GOING: G

PLAY SOCCER 6, 10 AND 13 MAIDEN PLATE 1450m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 22)    

Theres A Light, Viva La Victor and And Action to take up the running at a decent tempo. STREWN SKY (4) showed good improvement in his comeback run over 1160m on the Standside course, finishuing second He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and from his good draw of three he can go one better. THERES A LIGHT (1) set the pace over 1400m last time but was caught in the shadow of the post. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. Richard Fourie is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him when it matters most. THE PLAYBOY BOMBER (9) ran a decent race in his last start over this course and distance, finishing second of nine. He stayed on well at the finish but found one too good on the day. He is a progressive type and with luck in the running he won't be far away at the line. APACHE SON (8) finished midfield on debut last time out, over 1450m at this track. Jumping from a good draw deserves another chance.
