TSOGO SUN GOLD MEDALLION (Grade 1) - SEVENTH PLAIN set to run a big race

SEVENTH PLAIN travels this far for the first time but he does have good form with two wins from three starts. He won here last time when making his debut at the track. On debut he beat the highly rated BUCKINGHAMPSHIRE at Kenilworth. The next time they met the tables were turned but he looks above average and he will have the services of Anton Marcus. He should be the one to beat. Both of his wins have been impressive and he does look like the one to beat.

An interesting runner is the Gauteng raider, PROSPECT STRIKE, who certainly impressed on debut over the distance at the Vaal last time when he won by almost thirteen lengths. Mediocre horses don't win like that on debut and if he does not need to confirm that run should be a huge runner.

BEAT THE RETREAT finished 1,5 lengths behind SEVENTH PLAIN last time in his post maiden.  While he may not be able to overturn the result one should look to improvement form this son of ARGONAUT.

REDCARPET STYLE had his excuses in the Nursery last time. Won his two starts before that. He could be the one to show most improvement last time.

JET AIR won his maiden well on his second visit to the track last time. While he may need to confirm, he must still be considered for the places. Mike Bass is no stranger to the winner's box during the KZN Winter Season.

1st - SEVENTH PLAIN (10); 2nd - PROSPECT STRIKE (8); 3rd - BEAT THE RETREAT (1); 4th - REDCARPET STYLE (9); 5th - JET AIRE (4)
