#YOUCANBETONUS! MAIDEN PLATE 1600m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 25)    

Blood Of Eden to take up the running at a moderate tempo. MIRACULOUS MOMENT (11) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1160m at Turffontein Standside when third, beaten 3 lengths. Promising type with improvement to come so she is worth following up. FUTURE GAMBLE (1) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. BLOOD OF EDEN (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth. Quick back-up and back in trip. Has the ability and likely to measure up again. LANTERI (3) ran a better race last start, finishing 2 lengths away in fourth over 1450m at this track. Well placed to make amends.
