Durbanville Race 4 - Www.racecoast.co.za Maiden Plate
Good race for IN MOTION (3) to get off the mark. Missed the frame on debut then has been runner-up in two starts since, the latest here when beaten just a length. Drops in weight, steps up in trip, and off the low draw will go close. BEWARE (12) looks a big threat. Made debut over 1250m here and was a close-up fifth. Tricky gate but has big upside and looks suited by the extra ground now. SAG HARBOR (2) was probably not expected to do much in first campaign, having just the two starts, the latest much better than it looked when stepped up to 1400m. Has been given a long break and plenty of time and likely to relish the longer journeys this time in. KLEIN KAROO (5) was good over 1400m fresh and will strip much fitter. Winning chance with the run under his belt.

Was at a huge quote at debut, 8th of 10 at this track on September 13 over 1250m, 10 len behind Astronomical Boy with 60kg at $51. Can do better. Extra trip a plus and worth keeping safe.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 2nd of 10 at this track on September 13 over 1250m, 1.0 len behind Astronomical Boy carrying 60kg at $4. The run before that 2nd of 11 at Kenilworth on August 13 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Black Eagle carrying 58kg at $9. Should enjoy a nice run from the inside barrier and looks ready to win.

Second-up. First-up after three months 4th of 9 at this track on September 9 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind Gallic Forge with 60kg at $11. Previously second-up 6th of 10 at Kenilworth on May 13 over 1200m, 4 len behind Rhydian carrying 60kg at $7. Improver with winning prospects.
