GOING: G

WWW.TAB4RACING.COM MAIDEN PLATE 1160m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 23)    

Strong early tempo over this journey looks a certainty. WHAT A LUCY (2) produced an encouraging comeback run over 1000m on the Vaal Classic course when finishing third of 11. She would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. She meets the right field and may find herself in the winner's enclosure. INTRO (9) was disappointing in her last start over this course and distance. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she should be involved at the finish. ICE CAP (3) ran a fair race in her last start over 1400m at the Vaal. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. Piere Strydom may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her when it matters most. FOLLOW THE SUN (4) produced three fair efforts before given a spell. She jumps from pole position and if not in need of the run she can finish in the money.
