GOING: Y

GALLOP FORM MAIDEN PLATE 1200m

Track: SOFT   Rain (Max: 31)    

Fast pace with Bella Magic showing out and Alakazam crossing to apply some pressure. PAST IS PROLOGUE (8) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing third and beaten only 1.5 lengths. Really wound up strongly fresh and fitter again. Can go on with it. KALI BWANA (10) is still a maiden after 11 starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1600m at Greyville All Weather following a minor placing at Greyville All Weather over 1400m the run prior. Overdue for a win and looks a major player on recent form.PEACH MELBA (9) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 3.5 lengths when fifth in a 1200m contest at this track four weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SIYABAMBELELA (14) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths at Greyville over 1400m. Nicely placed to make amends.
