TAB 4RACING APP MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1200m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 21)    

Plenty of first starters engaged which muddies the map a little. It is fair to assume a genuine tempo. CAPTAIN SELVIE (4) is on debut. She is from the Tony Peter stable and Muzi Yeni is booked to ride. If not in need of the run she should start her career on a positive note. OPEN SESAME (7) is a daughter of Futura from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable with Gavin Lerena in the saddle. If not too green in the running she should give a good account of herself. MISS NOVAX (5) is a daughter of Flower Alley from the Lucky Houdalakis stable with Craig Zackey riding. If not in need of the run she can place. BOLD ACTION (1) was in need of her debut effort over 1100m at Turffontein. She would have come on from the run and should make the natural improvement needed.
