GOING: G

MERRY MZANSI MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 27)    

A solid tempo on the cards with Bell Of Angelus heading them off. DOUBLE CAUSEWAY (7) ran on well for a solid fifth on debut and looks suited by the extra ground. Can improve and should give a good account. STAMPEDE AHEAD (8) was most disappointing latest on the all weather after a nice return. Back to the turf here and can atone. THAT'S ALL BROTHER (5) is close to a win and aided by the claim. Well placed to take this out. HAMMERHEAD (11) ran an improved run latest and with further upside can feature in the finish again.
