#YOUCANBETONUS! MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1400m Track: GOOD Clouds (Max: 18) |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Good speed anticipated with a large number of first starters lining up. BE THE ONE (1) has taken on winners in both career starts and showed improvement when fifth over 1200m here last time. That form has been franked since, and she looks well placed dropping into maiden company. IMPRESSIVE (5) has been competitive in her recent outings and returns to the Highveld with claims in a race of this nature. TREX ON FIRE (12) has shown ability in two starts, leading over 1600m last time before being run down late. With further improvement expected and Gavin Lerena aboard, she can give a bold sight. GO FOR BROKE (4) is an unraced daughter of Querari from the Lucky Houdalakis stable. Well related and with Craig Zackey engaged, she warrants close market attention on debut.
