GOING: G

BETWAY MAIDEN PLATE 1450m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 24)    

Fast tempo assured with Villa Semaya, Saudi Sweep and African Beauty going at each other early in the piece. GREENHOUSE (8) ran a good race when third on debut over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside course last start. She was slowly into stride, raced green but stayed on nicely at the finish. She would have gained from the experience and should like the extra distance on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, she should prove hard to beat. FAITHFUL MISTRESS (7) stayed on well when third over 1200m on debut. She would have come on from the run and should improve over the extra distance on offer. SAUDI SWEEP (2) has produced three decent efforts to date. If jumping on level terms with her rivals should be figuring in the finish. INSTANT ATTRACTION (9) turned in a much better run at her second appearance last time out when finishing third over 1400m at this track. Fitter and worth including in combinations.
