EAST CAPE NURSERY 1200m Track: GOOD Rain (Max: 22) |

|---|---|---|---|---|

Just a small field but Into Red Space, U S Ranger and First Officer can ensure the pace is genuine. MASTER MTOTO (4) remains unbeaten after two starts, scoring again last time over 1200m at this track. Kept fresh and expected to be in the finish once again. U S RANGER (5) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1200m, beaten one length. Cherry-ripe now. Winning rider Richard Fourie stays aboard. Sure to run well. INTO RED SPACE (2) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1100m at this track four weeks ago. Has upside and is well placed to feature again. FIRST OFFICER (1) finished third last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.25 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals.
