GOING:

TAB TELEBET 011 074 0300 MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 24)    

Madrid should spear straight to the front of the small field. BE THE ONE (7) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at Turffontein Inside over 1450m. Long overdue for a win and expected to go close this time. GIDDY UP GRACE (1) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 3 lengths from the winner in second over 1600m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MADRID (6) didn't do a lot on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing 12 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1400m at this track. Will take a lot from that experience. Comes through a fairly strong race on debut and is worth following up. LANCE ATTACK (2) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start, beaten 15 lengths over 1400m at this track at a huge quote. Should camp just off the leaders. Should give backers a sight.

Returns from a 34-day let-up. At the latest run ran second last of 7 at this track on August 19 over 1800m, 15 len behind Future Red with 56kg at $67. The start before that ran last of 7 at this track on August 13 over 1600m, 9 len behind Steel Spring carrying 60kg at $126. Needs to improve to trouble the top handful.

Last start 2nd in a small field at Turffontein Inside on September 5 over 1450m, long-neck behind Celtic Manor with 60kg at $11. The run before that 5th of 7 at Turffontein Standside on August 8 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind From The Get Go carrying 54kg at $7. Making headway. Likely to measure up again.
