#YOUCANBETONUS! MAIDEN PLATE 1900m

Track: AW      

Plenty of pressure with Salagadoola, Night In Japan and Woman In Gold leading the charge. WOMAN IN GOLD (1) is returning from a spell of 11 weeks. Finished ninth at Durbanville over 1250m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Dean Smith. Tackled much tougher company last campaign. Will prove tough to beat. FANTINE (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when sixth in a 1200m contest at this track six-and-a-half weeks ago. Nicely placed to take this out. SALAGADOOLA (3) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1600m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will give backers a great sight. CAN WE START (4) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1800m at Greyville All Weather. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
