GOING: G

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MAIDEN JUVENILE PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 17)    

Many of these step out for the first time so a frantic pace is likely early on over this sharp trip. TAKE YOUR PLACE (4) caught the eye when second on debut over this course and distance. She showed good pace, but was caught in the shadow of the post. She would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected can go one better. TIPPERARY (5) ran a fair race on debut over 1000m at Turffontein, finishing fourth of seven when sent out at long odds. She would have come on from the run and should like the rise to 1200m. WILLOWILD (8) ran a fair race in her last start over 1000m on the Classic course, finishing third. The manner in which she finished off her race that day suggests that she will like the rise to 1200m. She is a progressive type and can finish in the placings. FIERY PEGASUS (1) is a two-year-old filly facing the starter for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Captain Of All from Scorched. Well worth considering.
