GOING: G

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 28)   4m on the back straight and bend with a 4m spur at the 500m mark  

Fast pace assured with Magic Secret, The Navy Lark and Together Again leading the charge. DRAGON DRAGON (7) showed good improvement when finishing second in her last start over this course and distance. She is a progressive type and with Richard Fourie in the saddle can go one place better. TOGETHER AGAIN (3) stayed on well when third over this distance at the Vaal last time. She is in a good space and rates well as one of the leading contenders. THE NAVY LARK (2) finished a close-up fourth last start. Nuzi Yeni is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her when it matters most. MAGIC SECRET (1) has shown improvement in her last two starts over 1000m. She should be ideally suited to 1200m and can finish in the top-three.
