WELCOME TO NELSON MANDELA BAY MAIDEN PLATE 1300m Track: STANDARD |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Anticipating a genuine tempo over the 1300m journey. RUNGSTEDLAND (5) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1200m at Fairview. Rates on top and is a great chance to break through. ROCKING IN RIO (3) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1200m at this track. Ready to find winning form. J LORDI (2) is a six-start maiden who finished fourth after being prominent at the turn at his most recent outing over 1200m at Fairview. Worth including in this suitable contest. AMERICAN PETAL (6) closed last prep nine weeks ago when she finished eighth over 1300m at this track. Solid top-three hope.
