GOING:

BETWAY MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 26)    

Anticipating a strong tempo with plenty of speed engaged. WINSTON'S WONDER (8) produced a promising debut effort over 1160m on the Standside course. He took time to find his feet, but the manner in which he finished off his race was encouraging. He would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he may be the one to beat. WALL STREET (7) ran a fair race on debut over 1100m. He returns from a 24-week break and is having his first outing for the Robyn Klaasen stable. If not in need of the run, he should throw out a big challenge to the top choice. SILVER LONGSWORD (1) stayed on well when third over this distance on the Vaal Classic course last time. Raymond Danielson retains the ride, and he should be competitive. ONE EYE ON VEGAS (6) is an unraced son of Buffalo Bill Cody from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable with Callan Murray doing duty. If not in need of the run, he should go a bold race.
