BETWAY MAIDEN PLATE 1200m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 7) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Hot pace certain with Lychee, Winter In Paris and Sunfire keen to take up the running. WEARINGOFTHEGREEN (2) is an unraced daughter of Kingman from the Mike de Kock stable with Gavin Lerena in the saddle. She does not need to be a stable superstar to win in this field. If not too green, she should start her career on a positive note. The markets will be the best guide here. POPLAR PARK (8) ran a fair race on debut here over this trip. She found some betting support that day which suggests that she was doing some good work at home. With the natural improvement that is expected, she should be right in the finish this time. STROOPSOET (5) was her own worst enemy over 1450m last time as she raced too keenly in the early stages. The drop to 1200m should suit her well and if finding the form of her penultimate run, she can improve to finish in the placings. SUNFIRE (4) is better than her last start as she was reported to be not striding out. She gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which should keep her mind on the task at hand. Each way value in an even contest.
