GOING:

#YOUCANBETONUS! JUVENILE PLATE 1160m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 22)    

Solid tempo with Gone Cold leading from Spirit Of Gabz and Turn It Up. TURN IT UP (3) placed on debut then led and kept running when off the mark with maiden win here before a spell. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. STATUS SYMBOL (2) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 800m contest at this track by one length. Profiles nicely. GONE COLD (4) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 0.7 lengths from the winner in third over 1200m at Vaal. Has ability and must be respected. SPIRIT OF GABZ (1) ran fifth at his latest appearance over 1000m at this track, finishing 10 lengths from the winner. Winning claims on best figures.

Last start second last in a small field at this track in LR on March 7 over 1000m, 10 len behind World Attraction carrying 60kg at $26. The run before that 3rd of 8 at Scottsville on January 25 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Master Magician with 60kg at $9. Well back in grade for this. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Was well in the market at debut, 3rd of 8 at Vaal on March 5 over 1200m, on a slow track; 0.7 len behind The Bronx Bull carrying 60kg at $4.50. Kept coming and was close to the winner at first outing. Encouraging effort on debut and another big run is on the cards.

Jumped as a despised roughie at debut, 5th of 9 at this track on February 7 over 1000m, 10 len behind World Attraction carrying 60kg at $101. Fair effort on debut but may need more racing.
