GOING:

RACING TODAY MAIDEN PLATE 1000m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 24)    

Genuine tempo with Princess Of All and Bell Of Angelus pressing for the lead. DUCHESS ZAHRA (4) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1000m at Vaal in a tougher race. Kept coming to place. Sure to take a lot from that hitout and should be in the finish again. ELEGANT EDGE (5) stepped out on her debut over 1000m at Vaal a week-and-a-half ago and finished fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Expected to be very competitive. PRINCESS OF ALL (1) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at her latest appearance over 1160m at this track. Overdue for a win and leading rider goes aboard. Expected to go close. FOXY AFTER DARK (6) is facing the starter for the first time. By Captain Of All and is out of the Roy Magner stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
