick A Pomodoro and Two For The Boys to roll forward and set up a solid tempo. Moderate distance maiden. FORT IMPREZA (3) has been off best last two over shorter distances but did run well three back over 2000m when placed. Rates highly here on that figure and expected to improve sharply. GREY WARRIOR (5) is building to a win and not disgraced only try this trip. Improving colt worth another chance. BUGLE (6) has been winding up well the last two and looks suited stepping out in journey now. Gets chance to break through. PICK A POMODORO (2) has been mixing form but has ability and placed 3/5 here. Can do much better.
