GOING: G

CHARITY MILE 1 NOVEMBER MAIDEN PLATE 1800m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 19)    

Strong tempo primarily from Lunar Rainbow, Artic Silver and World Tour over Pass The Baton and Quello Che. NKWENKWEZI (2) has decent recent form lines to her credit. She tired late with the blinkers fitted over 1600m last time. Jason Gates steps back into the saddle and the combination may find themselves in the winner's enclosure. ARTIC SILVER (1) won her last start but was disqualified as the weight bag fell off in the closing stages. Has each-way claims. LUNAR RAINBOW (3) was well-beaten over 2000m last time. She has finished second twice and third once from as many starts over this distance. Include in exotic bets. WORLD TOUR (4) was outrun late when third over this distance at Turffontein last time. She has plenty of scope and with luck in the running can place.
