GOING:

JOHN MCMURTRY, MARK NEL, SIMON RAHILLY MAIDEN PLATE 1160m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 25)    

Hot pace certain with Drachenfutter, Ruby Whisper and Secret Life keen to take up the running. RUBY WHISPER (8) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4.5 lengths away in third over 1160m at this track. Was stakes placed the start prior. Go close. DRACHENFUTTER (6) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1160m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. Has the class to find the winners' list. GATHERING WINTER (2) improved last start to finish second over 1200m at Vaal. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. DESTINY'S DREAM (1) returns after four months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a ninth over 1400m at Kenilworth. Good effort to open last prep when in the money at Durbanville over 1250m. Can kick off with a bold showing.
