HAPPY FATHER'S DAY JUVENILE PLATE 1160m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 15)    

A hot tempo is expected with plenty of speed engaged. JAN VAN GOYEN (2) was an easy winner on debut over this course and distance. He raced from just off the pace, showed a good turn of foot and won with plenty in hand. She found betting support that day which suggests that he was showing good work at home. He could be anything and can remain unbeaten. GOT THE FEELING (1) produced a strong finish when winning on debut over 1200m at the Vaal last night. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. Muzi Yeni rides and the combination merit healthy respect. SHADOWFAX (5) flew home to finish second over this course and distance on debut last start. He would have gained from the experience. Richard Fourie is booked to ride and he should make the natural improvement needed. NYAKA NYAKA (3) was disappointing over 1000m at the Vaal last time when finishing seventh. He won his penultimate outing over 1000m on the Inside course. If putting his best foot forward should be figuring in the finish.
