GOING:

LIVE IT. LOVE IT. OWN IT. www.racecoast.co.za PROGRESS PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 28)    

Tactical given the lack of speed. TALK TO THE MASTER (3) returned to winning form second up last start, scoring by a neck over 1500m at this track. In form and goes very well here. The one to beat again. RANDOLPH HEARST (2) is a talented gelding who was well held last time out in the tougher Politician Stakes won by Star Major over 1800m at Kenilworth, beaten 8 lengths into sixth. Yet to find winning form this prep but has been thereabouts with three placings from four starts. Should prove tough to beat. REGENERATION (5) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Scored over 1400m at Greyville to launch the last campaign. Makes plenty of appeal. ANCIENT WORLD (4) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1750m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into eighth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
