GOING:

RACING240 MAIDEN PLATE 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 17)    

Brave Waam, Winter Whisper and Be All You Can Be to take up the running at a decent tempo. BE ALL YOU CAN BE (5) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing a nose from the winner in second over 1400m at Vaal. Big chance based on that effort. MASTER SMOKER (7) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at Vaal. Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. SUTTER'S MILL (10) is a two-start maiden who looks close to a win after placing at both runs, the latest when third over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will be in this for a long way. JIMMY VEGA (6) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
