ONLINE FORM GUIDE www.gallop.co.za OPEN MAIDEN 1600m

Track: AW   Clear (Max: 21)    

Keen speed battle, with Trick Or Tequila, Summer Lightning and Lightningfork prominent. ACT OF GRACE (3) has shown good improvement in each of her outings to date. She was touched off when second over 1400m on the turf last time. She jumps from a good draw and can go one better. CARNARVON 2) has fair form lines to his credit. It must be noted that the horse that finished second in his last outing has come out and won since. He steps up to 1600m and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he should be hard to roll. GRIPEN (9) should have finished closer against winners last time as he was switched at the 450m mark. Back in maiden company he should be involved in the fight to the finish. GREEN MILE (1) is better than his recent form would suggest. He has finished second once and third three times from five starts over this distance. Each-way.
