RACING TODAY MAIDEN PLATE 1200m Track: SOFT Rain (Max: 24) |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Hot tempo expected with Gimme A Storm, Tana Maree and Milo's Millionaire heading the charge. TANA MAREE (2) resumed from a spell last start and finished second of eight over 1000m at this track when well supported. The extra 200m in trip should suit and she looks well placed to take this race out. HEAVYLIESTHECROWN (8) is a filly by Rafeef from the stakes-winner Princess Ofthe Sky on debut. Has an inside draw so she get a soft trip in the running and is well worth considering. GIMME A STORM (1) was out of the money two runs back then last start over 1160m at Turffontein Standside, finished a close-up fifth of 10 when well supported. Rates well as an each-way chance. BLUE QUARTZ (5) finished fourth of 10 at Turffontein Standside over 1160m last start when resuming from a spell. Racing in a fitter state can place. Include in combinations.
