TAKE A BET WINA NUMBA NUMBA MAIDEN HANDICAP 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 28)    

Theres A Light, Remains Of The Day and Sovereigns Call to match motors but there will be plenty of pressure from other quarters. THERES A LIGHT (1) was slightly disappointing in his last start over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course. He should enjoy the drop to 1200m and with Gavin Lerena in the saddle can atone. SOVEREIGNS CALL (3) stayed on well when fourth of eight in his last start over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course. Has each-way claims in this line-up. THE NAVY LARK (5) could only manage to finish fourth of eight last start over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Worth plenty of thought. Hard to fault if at her best. REMAINS OF THE DAY (2) resumes from a spell. At the last run before the layoff he finished eighth over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Rates highly and is worth a second look.
