This is a weak work riders' Maiden Plate and caution is advised. The tentative first selection is PARABELLUM from the Paul Matchett stable. He ran a fair race over 1160m at Turffontein last time. It must be noted that Big Boy Bruce has come out and won again since. The son of Rafeef should enjoy the rise to 1600m. He jumps from a good draw of four and may be the one to side with. CHABAL has run three fair races to date. The son of Gimmethegreenlight steps up to 1600m and gets the services of capable work rider Phelisile Mongqawa. He has scope and is one of the leading contenders in this contest. FIZZLY BUBBLY showed some improvement in his last start over 1000m. He steps up to 1600m and gets the 1.5kgs taken off his back. The son of William Longsword is a progressive type and may have more to come. GIFT OF ROYAL showed some improvement in his last start over 1500m on the Turffontein Inside course. If confirming his recent improvement, he can earn another cheque for his patrons.
