GOING:

WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY OPEN MAIDEN 1200m

Track: STANDARD      

Lady Of Fate and Mme Huntress all possess good speed. SOUNDSOFSYMPHONIES (1) is returning from a spell of three months. Finished eighth at Kenilworth over 1200m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Kelly Mitchley. Resuming in much easier company and makes plenty of appeal in the new surrounds. ALLEYAH'S ROCKET (7) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1000m at this track, beaten only 1.3 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. GEORGE REX (3) back from a brief spell and tackles a synthetic track for the first time. Opened last prep with a fifth at Durbanville over 1600m. Well placed to make a bright return. LADY OF FATE (6) has speed and will roll forward. Best figures stack up.
