GOING: G

DIANNE STENGER CLASSIFIED STAKES 1160m

Track: GOOD   Clouds (Max: 16)    

Keen tempo with Maverick Queen and Western Wishes prominent. MAVERICK QUEEN (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1450m at Vaal, beaten 7 lengths into fifth. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SUNSET WARRIOR (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1200m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. WESTERN WISHES (5) finished third over 1200m at Vaal at her most recent appearance on April 17. Looks a strong top-three prospect. UNICORN ALERT (2) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished fourth at Durbanville over 1400m when first-up last time in work.
