GOING: G

JOHAN VAN DER LINDEN, NICK BLIGNAUT, JACOBUS VILJOEN MAIDEN PLATE 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 24)    

Plenty of speed with World Tour, Art Nouveau and Lunar Rainbow leading Flightlight and Artic Silver. ARTIC SILVER (2) stayed on when fourth over 1400m on this course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. She has scope and will love the rise to 1800m. She jumps from a good draw of three and may be the one to side with. ART NOUVEAU (1) raced from a handy position over 1400m last time, but found one too good on the day. She finished second in her only attempt over this distance. Hard to beat again. CITY LIGHTS (7) has decent recent form lines to her credit. She cops a tricky gate, but another honest effort can be expected. WORLD TOUR (5) showed some improvement in her last start over 1600m on the Inside course. She is coming along the right way and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she may have more to come. Include in all combinations.
