GOING:

HIGHVELD WINTER JUVENILE FILLIES STAKES 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 17)    

Plenty of pace established by Love Not War, Queen Leila and Secret Fate, with Celtic Manor close at hand. SECRET FATE (4) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1400m at Vaal two-and-a-half weeks ago. Promising type who can measure up again. LOVE NOT WAR (1) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths starting at $4.30. Grade 3 placed two back. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. NO DRAMA (2) produced a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at Vaal over 1200m. Right in the mix. CELTIC MANOR (5) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at this track over 1600m. Has a high cruising speed. Must be respected.
