GOING: G

P3 RACING SYNDICATE OPEN MAIDEN 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 24)    

Good tempo with several going forward, primarily Set To Music, Jet A One and Past And Present. PAST AND PRESENT (9) is overdue for a win with two recent placings, the latest finishing second over 2400m at Durbanville, and is down in the weights this time. Has a high cruising speed. Expecting a bold showing. SPECIAL GLAMOUR (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. JET A ONE (4) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when third over 1700m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Drawn to go forward. Winning claims on best figures. MOMENT OF TRUTH (10) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1700m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest.
