CONGRATULATIONS CRAIG ZACKEY ON YOUR JULY DAY WINNER MAIDEN PLATE 1160m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 17)    

A strong tempo is assured with the first starters applying pressure to the recognised on-pacers Iconic Winter and Erebus. ICONIC WINTER (2) is better than her last start run over 1000m on this course would suggest. Her debut effort when third over this course and distance catches the eye. She will strip a much fitter horse and may find herself in the winner's enclosure. BABETTE'S FEAST (3) is an unraced daughter of Hawwaam from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable with Callan Murray booked to ride. If not too green, she should start her career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to her chances. HEAVENLY GOOD (7) is a daughter of Heavenly Blue from the Tony Peter stable with Gavin Lerena in the saddle. If not in need of the run, she should give a good account of herself. COMIC ARTIST (4) is on debut. Trained by Fabian Habib and with S'manga Khumalo in the saddle is well worth considering.
