SAF - FAIRVIEW   24 May 2024
 
GOING: GS

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: AW   Rain (Max: 18)    

Hot tempo expected with King Of Queen, Resurgence and Take A Mulligan heading the charge. KING OF QUEEN (1) should have finished closer to the winner last time as he had to change ground for running room at the 400m mark. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He has finished second in all of his last four starts and rates highly. CAPTAIN EFFICIENT (4) has fair form lines to his name. It must be noted that the horse that finished second in his last outing has come out and won since. On best form shown he rates well as a leading chance. BYTHELITEOFTHEMOON (10) is better than her last start run would suggest as she was reported to be not striding out. On her previous form she should be fighting out the finish. TAKE A MULLIGAN (3) last appeared seven weeks ago over 1600m at Kenilworth when he finished ninth. This is his first run for the Gavin Smith stable. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
