HIGHVELD WINTER JUVENILE FILLIES STAKES 1400m

Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 17)    

Alta Capitana, Limerick Lace and Rachel Wall can set the pace. LIMERICK LACE (3) was an easy winner on debut over 1160m on this course. She raced from just off the pace, showed a good turn of foot and won with a ton in hand. With a bit of luck from the widest draw, she can remain unbeaten. ALTA CAPITANA (1) won a good race on debut over 1160m on this course last start when well supported. She showed good speed and fought hard all the way to the line. She should have no issues with the rise to 1400m and is one of the leading contenders. RACHEL WALL (5) found betting support when winning on debut over 1200m on the Inside course. She raced from a handy position, found a nice kick and won easier than the official margin suggests. Well placed top go back-to-back. MISS NOVAX (4) was her own worst enemy over 1500m last time as she over raced in the early stages. It is encouraging that Craig Zackey steps back into the saddle, and she would not be a shock winner.
