GOING: GS

CAPE RACING SALES MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: SOFT   Clear (Max: 17)    

Always plenty of early pressure in sprint races such as this with a large number of first starters. MANEKI NEKO (3) has finished second in his last two starts over this distance. He stayed on well at the finish last time but found one too good on the day. He meets the right field and with four placings from his last four starts may be rewarded for consistency. MASTER INCOLOR (4) is an unraced son of Master Of My Fate from the Piet Steyn stable with Grant van Niekerk in the saddle. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances. WALK WITH ME (2) resumes from a spell. Could only manage to finish sixth of 11 here last start over 1400m at this track. Expecting a forward showing. PHIL THE FLUTER (7) is a well-related two-year-old colt who is on debut. Rates well here on profile and bold showing expected.
