GOING: GS

TAKE A BET WINA NUMBA NUMBA MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: SOFT   Clouds (Max: 24)    

Plenty of pace established by American Matador, Henry's Hedge and Donny's Boy, with Master Incolor close at hand. AMERICAN MATADOR (1) stayed on well when second of 12 over this distance on the polytrack last start. He has finished second in both his efforts on this course. He meets the right field and can shed his maiden tag. GOLDEN GREY (8) should have finished closer to the winner last time. He is having his first run for the Alan Greeff stable. He jumps from a good draw of two and is one of the leading contenders. HENRY'S HEDGE (2) returns from a spell and is having his first run for Juan Nel. The son of Louis The King has scope and he should have improvement to come. CLIFFIE CLAVIN (3) ran a better race last start, finishing a close-up sixth of 12 over 1600m at Fairview All Weather. Well placed to bounce back to form.
